Curiosity got me to pondering the above questions....
Suppose non-Subaru motor for the Subaru transmission and non-Boxster/Audi engine for the Boxster transmission. What about axles and hooking up to the drive hubs? One easier or vastly less expensive than the other? EDIT 2/21/2016: Now with pictures comparing Boxster transmission to 901 transmission |

I'm surprised in two pages here nobody has mentioned gearing. . .
Which one runs taller and wider gear sets that would be better for a v8? |

I'm surprised in two pages here nobody has mentioned gearing. . . Which one runs taller and wider gear sets that would be better for a v8? My take on gearing with ls1/ boxster S 6 speed. Tire size 205 50 15 I run 2700 at 65mph,3900 at 100mph 6th gear. Around town driving is so smooth, I use 1-6,freeway driving It's a little high but it keeps me at respectable speed >100. Top end probably 130ish maybe more but that not for me. Best part boxster S transmission is you use shifter and cables from Boxster,works perfectly and cheep. |
