If ya find a good deal let me know baz, almost at the point where I'll be buying one as well

RPW has the best price I've seen too

 

[bazeng]

What are they stocking?

 

[BYBY5L]

Quaife atb, last time I checked the new stock was on order

 

[BMGTZ]

I have some leads with wavetrac direct if you can give me a gearbox code I can ask for a price

 

[BYBY5L]

W4A33 is what Im getting it for and guessing F4A33 for Barry but presuming they'd be the same

 

[bazeng]

Yup. F4a33 please.

 

[bazeng]

Any update anybody?

 

[BYBY5L]

RPW is $1750 obvioysly + or - a bit,
Freight is the big killer as quaife only send via a certain courier, obviously buying multiple will drop freight slightly
If anyone has a pommy connection, that will probably save a bit if we can go via them... would have to be massively trust worthy

Hi Aldo,

Without searching, do you know if awd and fwd's are the same front diff PN?

 

[Rockabilly]

Hi Aldo,

FWD uses bigger shafts. 27 spline instead of 25 spline from memory. I think you will find that your magna box also has the big diff. This could add some difficulty to your conversion. You may be better off using the small diff that Aldo suggested. However, the big diff would be a nice upgrade if you can get away with it.

Ill see if the VR4 cups fit in the magns box. Fingers crossed

 

[Mr Gears]

FWD Driveshafts will need to handle double the torque compared to the AWD. It makes sense that they need to be bigger.

 

[bazeng]

You are right. The front splines into the Magna diff is bigger. Hopefully I can make it adapt. Or maybe Magna shafts will fit as a full replacement.

The hubs are what I use for my 5stud conversion. So outers match.

 

[Mr Gears]

Its the jack-shaft that is going to be the problem. The Magna one might not fit your block and the Eclipse one might not have the right offset for FWD Auto.

I just did some reading on dsmtalk. The option I have is to purchase a front diff with the smaller splines (quaife). If I can find a solution for this locally them I might have to bite the bullet and get a front diff. I'm just hoping the box fits in the engine bay!
