ive been lookin through othere therads on the forum....but cant actually find what i want to know

will the 22 spline/1.6 cav inner driveshafts be a good enough job for a 2.0 8valve if i was to tune it in the future

for example if it was turbo'd or on bike carbs or something

what sort of bhp would they be good for???

i want to get the shafts sorted for my project(although theres no great hurry) and would likely b buying a set of these.....but i dont want to end up having to replace them at a later date if i tune the engine in whatever way


i'd rather buy things once...and then thats it

the cars only really gonna be for road use to be honest and maybe an occasional track day

thanx folks:thumb:

Its the amount of torque that comes into play when choosing shafts etc.

They'll be fine imo on bike carbs etc etc.
Probably even still be fine with a turbo.

Yeah a N/A engine wouldnt stress the GM shafts too much IMO.

People run LETs on them which I perhaps wouldnt, but still report no issues. The drivetrains are a pretty much bombproof on most Vauxhalls esp the sportier stuff.
