I am mating a Porsche G50/52 from 1991 Porsche Turbo to a fairly powerful 351W in a DRB.
I currently intend to use the adaptor plate and modified flywheel to be supplied by DRB.
The usual arrangement is to then use the clutch plate, pressure plate, ring gear (a separate item, not attached to the flywheel on the Porsches) and release bearing (throw out bearing) from a 1989 Porsche Turbo, along with machining or grinding out of the bellhousing to fit the deeper placed ring gear of the earlier cars.
A suitable double reduction starter motor (Tilton?) is then attached.
I already have a complete clutch and flywheel assembly for 1991 turbo (this has the ring gear as part of the flywheel) but can't find out if I can use any of it.
So I am currently looking for the 1989 clutch plate, pressure plate, ring gear, release bearing and starter motor.
I have the Porsche part numbers of the 1989 parts I need which are
Clutch plate 93011601402
Pressure plate 95011602350
Ring gear 95011614301
Release bearing 95011608008
But I don’t have the part number for the starter motor yet.
Prefer new parts. Centreforce or other upgrades considered.
This adaptation method is also used frequently by people building Ultimas (but they use Chevy engines)
Anyone have these parts available, or alternatives, or can suggest who has? I know Pelican, Patrick, Kennedy and Renegade can supply but are there sensible prices available in UK?
If I definitely can't use the 1991 parts they will appear for sale in due course.
Thanks
