911 Euro Carrera 3.0 LS build

[Cobalt964ruf]

i have the 996 adapter kit from kennedy engineering with flywheel, pressure plate, copper rigid clutch, and throw out bearing. i have everything from the rear of a 996 6 speed car. i have the trans, the axles, the rear hubs and hub carriers, the shifter and shift cables. im not saying im transfering all of those components but the trans, the axles, the shifter and shift cables likely will be used. now i need to figure out the rear hubs. the 996 axles are the same size as early 930 stuff and same bolt pattern. hmmm...i have to get to work...

if anyone needs the 915 trans, wevo/revv shifter, the stomski shift coupler, the danmfg 7075 915 upgrade kit, the kennedy 915 to ls adapter/flywheel/pp/kevlar clutch disc, the renegade HD 915 starter, etc... i will be selling those components.

going full coilovers, bilsteins with eibach dual springs. 200/450lbs in the rear, and 200/350lbs in the front. we will see how it rides once completed with these rates.

[Cobalt964ruf]

coilover parts started showing up today... mocking them up on some used bilsteins...

[Queefchief]

Parts are coming in! I'm ready to see this 996 trans go in. I've been wanting to do the same with my car but have just been using the 915 till I feel more confident

[Cobalt964ruf]

lots of choices... my intent... daily driver/wkend warrior, some occasional track/de days, and texas mile runs. 600hp NA 550tq... but want this car and trans to live. i dont really want to cut the car... but in goes the 996 gearbox. g96 CMS build 3.00 ring and pinion, lsd, oil cooler, billet lockout plate, billet side plate, every upgrade we can do... trying to get albins to make a 4th 5th 6th.

Why not just get a shortened 930?

i talked to matt at gaurd and roger at cms. i discussed a 930 box with roger at cms. the cost to buy a 930 box, beef it up, change the gears, built with billet parts etc, is probably around 20k. this is a fun toy/car not a dedicated race car. UPDATE; now a g96 custom box

[Cobalt964ruf]

while i dont have a budget limit per say... and could spend 20g i dont actually want to lol.

[Yan2947]

No affiliation but I see this in the market place. Probably shortened at CMS. Just no LSD...

thank you yan2947

[Cobalt964ruf]

ok, after a serious discussion. the g96 6 speed transaxle; GT2 oriented, new Albins 3.00 ring and pinion, possibly new Albins 4-6th gears with syncros, new porsche bearings, new gt limited slip, new patrick motorsports cooler system, new cms billet side cover, and any other parts from porsche inside the gearbox we would need... CMS axles, Numeric racing shift cables, and my 996 transaxle mount for a g body.... estimate $16500. 6th gear would be a 248mph gear at 6000rpm with a 25.6" tire. possible Texas Mile speed runs... etc. im liking this option. but unfortunately i have to cut the car.

[Cobalt964ruf]

its been a hard choice... but, if anyone needs the 915 trans, wevo/revv shifter, the stomski shift coupler, the danmfg 7075 915 upgrade kit, the kennedy 915 to ls adapter/flywheel/pp/kevlar clutch disc, the renegade HD 915 starter, etc... i will be selling those components.

How much do you have to cut your car to put the g96 transmission in? what actually gets cut?

yan you have the cut about 6" out of the center of the torque tube, and about 8" out of the rear seat section. essentially you ruin the car.
