anybody heard of a V-TEC conversion for the 914. KEP could probably come up with an adapter if he doesn't have one already. but, will a front drive motor work with a rear drive tranny? does the crankshaft spin in the same direction? anyone hear of any other front drive engine conversions? my 914 deserves more power than i can afford to get out of my type 4 motor. for the cost of nickies and upright cooling and head work, etc. i could have a turbo vtec setup.

QUOTE(mattillac @ Dec 16 2004, 11:47 PM) still wondering if flipping the ring and pinion will require any tranny mods. Flipping the ring and pinion in a 901 is not a difficult task if you have the correct tools. But it is tedious if you don't have experience. Here's the thing to remember... IF YOU USE A 914 TRANSMISSION, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FLIP THE RING AND PINION." Flipping the ring and pinion has absolutely no effect on the direction the input shaft of the transmission spins. It just reverses the direction the output flanges spin. Every engine built by Porsche or VW spins the same way. Therefore, all of the parts in the transmission were designed to accept stresses from the proper rotation direction. Yes, you can flip the ring and pinion, and hook a motor that spins the other direction to it. But It will probably break. And if it doesn't, It will be very hard to shift, the gears will grind, and the life of the gearbox will be reduced signifigantly. Think about this, we have vendors out there that make billett intermediate plates for the 901 because of wear problems when spun in the correct direction. |
