Sorry to rehash old threads again, but we're about to embark on this project soon, I hope. We're looking at possibly either a, turbo'd 2.0 Type 4, Subaru or SBC v8 and an automatic transmission(for the veterans). My question, what transmission would work. I've read that Auto(fwd or 5000 model) will work. Passat trannys are the same as Boxsters, and Subaru fwd trannys.
Any suggestions or recommendations? We hope to do this over the winter. We'd appreciate any suggestions to help us finally get this done. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

 The center diff is custom torque biasing,the front diff any that will handle the power. This is a great idea,thanks.Paddle shift/Full Auto,good to +1100 hp. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)  / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92XzqX1jpgI This is it,real strong. Mount the engine/trans normally transverse for a RWD,or,longitudinally for the far-out AWD 914. Much more work,adapting rear and front diffs into the 914 chassis,front spindles to carry the axle shafts,brakes. Why,an off-road V8 4x4 914,would be a quaint anachronism at the Paris-Dakar Rally.Fun too. Simpler to come by than the aircooled Tatra V8,but,much heavier and more powerful. Painted a flat shade of Sahara,adorned with Hellas and spares,it would make a pretty picture. Down low with slicks,a twin-turbo would make some quick laps,with a great grip advantage.  BloozeBerry pix. A rear subframe would definitely be in the works,to carry the loads,now much larger. Heck,with the chassis already a racer,a migration to full tube is an easy one. AWD 914...still a great idea Mike,and a mirror of the factory 959.Inspiring. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) / Let's say you 'wants more gear',and six will do nicely. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DzA3T5o1Ac Shift Points,Ratio Data: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000136-5.html Preventive Maintenance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5lNmwd2P4A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmrMZyQuDCE Lighting up all the tires in a similar way would make a real nice 'RennWagen',and clothed in 914 guise,an unexpected surprise. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) / The Northstar,or Shortstar option,being the least expensive 4-valve option,is narp. So,a latemodel Porsche V8,is then the other end of the scale,not cheap. This then,is a premium option,a scored 928 block,made new with wet liners,for a 5.8L displacement,7L,with the 3.75" stroker crank. http://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/73700...28-engines.html (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) / |
