It is best to buy a 1.8... the 1.6 guys use so many parts from that car that it would be cheaper to buy a 94 + (94-95.5 are obd 1, and the most wanted...)
Search on the classified section for a t3 manifold and go with a garrett super 60.
The gt2560r should take you there...but not without big mods...
Go with the t3 and anything below the 300rwhp can be achieved.
Above 250 hp trannies start to break.. but they are cheap enough...

Yeah but the GT28 is expensive. You can get a T3-60 for less and have a ceiling of 300 which is high enough to destroy your trans and rearend without a problem if driven very abusively.
It's not the internals of the miata that fail, it's the tune that fails causing detonation. Detonation kills motors not weak internals. Though some say the rods are the weakest link though. There are many people that make big power on fully stock motors.

I would go for the 94-95 were I to do it again myself, basically just for the differential and brakes, which I upgraded later ... but i did it for free because I bought a 97 as a daily driver and did a lil swaparoo.

get a t3 -60 and run it with a stand alone. On a bone stock engine @ 15psi it will be able to reach your goals...
The gt2560 is topping out @ this hp level... The gt3071r (t2) is also a good option.
For stand alone: Link ecu is the easiest...Hydra expensive and powerfull...
lots of ecu's to get it to run.
