Now we have mount in Audi 1,8T engine and Porsche 996 gearbox.
We shall now install new bigger engine in our TriStar.
But it would not be soo funny to do that with original gearbox.
Not the best qualite and not easy to change gear fast either.
But the is not many gearboxes that "fit " into an T3
Renault have one but very rare to find.
Old Porsche 915 gearboxes are there many but they are to old now.
Porsche G50 that Eric is nice but little to tall.
Soo we drive to an guy we know near us that have Porsche shop
and told him what we have for planes.
Then he show us this Gearbox 96/01 from an Porsche 996 -05.
All dimentions are smaller then original and it have 6 gears and have cable linkage too gear level.
Can it be better. Yes it could because this was not cheap
But it´s only money.
But now to the best. The engine we shall install is from Audi 1,8 Turbo -03 and it allmost fit on the gearbox.
Only some small change have to be done.
Audi and Porsche have many parts that is same and when porsche built new engine to this 996 they built Porsche boxer to test this new engine on. And in Porche Boxer they use gearbox from audi soo thats why this audi engine allmost fit on Porsche gearbox.
Half of all bolt hole was in right place.
Soo we only have to cut some aluminium peices from an audi gearbox and cut them into the Porsche gearbox and weld it together.
Easy? Not really it tog 2day to do it.
Lot of job to fit all 5 pieces on right place.
The start engine is mouth on gearbox on Audi and on Porsche it on the engine.
Soo there was no place to mounth the start engine.
We could push the car every time we shall drive it but in winter time it could be tough.
Our solution was to take the piece from audi gearbox and weld it into the Porsche gearbox to soo now we have an start engine to.
Here is some pictures the show how we did.
