Is there an optimal angle for Porsche half shafts?
I'm contemplating installing a drive package that will utilize a Boxster 6 speed and wondered what is considered "optimal". I know 20 degrees is sort of the working limit but wondered what the minimum should be. I believe having the half shaft perfectly level and at 90 degrees to the drive wheel will tend to wear the joints at a single point. What should I shoot for? |

I believe Renegade Hybrid is regularly using the Boxster gearbox in their conversion. You might want to check a few of their videos or call them.
I know they sell the same set of HD drive shaft/CVs as Tarett, but this would be for a 901 gearbox. I actually have a set of these HD driveshaft/CV and it turns out they are Loebro bus CV and bus shafts with custom steel adaptors to bolt to the /4 901 box and stubs. That being said, maybe they use these drive shaft/CVs with a different adaptor at the Boxster gearbox end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
