914 / LS1 / 996 / boxster 6 speed, axels Options

[drive-ability]

So using a factory 996 suspension and a 2001 or so Boxster "S" 6 speed transmission. I guess the two don't mate together from the factory but they do share parts. I am the only one I know doing this, HST what axles would I use ? Maybe a factory axle would fit ? or at least bolt / spline up on each end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Pacific Customs http://www.pacificcustoms.com/porsche-930-...moly-axles.html has a good selection of both types and will sell single axles for offset diff like the Boxster you are using. You will need one axle 3/4"-1" shorter than the other. These guys also sell a CV grease ring 7/16" thick that can be used to spade a CV out if your axle is too short.

If you end up with a severe angle on your axles (like me) you will need "Non Plunging" CV's with EMPI axles. The non plunging type can be used up to 40°.

I also have several 33 & 28 spline EMPI axles of various lengths. when you figure out a length PM me and I'll see if I have what you need.

If your using a early (2000 to 2004) Boxster S six speed transaxle the pass and driver axles are the same length. I suspect this is what you are using because this is the only one that Kennedy makes a adapter for the LS engine. The flanges on this take the larger 930 CV joint.
I don't know for sure what the 996 uses for the hubs, but I would guess that they are 930 size.

If you still have the G50 transaxle that was in your car do you want to sell it?
