Question on steering racks, ...are there different ones? Options

[naro914]

Hi all,
My questions centers around the turning ratio's of the racks. Are there different ones or are all 914 racks the same? I remember a while ago - maybe years - someone posting a 914/6 GT rack saying the turning ratio was different than stock. Then I think I saw someone say they had a different ratio rack, but I can't find those posts, or confirm any information on them.

So...are there any steering racks with better ratio's than stock? i.e. turn the steering wheel less to get more turn of the wheels?

thanks all

I looked into this years ago...when I was rebuilding my rack (s)

I seem to recall a 911 RS version that was a porsche part number with a much shorter ratio.
Its rare...but it also means the pinion gear exists.
Look up that part number on the stock rack and see if one our our Porsche parts guys can dig a bit deeper to look for the other pinion gear.
Its a little stub that is about 3 inches long...not super hard to make, but easier to buy if its on some shelf somewhere..

I looked into getting one,,,,not worth the effort for me at that time.

All the 911 racks seem to be the same physical size...at least all the 911 racks from cars that have the same front suspension as our 914 does.
