With the turbo I'm thinking the 4.77's are overkill and a bit unneccessary. FYI mine do whine, and one of the seals needs to be fixed/replaced.

 

are you wanting to trade straight up is that what you are asking?

 

Yes, had I known when I got these that I was going to go turbo, I wouldn't have gotten them.

 

how much will it cost to get the seals fixed? and where would we do the swapp?

 

The big issue is the whine. They shouldn't be making noise if they were set up properly. Did you install the ring and pinion?

I finally gave up on putting gears in the Miata cause I couldn't find any where in town that would do it.

While it is out take is someplace and have it checked!

 

thanks for the advice, ut i though i read somewhere that with the 4.77 they have a natural whine to them i may be wrong though? and does anybdy know the advantages of having 4.77's on a pretty stock S

Todd installed them, twice in fact, and he assured me they are fine. He actually "fixed" the seal once, supposedly it just wasn't seated correctly? You'd have to ask him for specifics. As for the whine, its been there since the install over a year ago, and it only makes it under light throttle.

 

how bad does it suck gas though cause it revs higher right?

 

I don't really drive my car enough nor care enough to measure my car's gas mileage. Even if I did and it were shitty it would more likely be from having turbo/larger injectors and what not. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that if you were to keep your same driving habits it would be the same, if not better gas mileage.
