Why aren't they used in 914 conversion cars? I did a search on the board for 944 transmission but came up blank. For a six speed a 968 transmission could be used.
I'm sure there is a reason why they are not used but I don't know it. Anyone care to enlighten me? |

My 89 944 turbo dyno'd at 280 rwhp/307 lb-ft torque at 15 psi (k27/8) and I've never had a transmission problem. I know others who are making more power and it seems like the transmission is holding up fine. The 915 transmission I have for my project car is not an LSD model and from the looks of it the cost to purchase and install an LSD could be in excess of what a good used 944 turbo transmission would be. However, if a 944 turbo transmission has never been done and there are a lot of problems getting one to work I think I will keep looking for a cheap LSD for my 915.
The Kennedy Engineering info I got with my adapter plate says that the G50 is for rear engine (not mid engine) use only. |
