Russleh Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 when im, doin my engine conversion will i need to swap the shafts aswell ? NOTE: i already have the bigger brakes on my n/aRussell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 yes i really would have thought son/a driveshafts only have to cope with 100bhp tops with a heavily tuned n/awhereas a glanzas 132 bhp or smmotz like that standard so i would have thought theyd be stronger and more able to cope with higher bhp and torquei might be wrong though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think your NA ones will be ok. I'd personally use them and see how long they last.If your going for the turbo shafts later then you might need to change your hubs as well, I think the centre hole where the shaft goes is wider.

Steve GT Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 there you go you keep learning lolim not much help with n/a questions as I've never had one lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 thats what i ment with bigger brakes. already has the gt hubs on it because i think you need them for the brakes to fit. but if not i can always change. its just because i burst one of the cv boots on the turbo one ;). once i get started out ill make a rough comparison and prob just try keep them.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 just to let you know the hubs will have to match the spline count. they will fit straight into the gearbox cups though as they all share the same cup size apary from the oem lsd box as far as i know.

RobSR Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 just to let you know the hubs will have to match the spline count. they will fit straight into the gearbox cups though as they all share the same cup size apary from the oem lsd box as far as i know.the inner cups on the na box are smaller so you will need turbo ones if using turbo shafts. I have mk3 GT shafts in mine and the outer cv were the same spline count as the non turbo. At the moment if I were you I'd use the na shafts. They are about 1mm thinner and that's about it. The only reason i used gt ones is because i had them hanging around ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 cool. well if i can be bothered ill do the cv boot on the turbo shaft but if not then ill see how well the na ones cope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 gives me some confidence so if all the splines are the same im sorted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
