914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 1.8T VW engine question

Posted by: RJMII Apr 9 2010, 08:27 PM

Will the VW GTI bolt up to a Boxster Trans? the 1.8 turbo VW engine is looking like a 914 implant possibility for someone I know.

Good power but heavy, some one else was doing a 1.8T conversion so do a search.
Phone KEP they can adapt anything.

I had the 1.8 16v Volkswagen GTI engine in my car. Nearly 160horsepower and fun to drive! Sounded good too ( twin webers)

But decided I really like the sound and performance of the Subaru engines and bought a JDM STI engine.

Sold the Engine+914box to a kitcar builder.

There is a member here, Okieflyr, who has a VW turbo mated to a Boxster trans and a cable shift. Beautiful car! Maybe he has done what you want to do.
