I've been running my 03 VW 1.8T conversion for a couple of years now, and I'm about to complete the final drive train component. I located an "012" transmission which is used in the Boxster and Passat longitudinally. Shine racing installed the Quaiffe for me, and the the trans bolts straight up to the engine with out any adapter.
The cable shifting is the best thing since sliced bread, as the shift is much more direct and confirming than my 901 setup ever was. I was able to use an 84 Carrera electronic speedo directly, but it does need a little tweeking in the calibration dept as it reads about 5mph fast @highway speed. One of the benefits of this update, is the improved gearing. As this specific transmission was designed to be behind this engine. Did I mention the nice power?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Been driving it since 2006, I never did a World documented build for it. I post pics every once in awhile if it can contribute to someones cause. Still runs great, gets its legs stretched every so often on long road trips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) It's getting rust bubbles here and there that need to be tended too, but I can't bare taking it off the road to do the body right.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I'm finally taking my 1.8T to the dyno tuner on Tuesday. We will see if the big turbo and other parts will add up to ~350hp or so. I love how tame the motor is for normal driving and how it comes alive when going into boost! On Wednesday I drive the 914 500 miles to Los Angeles for the PCA Escape. Out of 300 cars, I'm the only 914 going. Magnus Walker will be judging in the car show. We will see if he likes this 914 Outlaw... |
