The 01E gearbox and other derivatives are commonly used over here for Ford GT40 replica builds and they seem to hold up for that. (guessing 300-400 hp is a common range)
Then again you can abuse anything to breakage if you are determined enough but I dont think many 914's run wide enough tires for this to be a problem. The tires will break loose before anything in the gearbox gives up. |

The tires will break loose before anything in the gearbox gives up. This is going a little off topic, but that's actually not true. It's not so much a traction thing as an wheel acceleration thing. So if you apply a ton of power it doesn't matter if the tires hook up or not, you can still grenade the gearbox. I've read some papers with this data, and also measured it myself on a racecar with strain gauges attached to both axles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
