Yo Brad,
So now I gotta go and get me one of them dyno'ed 3.6 variowhatchacallits for my 914. Will the 914 tranny with LSD and Intermediate plate that you built for me handle a 3.6?
im not brad.... (but i stayed at a holiday inn last night)
its not geared optimum for a six.
talk to dan calicott, as he runs a huge HP 3.6 thru a 901.....

Thanks for the replies. I suffer from six envy.
Andy's doing the 3.6 <-> 901 thing. Let him blow his up. Or buy a cheapie donor 901 and see how long that lasts. That should be a decent indicator of what your nice tranny can do.
tranny's ... aren't they chicks with uhm never mind.

I took the teeth off a 901 ring gear at 290hp. Pulling out of T 13 @ TH. 901 is VERY marginal at that HP.

And it was only a 2100# car not a 911.
Ken
Yea Ken, but you had some big assed tires on that car.
Something had to give
Yea, but so does Bill.
Dan are you a "go" for 2/25?
Ken
I'll be there to instruct, but car will not be ready until TT#2

Not a 3.6 but a 4.7... 901 works good for me.
Yeah... but you only use 4th and 5th....

3.6 envy....I have it cuz I want one in my 914!.....
Patrick, I don't know how long a 901 will last, but the torque of a 993 can't be all that good. If its street use...maybe it will last. If it's track...especially autox humping...my opinion is no.
What's your timeline for getting one mated to a 3.6? The reason I ask is believe it or not I have ANOTHER flipped ring and pinion 915 with an open diff sitting on my parts shelf at home...my sickness with The Beast was such that I was thinking of having a spare 915 box to swap into the car since the 3.6 has a tendency to eat even 915's with track use.
I may be persuaded to part with it.....
Of course...I was saving it for that rainy 3.6 day.....
or maybe SirAndy would like dibs on it?

Bill - WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 930 Box??
Ken
My friend (Randy Beck from Upland, CA) had a 914/6 all out race car running 320HP and never once blew his 901 up. He says that if you are really smooth and know how to drive...a 901 will take quite a beating with almost any 300-350 HP 911 flat six. These motors can produce pretty decent HP but not enough torque (what kills a trans) to blow a 901 up. If you beat the thing like a stupid high school kid....sure you'll blow it to smithereens!!!!!! If you have a torque monster motor...you may consider a 915...or a 930 box. If you have more money than sense...a nice inverted 12K G50/50 set up is killer. My point is this...If you have around 300 HP running a 3.2 or 3.6 and you blow your 901 up....YOU DID SOMETHING STUPID AND NEED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE MORE SMOOTHLY! (Rick Ollah runs a 928 motor through a 901)
Bill
Bill,
Thanks for the offer, but let Andy have it if he is anywhere close to ready. I will probably run my 4 for this season, but even that may not happen.
Hi Patrick,
Sorry to hear you may not have the teener running this year.... I can relate....
Are you going to run one of your other P cars?
Hi Ken,
Yep...still have the 930 box...that's on another shelf....
Don't tell Doris.....
Bill P.

Is this the same Randy Beck we're talking about? I believe his number was 8. I was only relaying info that he has told me personally over the years. I've seen him race many times and have raced against him and i can say he is one of the best and smoothest drivers out there. His heart rate during a race is probably about 50 bpm. I think we are indeed talking about the same guy. His car was blue...with a wing and an aero tunnel through the hood (for extra zesty downforce...weeeeeeeee!) Anyway, hope your stuff holds together.
