915 output flanges vs. 944 cv joints

[LOAF]

Picked up the engine, now (like leaving work right now) heading to pick up a 911 (901) with hopefully the correct flanges..

From talking to the seller.. (Porsche Guy) He said he had the right flanges to mate to the 944 CV and Axles.. He also confirmed Coarse not fine..

I will take pics and let everyone know..

Now I need money for a DTM.. getting the Video but still debating on the shroud.. Joe Cali vs DTM .. Cheaper vs $$$..

Just got the tranny.. Haven't started inspecting.. I will take pics and look at the output flange and compare to the 944 later this week..

Very excited.. I bought it off a guy for 300.00 911 (901) with flanges and a 911 front tranny cross member.. So I will try the MG route..

This guy had a garage with a lift, and more space in the garage than my house.. more in Porsches than what my home is worth.. When he asked what car I had and what the tranny was going into.. I told him a bug.. He rolled his eyes in disbelief.. Then I told him that it would be Type IV powered.. I think what he said was that it was probably cheaper buying a porsche..

I will keep everyone posted.. on my findings..

And as always thanks for the help.. best support community out there..

How did the tranny install go. Did you get your CV's hooked up??

At the moment I've got the tranny hooked up to stock type 1 cvs and flanges (cos I've still got the stock type1 arms installed at the moment) with 901 outputs.
I'm gonna have the 930 outputs redrilled to suit the 944/type2 cv joints, it seems like the only way to go.

For you guys with the Al control arms and the 108mm output flanges, to get the Porsche splines get the 87-89 951 axles. The early turbos, 85.5-86's, used the same axles as the NA's. Also there are quite a few VW part suppliers that carry the 930 CV's so that might save you a buck or two. Thanks to Mikey for swapping output flanges with me, I'll be able to go this route.

So you could run 108mm 930 CV's on the inside and 100mm turbo (951) CV's on the outside. 28 spline axles...

That's the plan lil buddy. I just received my '89 944 S2 axles (they weren't cheap), appearently the S2's used the same axles as the 951's. I'm running the 108mm flanges on my 901, and alloy arms. So inner 930 CV's (930 332 034 00) and outer 951 CV's (951 332 030 00) will do the trick. With the 28 splined axles there are no surprises. I am going for stout on my car, I've broken enough type 1 cv's to know that they are inheritantly weak, plus the cost of having my flanges machined is about the same as buying the axle assemblies used. Warning do not attempt this if you are trying to save weight in the rear, cause this stuff weights a lot.

Nick,
Are the splines on the 944 Driveshafts the same as used on the 930 CV joint?
I wasn't aware you could just slide a 930 CV joint onto a 944 driveshaft...

Hmm, I suppose you are talking about the narrow alu control arms?
How long are those axles?

Thanks,
Walter

the axles are the same length for both arms. i have fitted both arms on my car with the same axles. the difference comes outside of the outside CV. see the pic below and it will make sense (early is on the top, late on the bottom)...

Thanks Zen, good point! well noted
