Originally posted by VegardI’m trying to optimize the Syncro system. What is possible to get out of it?
[/quote]To run relatively safely without to many breakages, I would suggest not more than 140 BHP for the standard Syncro 020 rod change box, or 175 BHP for an 16v uprated Syncro conversion box fitted with a diff bolt kit.
For the standard 02C cablechange box a maximum of 220 BHP, or with an early Rallye ASU code box fitted with a a cast iron transfer box & diff bolt kit 275 BHP.
Other later gearboxes will withstand more power & abuse!
I realise that these figures are on the conservative side considering what power people have put through these boxes and they only express a personal opinion of what I would be happy to run with and are not absolute figures,
but as a general rule of thumb the formula is more power = more breakages, well actually its more torque = more breakages and once you get over 250 BHP you will also start to encounter problems with the rear diff,
Driving style also has a lot to do with how long the drivetrain will last,Chris SModeratorQ) When I do connect up the prop and have the potential for 4WD, do I need to have the vacum line connected or the wiring to the rear diff?
A) yes
For diagrams of the rear diff have a look at photos chris s – technical info – then the last 4 diagrams in there
it shows how the rear diff vacuum etcetera worksChris SModeratorThe freewheel is turned on and works all the time, it is locked out and turned off when you are in reverse so that you have 4wd when going backwards, as you patently do not have 4wd I cant see it making any difference, just make sure the rear diff has oil in it please as even though it is not driving it will still be rotating and will get hot, also do not remove the rear diff mounted control box

Chris SModeratorProbably Haldex as it will handle lots of both, or there is a French V8 in line (not transverse) conversion using (I think) Audi Quattro parts that has to be the ultimate
Chris SModeratorStill not arrived! what about sending it over skype? [] btw i checked the e-mail link above and its good, but gmail wont allow sending of executable files, if that is the case?
Chris SModeratorNothing has arrived yet 2 & 1/2 hours later []
Chris SModeratorNo I didnt
Chris SModeratorYes please, as I like to leave prospective new members waiting for a day, that gives any newly infected computer time to show up in a spam database.
Chris SModeratorNo, only for the google mail account which is syncromeister@gmail.com
Chris SModeratorok then, I will continue []
Chris SModeratorI have a 3 piece prop shaft for sale here in the Netherlands, but it will be a lot cheaper to buy one of Les as the shipping costs will be less and you wont get hit for import duties/taxes
Chris SModeratorIf you like,
but can we not make a new post of membership secretary?
a post whose sole responsibility would be to vet new members, any thoughts? and please dont say ‘well you are doing such a good job at it so why do we need a change etc
re posted from aboveChris SModeratorI just sacked a new member ‘harumaru’ as his favourite links led to a page advertising viagra for sale and also automatically downloaded a couple of pop ups selling unknown anti spyware & virus programs [}]
Chris SModeratorThere is nothing suitable on ebay.de at the moment either []
