Just thought I might pass along these pics, someone was asking what alternative transmissions could be used in a 914. For racing I choose this dog ring Hewland. I have heard Keith Peare at Powertech in NJ has been installing Boxter transmissions.
Any one live near San Mateo, and would be willing to rattle a business owners cage for me. This guy has my parts 5 months (given me fake tracking numbers)and 900.00 of my money and no parts. E-mail me offline if your interested. Any east coast ball busters are encouraged to e-mail. Soccerrace@aol.com Thanks, Erik Madsen Attached image(s) |

I'm guessing that you are going to run a small motor. The MK 10 and other small Hewland boxes dont like much over 180lb ft of torque. I spent of lot time looking into this several years ago when SCCA said we could run them with a weight penality in EP/FP. I spent some face time with Craig Taylor (Taylor Race Engineering) discussing what would work with our 185/190 HP T4's. He didnt seem to think we would be happy with the amount of "work" required to maintain a Hewland.
Good luck and keep us posted it is obvious your building a VERY nice car from the parts pics you have been posting. Get us some more info on this Boxster guy. B |
