syncro tolerance

[hackinen]

hi,
i’m new here and i found too many
valuable informations from members.
recently i gained a mk2 syncro
and i started rebuilding the car.
i determine add a 16vT engine and i need some info about
NON haldex differentials and transmission.
how “power” can withstand if i rebuild old stuff from car ?
i count about 450~500hp from engine & i hope it’s enough
to run car reliability.
i think use a 6 gear transmission from audi A6 quattro or
a 5 gear long from diesel tdi.
thnx in advance for any help.

you cannot use an A6 transmission not unless you got a car with a torsen setup

you need to use either the stock syncro, or the O2C syncro setup (passat syncro, rallye, golf 3 2.0 syncro etc)

vr6 can be used if you replace the bellhousing

you can go the haldex route, using (preferable the Gen1 haldex) this is from MK IV R32 (need to replace the bellhousing)
Golf MK IV TDI 4motion, or skoda/seat with the same setup

thnx ,for your fast reply & good informations.
i have a A6 quattro & i thinking if i can use part of them with good transmission ratios for 1/4 mile (400m) and hope make time’s under 10 sec. []

Before you start thinking about putting 450/500 bhp through a Syncro system (even an O2C) I suggest you read this

with my diesel transmission run well without problems.

Its the transfer box that is the weak link

[hackinen]

you think the best solution is the convert from my quattro A6
all the transfer box (with transmission) to syncro body ?
think (but i’m not sure 100%) the rallye g60
have the same transfer box with syncro golf but different transmission ratio.

it will take a new front subframe from scratch and you`ll need the A6 rear diff for it to work. Which means converting the rear as well to audi torsen,

[hackinen]

many thanks all for yours help
i guess he waiting hard work and calculation for converting.
next week i start with disassembled two cars.
i take all constructive photos for future conversions.
best regards
