thanks for the reply Jim, you know the web.. full of missinformation, i dont remember where i read about the mag case, it was a long day of reading many websites...

its actuall going to be in a notchback (dream car from the first time i layed eyes many many years ago) and from the start i was pretty much counting on dumping the stock frame horns and doing some seroius amputation of the torsion housing, im planning coil-overs so it should be no bigger a deal than anything else lol

could you recommend any one g50(g64) over another? /01 /02 /05 from reading the 05 is said to be the better of the bunch.. but ill refer to the top line of this reply

any thoughts on the Getrag 6?

Thanks
Mike

Hello Mike,

So you may have read that the first 915s has a mag case and later alluminium.I can recommend you some but what engine do you plan ?
Displacement ? N/A or TBO ?

Rgds,
Jim

its either going to be a (2.0l) suby ej20t or the twin turbo version(much research has yet to be done on that topic), for sure a turbo, ill be shooting for the 350-400hp range. A turbo ecotec (2.2l) isnt out of the question either.

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Well, I suggest you to find a "short" bellhousing G50/00 , G50/01
If you can't find one the you can find more easily one from a 1990 C2 G50/03 who has also a ZF lsd 40%.
Check classfieds at : www.pelicanbbs.com www.rennlist.com www.ebay.com
Six speeders are very long.

good luck

Why not try a 915 from a 930? Strong and much easier to fit in.

well im kinda set on a 6 speed right now plus i have never really done things the easy way lol

even if i do a 5 speed i dont see wasting time doing all the work and money to put a 915 in it just to turn around and put a g50 in when im not happy with 915 or i eat it up

Thanks Mike!
Whatever you want about these just ask!

Adrian,

All early 930 are 4 speed.Later ones G50/50 (965) are 4$k and up....
Also early ones have mechanical clutch.
So it is extremely expensive box and is usually "hard" used.
G-50s are readily available with a price range from 1500 to 3500
If you dealing with a 911 TBO part is more hard to locate and much much more expensive.

Rgds to all,
Jim
