Advice on using a vw gearbox conversion

[mike wilson]

Thinking about buying a vw conversion flywheel from a 172 , now I'm wanting to fit it to the 5 turbo , right I no I have to make shafts and hyd clutch etc that's the easy bit but what I'm unsure off is the flywheel trigger for the tdc ? And how I would get this working ? If that's poss ? Cheers

You will need an adapter plate. Scoff @ EFI Parts makes and sells them. In fact , I beleive @tutuur has one for sale ?

Gearbox strength and uprating parts.

The o2m box has quite a range of upgrades. Stronger gearing all the way upto sequential boxes.

whats the box off? is there a write up on it?

Mark 4 Golf , typically GTI . 6 speed box, but the 5 speed varient is around as well.

I guess the only reason he's asking is because i'm selling my setup.

You'll need standalone management mate, it has a 60-2 crank trigger

After writing this I was informed that we are running a standalone system with the tdc on the other crank end so , this doesn't become a issue , I wanted to put it in the rwd 172 turbo 5 but he wants it in the track 5 lol , will be in touch the day tutuur

02m 6 speed is a stronger option than a 02j 5 speed , however I haven't killed a 02j yet I'm running around 240bhp and using a pelequin LSD in my mk4 golf track car and it gets plenty of abuse .
