309 Driveshaft/vts Box/205 Hub?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm gathering parts for my 205 GTi6 build, I've got a xsara vts box, 205 GTi hubs (not sure whether they're 1.6 or 1.9 - does that matter?

?) And I'm going to buy 309 drive shafts to go with my wishbones, will I need base model ones or GTi ones? And which diff will I need for my vts box to run 309 shafts?

 

Thanks. ????

you need the small planet gear diff not the large type used in the vts box, a 205 diff will be the smaller type.

 

1.6/1.9 hubs have different sized splines, 1.9 are better to use if using a bigger power engine, standard 309 gti shafts fit then.

So I need to order a 205 diff for it to run the 309 shafts? I'll find out which hubs I have, I think they might be 1.6 ones though..

 

Thanks welshpug ????

I've made use of the search function rather than just being lazy, I found out the 1.6 and 1.9 drive shaft splines are the same at the gearbox end and that I'll need 1.9 hubs to run bigger brakes for my project, so I'll be buying 1.9 hubs/309 GTi driveshafts and a 205 diff.

If your budget can stretch i'd looking at getting an LSD, a quaife is great for fast road.
