Right can i use a golf/jetta awd system with a tuned g60 or do i need the rallye bits?

Will the "standard" syncro stuff just fall apart?

pretty sure you need the floorpan :wink:

You can use standard golf syncro bits with a tuned g60 lump, that would be fine. The syncro rear axle is the same as the rallye.

 

A mate of mine has run the golf syncro bits on his mk2 for about 1 year now with 350bhp and he has had no problems apart from the gearbox is on its way out, but then the rallye/passat g60 ones are crap as well. I'm going to have a spare gearbox in the garage at home, just in case.

 

If you need to read up on what you can or can't do have a look at http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk - best place to research into it - thats what I did before I did my conversion.

Was that a UK based Syncro or a Euro G60 Syncro Ben? Im 100% sure that the UK based Syncros diffs will explode with

anything over 115 BHP. Thats why my brother just sold the Syncro we bought.

Sorry that was a European setup..forgot to mention that bit :oops:

020 syncro box is the weak point, you need an 02A one really.

 

Still haven't got round to starting my VR6 syncro setup....

so if i got a 02A syncro box and kept the standard syncro diff i should be ok?

[PhatVR6 0]

yes.

 

well, the transfer box and the diff need to be matched.

 

the rallye one is a different ratio to the Vr6 syncro one, but I think the golf syncro one is just the same as a rallye on.

syncro one is the same as the rallye...
