Cheers for the info.

What Jeff reports is very unusual. I'd tend to put syncho issues down to user error. The boxes  do appear to be pretty strong. Unless of course you have the auto which is made of chocolate. 
400bhp+ on a manual box does not seem to be an issue .
Auto is generally limited to around 260bhp though it's the torque that is the issue. 

We're having a fundraising dyno day at H-Dev in aid of the Anthony Nolan charity. Barbeque and coffees / teas and dyno power runs for £39.99 - all proceeds go to the charity.

I'm pretty new to this forum but have been a GT86 owner for a couple of years now. Our company GT86 is undergoing changes to make it a little more track orientated. The standard car is excellent as a day to day car, but we wanted to make it a little tighter, handle a little better and go a bit better.
Here are a few pics of the work we've done so far. It started off completely standard - the first thing we did was to fit some Ohlins suspension. This probably wouldn't have been the first modification I'd usually carry out but we got them with the car and couldn't resist trying them out.

Handled well on track:


Next up was to tune the car with ECUTek - quite a complicated engine with variable in/ex cams, port and direct injection - so plenty to play with.
Managed to get a a few more powers - this was on a completely standard car, with no hardware changes.

To tighten up the suspension a little we opted to go for a full superpro kit - we've been using these on the 350Z and 370Z for years and it transforms the feel of the car






Love the Superpro finish and quality - much better than most. Hopefully will stay looking good.
We've also experimented with decat pipes, EL headers and inlet plenum spacers - all giving positive results after the necessary ECU tweeks.
And finally, where we are now - about three quarters of the way through a turbo conversion:

Mapping to follow - hopefully it'll liven things up a bit. Just hope the roads dry out soon...
