The upgrade should support 450-500 hp/torque at the wheels, well beyond my goal of 450/450 at the crank. The upgrade involves a PTS Kit and Torque Converter and shouldn't cost more than $2000 for parts. This is for a Tip. The problem is Pat was using the wrong tranny spec as a basis for this, but still thinks he can do it with our tranny. He will get back to me with this info.

If you are in NJ, email me and we can hook up... I was told the entire cost was somehwere in the neighborhood of $6000-$7000, including labor. I was also told the benfits would be that the tranny could handle 300% factory max rated torque at the crank.

Which tranny were they using as spec?

Thanks!

so Level 10 will probably never see my car. I would have the parts shipped out here for installation. $6000-7000 sounds like a complete transmission replacement, Pat was hinting at an upgrade only, not a replacement. I believe he was thinking I had a ZF 19?, and I think it is a ZF 24A, but I'm not positive.

Replacing the tranny could result in that increase, while the upgrade would only double it (for half the money including parts and labor).

Would it fit? Or would a beefed up version of our ZF Tip be cheaper?

I'd think that's a no go if you want to maintain quattro

Bummer. The 911TT has AWD, but it isn't Quattro as we know it.

a while ago too, since a couple of the ZF trannies are similar in designation, but some are 2wd, some awd, and the hp/tq specs were different.

I sent him info on ZF 5 HP 24 A.
