The new Panorama has a story on a Karman Ghia body being fit to a Boxster, it got me thinking. I have seen Suby swaps, Chevy swaps what about a Boxster engine in a 914? Would it be cost prohibitive? Anyone done the swap?

This gives me so many bad ideas. Cams, rods, better valve springs, light flywheel, and some ITBs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Now I wonder just how much torque the boxster transmission can take (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) How about a gt3 motor in a 914...... |

AND Tell us, oh guy who should know... What can a boxster transmission take for torque? Even better..what is the 918 transmission? Is it a beefed up boxster tranny, or a whole new thing? |

It's a 997 GT2 engine that I had out a few weeks ago. As far as the Boxster transmissions go, I have never seen any published torque values. Porsche does not give us that information anymore. The base boxster trans is fairly stout. Usually the axles will fail first. The trans in the 918 is going to be entirely different. When I see it, if I am permitted, I will take pictures for you guys. It will have the rear hybrid electric motor in between it and the engine with the ability to use either or both to drive the car. |
