Hello,
So my situation is that I'm going up to Chico for school and want something with higher gearing. I have a 914 w/ a 350 putting out about 280hp/330tq. I was considering doing a 915 but it seems that it wouldn't be much of an upgrade to the 901. A 930 would be nice and I'v heard that the gearing is good for a v8. A G50 seems really expensive and really overkill. I would like to do as much of the work myself so that I can keep the cost down. So I would like to know what is entailed in doing the different transmissions, the issues with the different ones and what needs to change. Thanks. Paul '72 5.8 918 |

Thanks for the update Hayden.. I'm getting 2-3 calls a week about 930 boxes for mid-engine use. The word is spreading that we can do them now... the word is also spreading that we may have a real solution for shift linkage in the near future.
Steve.. you cant run a Hewland on the street. They have straight cut gears that whine like crazy... and no true synchronizer for upshifts. The Hewland equivilant of the 930 box would run you close to 14k dollars new. I recieved a call today from a guy with a Tube frame V8 kit car having trouble shifting his 930 box... B |
