best tranny for b6t to use? plus other parts?

[mikemounlio]

Gonna b6t my festiva soon. What would be the best tranny to use? I will be adding power as time goes on. I will rip the b6tapart and replace everything while i have it out. So new water pump, gaskets, belts, and the entire list.

Aside from tranny what all should i do to the motor while its out and down? It seems the con rods are the weak link. Any direction here would be great. In the end i think 200-250hp would be nice. Im not afraid to throw money at it if its for the right reason. Car will remain a daily driver but i do have a few other modes of getting around.

G series from xr2 capri.
Along with the axels and Jackshaft.
I'm not not en engine builder but I think that those hp numbers are reachable with stock rods. The miata guys do it and the b6t is the same engine with lower compression pistons.
But someone with more experience should chime in.

I think i want the festiva build to be able to best the mustang guys that have an intake and a fancy exhaust. Never built a festiva so im not sure how much hp that will need. Any ideas on that?

You need a custom intake and a better turbo and custom exhaust manifold for best results

That b6t intake manifold is like blowing through a straw
