Radodb 4 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Alright lads, my plan is to convert my VRT from fwd to 4wd so far unsure if I'm going to do it to a mk3 or mk2 Jetta but I don't won't to use the heldex system as I won't a full and constant 4wd, so I'm planning on using a BMW e36 m3 subframe and LSD with a custom prop. My question is can the transfer box handle being 4wd all the time? What would be the best box to use 02m? I will be getting a lsd up front too so the box needs to have them available to buy Thanks lads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 You would think it could handle it, ad there's plenty of people running different controllers that make it rear biased. Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It simply will not work, to run constant 4wd the car MUST run 3 differentials; the middle of which must be the driven on.Your plan only consists of 2; and introducing a third is impossible. Also the BMW and VAG ratios are different. This will snap the propshaft cactusjackslade, Nex and Jakeyb 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just run a haldex and keep the motor that engages the cluch permenantly locked?Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
sleepymike 15 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 You will struggle to turn sharp corners if you do that, the diff doesn't give any slip for the inside wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
Radodb 4 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) would i just be better running the haldex with a LSD front and rear with a custom haldex controller? i won't the best possible amount of grip for up to 500whp and i don't fancy risking FWD with a LSD not sure that would be much fun haha Edited February 5, 2014 by Radodb Link to post Share on other sites
Nex 17 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I would think a haldex with LSD and upgraded controller should do you fine for that buddy Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Use an orange or blue controller i think they are. Ones for street and ones for track. You can get rear lsd's but their mega bucks. Haldex will be fine for 500Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

sleepymike 15 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I'm running an 02m 6speed with haldex controlled by an Exclusive tuning controller in my caddy. Last year it was running 400bhp and similar torque with absolutely no problems. This year I'm aiming for 550-600bhp and was going to fit an LSD in the front but buying a very expensive clutch amongst other very expensive bits kind of killed that idea for now so let's hope I will still get grip! I've been told 02m boxes are good for around 600ftlbs of torque before 4th gear starts trying to leave the box but I do have a strengthener to fit when I fit my LSD. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ha duh I just read it completely, first time skimmed it and only saw haldex and rear biased Link to post Share on other sites
