skoda haldex

[crazyfarmer]

hi peps
after many hours of searching i’m still none the wiser,so it’s question time

basically i’m fitting haldex to my syncro converted g2 , i am using a 5 speed box been told looks like an o2a dereived box and skoda elegance rear diff i have been told that i don’t need to shorten any drive shaft or propshatfs is this true? so to put it simpler fit rear diff and gear box and bolt all shafts straight on ?
if this isn’t the case then would anyone give me an insite on exactly what mods need to be done with the shafts

also i am looking to be running hopefully up to 550bhp and about 400-450lb/ft will the above set up take the power ? i’m not intrested in dragging it just trackdays and street use

thanks in advance

ok i may push my luck power wise but you have broken yours on a drag strip when you go from nothing to everything , did you ever sleeve the transfer case as i do know a man who is amazing with machiinig and tigging ? you seem like you have not had much luck with haldex?

how about the shafts?

What is it with all these flatland farmer boys wanting to break all our precious syncro gear?
go on Nutter4x4 steer him straight to haldex from the get go or better still use some 4×4 tractor gear, that should hold 500bhp!
Good luck with your quest crazyfarmer, you’re gonna need it

cheers Mike

1st one i broke on a gravel drive way so it had plenty of slip, personally i`d go straight to 02m now, i should have done it ages ago, it`s not hard to convert over just needs the brackets for 02m to the mk2 subframe, got mine from C2UK motorsport

[crazyfarmer]

i would prefere not to go with the o2m because of the shere weight of the box and personally i can’t stand any 6 speed gearbox , i allready have the skoda haldex sitting around a mates house with a 02m out of a tt
i’d like to stay with the idea of the skoda but only as long as i do not need to shortn any shafts if the case is that i will need to get custom shafts then i will use an 02m
are all haldex diffs compatable with the 17/27 ratio transfere box

cheers

[nutter4x4]

maybe a little heavy just turn up the boost, lol

all haldex are compatible 17/27

[crazyfarmer]

right ok i have had a little think about it i am going to use a 5 speed for definate and try and find a solution for the obviously weaker transfere casing, i have found a gearbox on ebay at moment which i beleive is one of your friends nutter

so what i will do is use the vr6 box with a 4cyl bellhousing with a peloquin front diff this should be really well geared for my 16vt hopefully ,using a skoda/a3 transfere boxwith the transfere box i am going to look along the lines of getting my mate to CADand CNC a new stronger casing or as mentioned on a presvious topic sleving it with ally

as for shafts am i right in thinking that i am not going to shorten any of them? just fit 4 motion innrer c.v joints for extra strength

controlling it i am going to use a manual controller from sqs

does this sound like it should work nutter4x4

cheers

[nutter4x4]

sounds about right to me,

don`t suppose its my ole friend marky with the box on ebay ? he`s also got a tdi bora 4wd box too for 4mo

[crazyfarmer]

sorry for wasting peps time
been in conact with wilco Dutch build and he is convinced me to go 6speed he is going to supply me with all the parts i just need to find a mk3 vr6 suspension and bed set up so i can use wide track

thanks for all your advise nutter4x4 its been a great help, what are you running power wise with your 02m , and is it a 02m six speed from a early TT

cheers

Time spent on here is never wasted! []

[nutter4x4]

Nope r32 hybrid 02m lol nothing simple as usual, power depending on boost0.9bar 355bhp or 1.2bar 465bhp, if it can get traction on the rollers it should be more
