I want to run a 931 snailshell on my S2 3L. 16V project. How do the ratio's compare between the Audi Type AOS gearbox and the 931 snailshell, and what would be the likely pros & cons?

All of the gearing ratios are available for download here:

About halfway down the left column is the link to the spreadsheet Applebit put together some time ago.

How are you intending on using the S2 3L 16V car???

Cheers for that Dan and Applebit of course...

Its really just a test car if that makes sense. I've just completed what will be a daily driver, basically a 86 944 with 86 951 running gear and S2 drive-train. This "new" project is based around another 86 944 shell with 931 engine mounts welded in and is a rare late model sunroof delete version...so I want to do some forced induction

I havn't ruled out a 931 engine platform entirely, but theres a M44/41 currently hiding in the engine bay (as much for storage as anything else) plus I have a good snailshell, TT and suspension beam gathering dust.

I would think the G31 would be a good match for a car that will be driven with spirit. If it were strictly a street car, it might be a bit short of the power of the 3L, but for your purposes it would probably be just fine...note that a lot of the guys tracking 951s prefer the shorter gear ratio Audi box, and I think the G31 compares pretty favorably to that...
