tom_m 0 Posted October 19, 2006 i'm pretty sure I remember Hilgie speculating about using 106 hubs on a 205 rear beam for a 4wd conversion, if memory serves that is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted October 20, 2006 Yeah I did. 106 base model front bearings + hubs fitted to modified 205 rear arms. Still working on this basically. Project hasn't been finished yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acox99 74 1 Cars Posted October 21, 2006 have you got any pics you could email me of how its coming along, im picking up my MIx4 rolling shell next tues so will be starting the project myself soon, how are you getting around the transfer box problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted October 21, 2006 No pics yet unfortunately, but can make some soon. The gearbox and transferbox will be used just like in a normal Mi16x4 setup. The subframe needs to be modified to fit the propshaft The reardiff will be mounted on a bracket. Driveshafts will be made from 2 parts, Mi16x4 on the diff side and 106 on the hubs side.

acox99 74 1 Cars Posted October 22, 2006 is the engine going to be standard, so not to knacker the transfer box, as they are prone to being weak. yeah would be good to see some pics when they are done. is it going to be a track or road car? Any idea what mods the sub frame needs, as i havnt researched into this yet? is it a fairly easy mod with the use of a welder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted October 24, 2006 it's going to be a road car with around 350 bhp XUD11 bottomend, with Mi16 head and GT28RS turbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acox99 74 1 Cars Posted November 1, 2006 sounds like its going to one hell of a car when its done. How do front hubs attach to the rear beam? sorry for all the questions, and will 106 driveshafts take the amount of torque you will be putting through them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efy2bjg 0 Posted November 1, 2006 I would have thought that the driveshafts would be fine as each one is only taking a 1/4 of the engine torque instead of 1/2 in a 2wd setup? Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted November 1, 2006 I would have thought that the driveshafts would be fine as each one is only taking a 1/4 of the engine torque instead of 1/2 in a 2wd setup? Ben if only one wheel has traction then 100% of available torque will be transmitted to that wheel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
efy2bjg 0 Posted November 1, 2006 Good point! But can the transfer box transfer ALL the torque to either front or rear depending on traction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted November 2, 2006 The transferbox can't transfer ALL power to one wheel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
