Just some SoCal Kudos for taking the fight with the H2O pumpers on the track to the next level.

I do believe Tuthill Porsche has built an aircooled rally car or two with a sequential. Might be worth looking them up and reaching out

The ricardo sequential from a 991/1 cup is very compact ( and very good) I have a few and looking
at them next to a 915 they are very similar sized much smaller (and better) then the g50/holinger
unit from a 997 cup
It would be a complicated and expensive installation but it's a great trans
Matt are you making gears yet?

Following. ...at the rate I have my racing 915 rebuilt this might be a less expensive option!

Put a 6 speed out of a water cooled 911 in it. You get a way better transmission, hydraulic clutch and a cable shifter.

I had 2 G50-01 race gearboxes, with cooling plumbing and short geared .... sold them thinking the 915 would be OK.....

I do not think any of the 6 speeds from a water cooled car will fit without extensive structural work... but the hydraulics and cables are mighty tempting at this point......

Everytime i vent To Dan Jacobs ( Hairy Dog Garage, CT) about the 915s he tells me in his oh so gentle manner; GET RID OF THOSE FOCKING THINGS!!

I have a 914 with a 964 motor and a g86-21 transmission from a 2006 Cayman S in it.

The transmission handles the power from the 4.0L 964 motor with no issues, and it shifts great.

I don't know how hard it would be to put one in a 911, but nothing is impossible.

Those big G50 race gearboxes are great except that they are much less efficient than a 915.

I get a full season out of my 915 and that is with ~430 HP 3.6L bolted to it. What are you doing to your box?
