Turbo rods, they handle the extra boost from the turbo.Chuck

^ wrong
The B6t are "stronger" than the Bp rods. Granted the bp rods are also in the BPT's. The only stock option for stronger than the B6T rods is the BPD GTR rods...
Also depends on the price point your working towards. Decent aftermarket miata rods surpass even the GTR rods & weigh less to boot.
It's a good thing you don't read the stickies, you might of learned something.

iirc 1.6 miatas have made 250hp on stock rods and theyre weaker than b6t rods.Better Than Nothing Racing
Way too many cars

all b6 botom end parts will swap save for the pistons (bore remains the same, valve reliefs can change).
run the lighter of the two rods, you won't break them unless you're tune is off.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
