I know there may not be a lot of people on here who will be interested in this for their car, but it will be nice to have more options for people who want more power, and a modern shifting mid-engine transaxle. These pictures are of a 6 speed version, but the 5 speed will use the same adapter plate and flywheel.

Hey are you making this adaptor? I am VERY interested. I just took a good look at the boxster cable shifter setup at 20th Street porsche junkyard here in Phoenix. It is a real nice light setup and cables are pretty long stock. I can get the whole setup shifter and all the cables, plus the rear brackets that bolt to the transmission for $150.
I bet this would be a perfect fit for my subie 6. So i have a few questions. 1. clutch, how is this setup? 2. flywheel\pressure plate setup, are you making it? 3. how soon till you get this setup done? 4. Which transmission the 5 or the six speed is better, are they both computer controlled?? thanks man, very interested!! Oh hey !! I just saw I live right next door to you in Chandler.....Would love to come and see your setup. |

Clutch will be stock style Boxster pieces Flywheel will be completely custom Should hopefully have the test car running and testing by the end of the summer 6 speed is stronger than the 5 speed but slightly heavier and more expensive. Both use the same adapter plate, clutch and flywheel. Neither are computer controled. I am making the complete adapter kit and conversion kit myself. As you already know, the same adapter plate will work for the EJ, EG, and EZ Subaru motors. |

If the price is right, I'll be your first buyer for the Complete kit so i can just buy the transmission and bolt that baby in!! If you need a test subject, my 914 subie 6 is up and screaming around already. I'd be glad to put that adaptor kit through its paces. I am sure the gear ratios will bring my rpms down quite a but while cruising at 75mph. |
