CV Boots

[nigel andrews]

Question for Anyone who is running a Porsch G50 52 transaxle. What CV Boots are you using ? The original boots that came with the CV Jionts disintegrated so I need to replace them .
Was thinking of trying CV 863s

 

[John]

Does the G50 use the same boots as the Porsche 930? If so, I can lookup the info on my car?

It should be a 930 style CV, I use the aero boots and haven't had one fail since switching away from the concertina style.

I then ordered a set of boot flanges from another source that were listed as 930 CV flanges and they fit the CV joints perfectly. The boot seating area...

I Couldnt confirm if the 930 porsche boots are the same . I purchased the complete CV jionts from a local drive line company who has subsequently stopped trading. My set up is totaly unique from the transaxle through specialy made axles to Frod falcon XR 8 rear wheel assembly .please see picture of the boot I think may be OK note the boot has been inverted into the housing.

I can't find any useful dimensional information on that Hardy Spicer part number. The 930 is a 108mm diameter with 94mm bolt circle or a Type 1 CV is 94mm diameter with 78mm bolt circle.

The following may be of help in determining which type CV joint you have;

Looking awesome Andy! What ECU did you end up going with? If you are not going DBW throttle the Holley HP ECU would be worth a look, and they do complete ECU+harness kits for LSX. I'm putting one on an LS3 and the software is fairly intuitive with great learning and closed loop control...
