At the risk of sidetracking this whole thread, is that so? I drove a bone stock 930 once, and it was dead until the boost came on (and then man!). The 3.6 is instant, endless power from like 2000 RPM...Modern turbos and fuel delivery changing the game?

As others have mentioned, even when built, a 915 does not stand a chance against a 930 engine (this has been proven time and again by many people that have tried to use them). And the people that do make them "sort of" last, say that they do so by absolutely babying the throttle. |
In the interest of actually contributing to this thread, here's a pretty good read on the 915 with more power:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-930-turbo-super-charging-forum/833762-915-trans-400-hp-turbo-motor.html TL;DR - If you don't drag race, the 915 will be fine up to about 300hp. |

My gear width picture on pg 2 of the linked thread tells the real story. It's not about shifters or bearing plates or even ring and pinions. It's gear size.

Don't forget the oil tank, it has an extra fitting for the scavenge pump line

I kind of liked the "keep the original" 915 post. Made sense except for not being able to use the engine's power except for over 50 mph in a straight line. It sounds plausible but you are handcuffed. |

My little 275 HP SC hasn't killed the 915 transaxle yet. I do have to yank it pretty hard into 2nd, however.

So I do have something to add. I did in the 930 forum but somehow no one looked there.
Anyway, you'll need I'm doing it now as well. For sure the axles are not the same, the length of the trans will probably cause some interference at the tunnel area, and the trans support mount is not going to line up among other things. Clutch cable, shifter etc.. It's doable but not today my friend. You need carrera axles from 86-89, a 930 clutch cable I believe, 930 shifter, and then you need to molest the trans support for it to line up. Once it lines up you most likely will be hitting the torsion tube with the front of the transmission. Keep us posted please good luck. |

Btw the 915 is a hoot with the 930 engine. It blasts to 160 so fast you'll be shocked. But. You'll worry about the lower gears all the time and if you look at me you'll unserstand. I got no more hair. It's all because of that 915 gearbox. And I've been through two of them. They really don't like the torque of the 930 gearbox. I used stock boost too. Even if your at or under 300hp the torque on this engine is more than that. Realistically it's more like 325-350lbft. That's a lot.
This is why I'm going 930. And then my limits won't be 915 gearboxes. It will be fuel but I won't run into any limits till around 400hp so sit n think on that for a minute. With the 930 gearbox you can do that. It's just a twist away from more power with these cars. I've been in a 3.6 equipped 911sc and it doesn't hold a candle. Turbo power is king!!! Flame on. |
