914-6 nrear conversion Options

[mwizard1]

Can someone point me to info about converting to 914-6 5 bolt rear "hubs"?

Heads up!

Real "Porsche" requires more conversion parts.

Front rotor/hubs require 911 struts cause the spindle diameter is different.

Rear flanges require different outer axle stubs, and this normally means 911 rear half shafts.

I prefer real Porsche, but the cost increase is NOT equal to the performance increase.

911 stuff is pricey, even used.

If you go "all the way" to a 3.5 caliper spacing on the front strut housings (later, more expensive housings) you can use Boxster (base) calipers.

In the rear if you want to use the corresponding Boxster rears you have to add early 911 emergency brake set up to the trailing arms if you want/need parking brake.

I see going real Porsche as increasing the cost by a factor of 3 maybe 4.

"Best" caliper for the 3" spaced struts is the Brembo Alfa caliper. The Porsche S caliper is another option but watch for corrosion with those. They are Aluminum and OLD!!!

Once again, PMB is a good source for info/parts regarding brakes on these puppies.

Edit:
Now, your post says 914-6...
If it's a real 914-6 it already has some of this crap anyway (like the rear 1/2 shafts, flanges).

If your car started life as a four and is not going to have more that 250 hp, the 4 set up can work FINE!

Lots of folks use 4 cylinder stuff with fairly powerful sixes...
