Hello,
Sorry guys but im an intruder on your site. I own a 1970 VW Dune buggy that im currently building/restoring. I bought a Rotary 13B-RE (rare Japan only out of a Mazda Cosmo) Twin turbo motor with guestimated hp output from 350-450 after im done with it and I am shopping around for different transmission options. allot of us VW guys have gone with Porsche 914 and other Porsche trannys but I figured if I wanted real 914 tranny info I better go to the guys that really know them the best. So im sorry for invading your forum with these questions but it’s really a complement. I wanted to know if you guys knew the limits on the 914 tranny? What is the max HP they can take? I read that they can handle 300HP stock but??? I also read that some people with built motors were busting the first gears/ and that the first gear wasn’t even used with the v-8 conversion because of the torque characteristics??? How reliable have they been for you guys with big HP?? and my last question is, if its true that the stock 914 tranny can only handle 300HP and im going to have more than that, does anyone know what it takes and how much it costs to open one up/beef it up? Thanks for your patience and help. Brad. |
