Guys,
In response to another thread about subarus, someone posted a link about a shop in AZ that is making an adapter plate kit to bolt up a boxster transmission to a Subaru motor. Wondering if he sold a kit, or just did all the work, I reached out to him. He does in fact sell a kit which requires milling out some of the bell housing, but then you can mount a starter. Assuming much of the flywheel and clutch would not work, this might be a good place to start for someone who races, wants a more modern transmission, a cable shifter, and would like to remain all Porsche.... Naro... Link to site for pricing etc. http://www.boxsterengineconversion.com/par...ith-prices.html Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

This could be real interesting, but I wonder if it wouldn't be easier at the end of the day to just find a way to cram the Boxster motor in there WITH the trans that it's already mated to.
If you are mounting a Subaru motor to it, you're saving weight and with the right mods, getting (about) the same HP. The Subie trans when converted to 2WD is pretty solid, and there are a lot more/easier mods/parts for the setup. I'm glad to see people engineering other ways around this, but I am still happy with the path I took on using the Subie motor/trans. |
