Boxster Transmission into 914? Options

[roamer]

Ok Guys-

I have searched around the board for some time as I begin formulating my plan for an STI swap into a 914. One of my primary concerns is the transmission. The 901 will not withstand my power goals (~450hp), nor will a 915. A 4-speed 930 transmission is inappropriate for the subie powerband. I know that a G50/xx will work, but what about the transmission from the boxster? It is my understanding that the torque capacity of these transmissions are equivalent to the G50 and it seems to me that it would be a better solution since it was designed for a mid-engined car.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Thanks Guys!

4 speeds will be tough to match to the somewhat limited powerband of the 2.5t, so the 930 tranny is out (the stock is a close-ratio 6-speed). It also sounds like it is more work than it is worth to make it work in the 914.

It also sounds like the boxster and 951 trannies are out as well.

Besides renegade, does anyone else modify the housings of G50's to fit into the 914? (I like their products and will probably use many of their components, but some seem overpriced) KEP makes the mounting adapters, but does not appear to modify the transmissions from what I can tell.

Also, who would you recommend as a source of used/rebuilt transmissions and other used parts?

Thanks again.
