Mike de Malmanche built his Porsche 914 into a track monster with help from his friends and family in New Zealand. The car is powered by a turbocharged LS1 V8 making 520 horsepower and 527 lb-ft of torque to the wheels on 7 psi of boost from a BorgWarner S475 turbocharger and Link G4+ Xtreme ECU. The V8 uses a custom adapter plate to mate to a 2004-2007 Subaru STI six-speed transmission with a Torsen LSD and 3.90 gears. The 914 rides on adjustable coilovers and Nissan Silvia front hubs with Wilwood rotors and 4-piston calipers, and WRX rear hubs with Subaru 4-piston brakes. The widebody uses a modified GT1 front and custom rear fenders, hood, and roof.

Hi Lee. We do not know the mods used on this transmission. We recommend contacting Subarugears to inquire about their adapters and RWD transmission conversions.
