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) |

I'm running an 11lb VW/Audi lightened flywheel with a SPEC Stage 3 clutch. It works with both my Boxster 5 & 6 speed trannys. I also run the cheap ($) VW slave cylinder instead of the expensive ($$$) Porsche unit that is exactly the same except the hydraulic fitting. 034 Motorsport sells fitting adapters with a plug and play -3AN end. It makes it easy to install with a Wilwood or Howe type master cylinder.
Here is a pic of a 901 and Boxster 5 speed with the axles lined up. The center line distance from the axle center to the edge of the bell housing is shorter on the Boxster. A 1" adapter would put the tranny in better alignment with the engine in stock location. With the axles lined up, the end of the tranny is in about the same place. |
