octy 4x4 with TT gearbox conversion

[boomsly]

hello all first post and new user

im looking at buying an octy 4x4 and getting it to around 350hp i have all this worked out nearly, exept one little problem.

i want to fix an 02m 6spd audi TT gearbox, and wonder does anyone know what is involved in fitting one and what clutch and flywheel would be needed for this conversion.

i did see that a user on here with a 400hp 4x4 octy had done the same but have not had a response as of yet, any help on this would be very welcome

The 4x4 comes with a 6 speed box already so no need to change it.

[boomsly]

really?!?!

i was under the impression it was a 5spd box and that a TT box would be the next step in upgrading it strength wise

[jaymd]

Sorry thinking of the tdi which was 6 speed.

You will need a good few parts to change the box over.It's easier to find a octavia/golf/leon fwd cat c and buy that as you will need starter,drive shafts,gearlinkage etc...

if i buy a fwd write off then that defeats the point of wanting a 4wd as its the wrong box, or have i missed something.

its no problem, just i thought i was going mad for a bit and given some questionable ideas by a tuning company

[Guest westallc]

what internals and turbo are you going for ????

what internals and turbo are you going for ????

scat rods and forged pistons, arp bolts everywhere and jbs are dealing with sourcing a turbo and exhaust manifold, all will be done at home on a drive and then back up to them for mapping.

Now I could be wrong here so please forgive but I don't think the 02M 4x4 6 speed box from say a TT will fit the Octy 4x4. Something to do with prop alignment from the transfer box to the Haldex. I think EddyH's 4x4 had something made up for it to work.

[boomsly]

oh no, i already have the box :(

do you have a link to EddyH's thread by any chance i cant seem to find it

Ive done it myself.

Front half of the TT prop fits directly to the original Octavia one, job done.

Just need

Gearbox (with tx box)

Front half of prop

Driveshafts

Moutings

Shifter and cables

Starter motor

Flywheel

Clutch

Clutch pipe (with fluid damper)

Bolts for bell housing and starter motor

thats very helpful thanks:thumbup:

may i ask, what clutch and flywheel you ended up using?, im assuming TT stuff but would idealy like to not have the dual mass flywheel as its well heavy:thumbdwn:

[Tech1e]

Used a SPEC clutch and lightweight aluminium flywheel

[boomsly]

is this the people by any chance?

brilliant thanks, thats one issues sorted im sure there will be more along the way

thanks for all your help people:thumbup:

[Guest westallc]

i told you someone will help you:thumbup: and i was telling you about unit 18 lummox is half of that setup buddy top blokes done lots to cars

[boomsly]

indeed you did, top chaps maybe i will pop down eventually to see whats on offer

[Stuart_J]

Octy 4x4, 350 bhp. Great memories :)

Ross, great to see your still building specials.

[octimark]

i did see that a user on here with a 400hp 4x4 octy had done the same but have not had a response as of yet, any help on this would be very welcome

That would be me (now)

Sorry didnt see any PM or other contact from you so havent replied. I doubt I can be much help to you anyway. Looks like you already have the info you need from Ross (Lummox/unit 18).

Mine has the tt 6 speed box, spec stage 3+ clutch and spec flywheel. Also has the Haldex HPP 4WD controller.

I didnt do the conversion so I cant actually comment on how hard it was to do. Eddy H commissioned most of the work to the car and JBS auto designes did the engine and gearbox mods. I know they offer it as a service so maybe you can buy the parts in kit format from them. You would need to give them a call.

thanks for the reply,i didnt actually message you it was someone else and they have now replied too...

i have already had a nice chat with jbs and they did mention they could do it but i prefer to have a bash at it myself as thats half the fun for me :really:

on a drive with axle stands should be interesting:rofl:
