Jason has one (not installed yet) for his Boxster conversion so of course I had to have one. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Just want to know if this is another ground breaking project or if someone can pass on their experience...

we have installed them in older 911s, so the install in a 914 should be pretty straight forward. Might have to modify the hardline you will have to run down the tunnel though

Wow, I'm really surprised at how much that looks like a regular 914 pedal cluster. Looks like a winner for a hyro clutch conversion. And it should work with any Boxster blingbling pedal covers.

Felix,
This is old news, I picked up a 964 unit a couple years ago from the Hershey swapmeet for about $50.00. I thought at the time,it could be made to work. When i got it home,I grafted the clutch master-cylinder end onto a 914 cluster body. i had to make a new clutch actuation rod,and re-pin it to the pedal. It works great. The only downside I've seen is 1.It was a bitch to initially bleed,and get all the air out of the line. 2.The pedal doesn't come fully back.There's about 1/2" of pedal it starts to engage.I'll probably end up with some kind of return spring. Other than that,it works and has a really good feel to it. Ron Attached image(s) |

Thanks Ron, nice to know it will work...
I got my in the Bay for $122 and felt is was a good price as I've been looking for one for awhile. Jason is the king of deals, he paid less than $40 for his from a C2. Mine is from a '97 993 and has some differences from yours. Essentially they are the same... Attached image(s) |

Been there. Done that...
Not personally, but my 914. Boxster S transmission installed by pros. Including hydraulic pedal cluster. (IMG:http://www.abc-digital-art.com/Porsche/images/11-2005.jpg) Zillion headaches slowly overcome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Now car is great.

Great job on likely being the first to use Boxster transaxle. Can you post more pics? |

Thanks Ron, nice to know it will work... Mine is from a '97 993 and has some differences from yours. Essentially they are the same... Comparing with Jasons completed 964/914 assembly I found the 993 hydro clutch will be very difficult or fab intensive to combine with the 914 brake section. We are still not sure the master will drive the Boxster slave cylinder either. -The 993 brake pedal section is narrower than the 914 thus the clutch pedal shaft is shorter -The clutch pedal shaft has a serrated end and clutch cyl. arm, nice for pedal angle adjustment -The brake pedal tube are different diameters so I cannot use the 993 pedal shaft in the 914 brake pedal tube. I am either in the market for a 964 pedal assembly to use the 914 brakes or an aftermarket like Tilton... Attached image(s) |

Hmmmmm..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
Felix, how about a work day on Saturday, Dec 2? I'd like to take another look at the assembly. I have some new thoughts. I'd hate to drive down 1.5 hours to look at the pedals for 20 minutes. So maybe we can get some people to help do some work on the car as well. |
