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)

Well....I have news and bad news. (I won't say good news because its not really good)
the news is that I was able to contact Powertech - the guys that did the Boxster S trans conversion for Alan. I spoke to owner Keith Peare - long time 914 racer (now racing spec boxsters) The bad news is..it was A LOT of work...like tons of work. Everything was custom, and they said they would NEVER do it again. The had to cut off much of the bell housing of the boxster trans, design a new adapter bolt pattern plate with hole for the starter and have it CNC fabricated, then welded back onto the trans, design in the hydraulic clutch system, fabricate the cradle/mounting system to hold the trans in place, etc. etc. etc.... (and more etc's...) nearly 200 hours worth of work that they only billed for less than half... Plus, the Box S trans is MUCH heavier/bigger and sits back too far, so adjustments need to be made for that or you end up with a 911 weight distribution... Hmm...not sure where to go now... |
