I know this engine has been used in the 914 chassis before, and it's an awesome alternative to the Porsche 6 conversion, but it's never been done with a Boxster/Audi transaxle. Here are a few pictures to get things started.
First, some rust repair around the "hell hole". All of the shiny or grinded metal is new material to replace the cancer spots...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i180.photobucket.com-11979-1355114276.5.jpg) Nothing ground breaking with the engine mounting cradle really, other than the use of the stock Boxster transmission mounting brackets which meant the engine cradle goes above the axles rather than below.

You used the word "kit" so now say more. Lots more, and including mainly when and how much. Thanks.

QUOTE(DBCooper @ Apr 26 2013, 06:29 AM)  You used the word "kit" so now say more. Lots more, and including mainly when and how much. Thanks. Well we never really intended to manufacture anything specifically for the 914 chassis. Our adapter kit was made for Boxster engine conversion. It just so happens that the basic adapter kit can be used in other mid-engine applications including the 914's. As of right now, we don't have plans to produce 914 specific engine mounting cradles (although that could change if there is enough interest to justify a small production run), but the basic adapter kits are available, and include a billet adapter plate, billet aluminum flywheel, modified Subaru starter, and hardware kit. If you want more info than that, please send me an email at precisionchassis@mail.com |
