Boxster experts: need info re: rear diff gears

What are my options on getting a shorter rear end gear on a 986S? Can I put the 2.7L, or better yet the 2.5L rear gears? Any idea what the gears would cost?

This should be the cheapest go-fast mod and would put me in the same weight-to-torque ratio as a 996 if it's doable. :dance:

If you want to change your gearing why don't you go to the 6 speed tranny.

Or contact this guy and he will either get the gears or make them..

direct your requset to Ken.

I am not affilated with him, he is just a friend.

Good Luck,
Scott

I've already got the 6 speed. Just want a shorter final drive ratio. I'm really surprised that nobody on any of the boards has done it.

If such a thing were available for 2.7L cars I would be very interested...

All the gears are available from PowerHouse in AZ. The 6 speed gearbox is almost identical to the 996 6 speed. I'm not sure they have gears for the 2.5/2.7 box. I also looked into this recently.
