bought a G50, now what...?

[tom'72]

Just bought a G50/00 "shortnose" gearbox to mate with a JDM EJ20TT.

I already have the Kennedy adapter plate so that will be re usable if I'm not mistaken.

But I need to figure out a lot of stuff, like:

1:Can I simply use CV joints from the same model Porsche as the G50?

2: Do the G50 axles need to be modified and in what way (I'm using stock type 1 trailing arms)

3: Any ideas on what clutch/flywheel I can use? (I have the Kennedy flywheel that's on my IRS pro street->EJ20TT setup now, maybe this is re useable?)

This is the best plasce to ask tech stuff like this so lets hear it guys :)

The G50 uses 930 size CV joints and they are a fairly common fitment for sand cars.

G50 axles will be too long, one option is to use carrera 4 front output flanges as they are type 2 size CVs, you can then use stock 944 axles/CVs

Kennedy can do you a new flywheel to suit Porsche clutch, or you can copy what Wally did with the shortened bellhousing, main problem then is the ring gear on the flywheel is a smaller diameter.

Welcome to the club ;)

Hi

You could get your stub axles on your trialing arms altered to take the bigger CVs and then use Sway away axles.

I bought all my stuff from KEP for my EJ20T.

I had my 944 stubs changes to larger 930 CV size

You already got my PB on keversite Tom, so combined with the above, you now know it all ;)

Thanks for the input guys, really appreciate it.

Picked up the box today and discovered something. I knew it had been mashined on the inside of the bellhousing to be mated to a Porsche 3.6 but it seems the bellhousing and the axle have also been mashined just like Wally did.

This is on one side a good thing ( shorter means easier installation) but on the other side it I can't just order a KEP flywheel and install it like it is now. Will have to mail the people at KEP and see if they can help me out on this.
