I recently bought a 1990 911 with the 3.6 and tiptronic. I love driving it and came up with a crazy idea. I want to put one in my street 914. Has anyone done this? I want to mate it to a 3.6. Is the tiptronic in a boxter the same as the one in my 911? If so, it would not need the gears flipped. Any help with this dream would be appreciated.

I have a TIP in my 993 and looked into converting it back to a manual. It's huge bucks since the tip is tied into everything.
There was a guy in San Diego that converted a 914 to an auto using an Audi trans. It is doable, however I agree with the other posts. A four speed in a 914 would suck unless you have some massive six behind it. |

There is a doable way of doing it, much cheaper than re-engineering something...
Take the box, lump, ECU, the whole dangleberry shebang from a car that has a physically similar sized set to what you have and slam that in there. Sure, it'll need some chopping, welding, cussing, and some creativity... But it wouldn't be any different from doing what someone I know did when he converted his Mitsubishi FTO to 4wd with an Evolution lump and box. How many guys out there have shoehorned something stupid into their 914's? Even I'm looking at a Subaru Karmann Ghia right now as my next project, in the meantime have founda how-to on fitting a 911 box to my bug so that I have 5 gears instead of 4! |
