Good luck at what ever you decide. |
And if you flip the ring gear and use a normal rotation motor, the side thrust of the crown wheel is then taken by the opposite side diff bearing, which in a 930 is smaller and there is also the question of whether the case on that side is strong enough not to flex. That side was not designed to take any side loads and it's not possible to easily beef it up as in the case of a billet side plate with the normal setup. It is generally acknowledged the billet side plate is the first step in beefing up a 930 to take V8 torque.
There again torque transferred into the tranny will be limited by your wheel grip. You still haven't told us what wheels and tyres you are running!
There's only one solution that sees the loads in the transaxle transferred in the direction it was designed to cope with. Anything else will compromise transaxle strength. But if you're only running skinny tyres it wont matter. IMHO.
As Jim said, good luck with whatever you decide
