Looking for some good info please...
I just purchased a GTR from Ted. Now the fun part, wait 4 months for the kit to be shipped over the pond. That gives plenty of time to determine my trany and engine configuration.
Being in the states there are a number of Porsche parts shops. The ability to acquire a g50 or 50/50 with or without LSD is quite easy and not to expensive. Plus it’s easy to negotiate these days.
I will probably get a 425hp to 475hp engine and do more street than track with the GTR. I haven’t decided on carb or injection. I do want to have the least amount of failures and remain within a reasonable cost for the trany. I do like the idea of a six speed with close gear ratios.
So, based on the assumptions, is a 50/50 5 speed (then mod the gears) the way to go or would it be better to get a 993 6 speed and mod the gears.
Which trany is stronger?
I’ve seen people spend $8k to $12k USD for the finished g50 trany. At this price is it better to go with a getrag? What performance mods are required for the getrag? What is the average cost for those mods.
Is the 50/50 stronger than the getrag?
