MA10ET tuning

[Type-R]

I have searched the forums and have seen past topics about it. Interesting... just a few questions

Ok so does the 1.2 manual gearbox from a k10 fit this engine?
Is there an uprated clutch around that will fit the above box?
How much bhp and torque can this engine handle before it dies?

From anyone who has experience with this engine is it worth tuning and using it with a k10?

1.2 box is not strong enough. They MA10ET use a similar box to the March ST. The clutch and flywheel is also the same as a march ST. I would imagine the brakes are upgraded (I HOPE!!!) and not K10 ones, in which case K10 driveshafts wont fit so unless you modify brakes or driveshafts the MA12 box will be no good.

As for mods, I am able to fit e-manage then with turbo, intercooler, fuel system upgrades - 120-150bhp would be quite possible.

read your other post about being as powerfull as a 1.3 k11. Put me off it.
