Winter update 4WD Conversion: - Rear syncro subframe is stripped of syncro brackets awaiting haldex conversion. - The choice of Haldex controller is made, https://www.ecumaster.com/products/haldex-controller/ - Haldex conversion parts on its way from Epytec, along with weld in parts for camber adjustment. Engine: - been talking too a lot of friends and tuners about my lag issues, and we are almost sure most of the problem is backpressure and wastegate related, so 3" exhaust and a separate pipe for the wastegate is being made in the same process as the haldex conversion. if space becommes an issue, maybe running 2 x 2,5" pipe in pairs like the G60 syncro can be an solution - charge pipes will also be adressed, increased size and remade in aluminium update with pictures will come when the welding starts
I have converted the vr6 beam to haldex before, it wasn’t to bad to be honest. Make a jig before taking the syncro axle out and get creative with cardboard to make stencils . I can dig out the picture if you need them
keeping the 16vT, im not quite finished with this one i dont have the syncro rear diff so i have nothing to make a jig out of. but i have all the dimensions and mesurments to weld in the conversion plates
yup. but i bought the bare axle without the syncro diff , because im going haldex from start and not going the syncro route first. recived the haldex conversion kit and toe camber adjustments from epytec yesterday, looks like great quality parts just need to fill up with Argon gas and start the big winter project
