currently sorting a deal out on a DCCD box and diff however i know the driveshafts and hubs are thicker and differant to R160.

so my questions is

other than a TYPE R P1 22B where else can i find matching shafts and hubs to get these fitted?

or does it have to come from the above cars has they will be very hard to find?

thanks

 

P1 are R160 size so won't fit.

Any Newage STI will have the correct shafts and hubs.

Fronts will be fine as is unless you have the later type DCCD box (Hawkeye) in which case you'll need the gearbox stubs to mate your current drive shafts to.

 

many thanks daz so basically the fronts will bolt up with my original shafts? but for the rears ill need shafts and hubs which im assuming will change my handbrake so brakes to go with this too?

will be early type DCCD.


appreciate the responses on my threads mate thanks

 

There's no real reason to go R180.

All you need to do is pair the rear ratio up not size.

A 6 speed dccd box will go with both R160 and R180 diff as long as the ratio's are correct.

If the Box is a UK box you could use a 3.54 R160 rear diff.

If the box is jap get yourself a 3.9 R160.

That way you wont need to change the shafts, hubs and brakes.

I did just this on my old UK Classic. I ran an R160 3.54 rear diff with no proplems at 450bhp.

Food for thought.

 

If the DCCD 5 speed box you buy has a 4.44 final drive ratio, and you want to use an R160 rear diff with small hubs, then you'll need the R160 diff from a P1.

IIRC, the R160 from a P1 is the only small diff that has a 4.44 ratio and LSD.

4.44 CWP can also be found in some NA Legacys, but they will have an open diff.

 

My bad was assuming it was a 6 speed DCCD.

 

thought i was onto a winner there!!

finding a diff from a p1 will be near impossible...

how can i find out what diff i have has there was one already on my type R? and is definatly a R160 has got single pot calipers

 

It's not necessarily R160 - Sti3's had single pot rear calipers on R180 hubs - What's the brake disc diameter?

 

ive got an sti 02 r180 diff and drive shafts for sale if you want them but it is a 3.9 ratio
