Engine Rotation / Boxster Tranny
Greetings: Looking for some info from the "experts" whomever of you that may be. Since the boxster is a Mid-Engine water cooled it was suggested that I should consider a Boxster Tranny for my 914 project car. I am considering the use of Only the Tranny, and as such trying to clarify some items. My questions: 1/ Does Boxster engine rotate clockwise or counter clockwise? (someone mentioned that it may be different from other late model Porsche's 2/ Is the Boxster tranny that much stronger or beefier than an aluminum 915 tranny. 3/ What kind of Top Speed can one expect from a Five speed Boxster at say 6,000 RPM with standard gearing and tires 4/ Anyone know if it could handle 350lbs torgue and 350 HP for an engine conversion into a 914. Thanks for your replies and appreciate your good comments Merry CHRISTmas. Allan |

Allan,
Read this thread Tranny swap Check with Kennedy Engineering Products if they have an adapter and clutches Check the boxster forums for specs and problems. There are more "experts" there. There is a member converting to Boxter drivetrain but the mods to the engine bay will be extensive. QUOTE 4/ Anyone know if it could handle 350lbs torgue and 350 HP for an engine conversion into a 914. Some people have successfully done put this torque with stock 901/914 trannys with respect for the clutch but the 930 makes more sense. The boxster tranny should be stronger than the 901. Why do you like the Boxster tranny? Welcome to 914world.com and conversions Felix |
