"TRANSZILLA", side shift 914 - 901 build Options

[mrbubblehead]

after a couple of months of planning and parts collecting i have finally started my transzilla build. it will using a normal 914 side shift trans, with a few up grades, i will be dialing in the ring and pinion back to spec with this build also.

i laid all the parts out on my assembly table to give you guys an idea of all the parts installed.

if anyone has any questions on anything jump in and ask..... this is my thread and anything goes. so if we need to go back a few pages to answer a question it would be no problem (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

lets continue. now that i know the oil system is going to work its time to do the case mods.

i have a friend who is a lube oil and analysis engineer and he has taught me alot. i am a firm believer in neodymium magnets. i use them in my engines and gearboxes. they will pick up metal particles down to one angstrom. way smaller than any filter could pick up. so the first thing i do is scuff the bottom of the trans with 80 grit sandpaper and jbweld a long neo magnet to the bottom of the trans.

its time to drill and tap some holes for the squirters. these two are for the 4/5 synchro rings and dog teeth. one squirter for each.

obviously the tubes will be cut down and the tubes bent to supply the oil where needed.

these two holes are for the differential area. one squirter for the front main shaft bearing, and one for the ring gear.

now this picture is just a mock up for the ring gear squirter. in the 914/901 the ring gear rotates clockwise. so i want to squirt the ring right AFTER it meet the pinion to get maximum cool oil on the gear.

and then i modified an old filler plug (no tiny magnet) to adapt to an AN fitting. this will be used in the original oil drain location. now it is the scavenge exit to feed the pump.

and since the drain plug will never need to be removed again, and wont impede any future cleaning. it gets jb welded in....
