The cc pressure appears to be weak pcv valves. It's not a problem until I run more than ~9psi. I just need to get a proper GTX valve.
I'm running the bellhousing from the small truck trans bolted up to Miata/Mx5 box. I'm working on a solution using the big box from the turbo rx7 and bell from a bongo van (thanks Fred). The F8 block I have was an auto trans with flex plate, so I need to bolt up the original FEdohc flywheel, clutch and pp I have to see how it sits in relation to the input shaft on the trans. Once I get that resolved, I'll work up an adapter to put the ppf on the trans tail. - rob

I don't know much about that stuff but wouldn't it be better if you shortened the bell house.. since you want to keep the axel as short as possible to prevent it to woble in high revs..
