for those that thought this was a good swap - its basically an audi transaxle mounted at the back , and still has a big bellhousing fitted .

I don't recall the 924 box specifically being suggested as a swap? I thought it was a transaxle from one of the more powerful Porsches.. 928?

The Porche 924 axle won't give any great benifits its very weak. A Porche 928 or Alfa 75 one would be better.

Or you could run a g50 from a 911 upside down. or any number of audi, alfa or renault transaxles if they're physically small enough to fit under the boot floor.

You're looking at £2-3k for a 911 transaxle though, and they're stupendously long geared. The renaullt transaxles are great as you can easily flip em upsidedown, however they're expensive. The alfa transaxle is cheaper, and I know of a guy running a 320bhp rover v8 + 280hp nitrous through one and its never gone bang.

Car hobby is not cheap!
Long gears are great for turbo cars.. If the revs dont drop below the power area?

The alfa has a rear clutch .

as does the 928 IIRC , renault or porsche 911 , diff turned upside down would be my choice .

Where's the clutch on a 944? I'm sure the turbo version ran meaty mechanicals out the back which would be easily enough for our needs
