This debate has run it's course a very long time ago.
The E30 flanges are longer, but the E30 diff is wider, so the shafts can stick in deeper. You can't compare how much the Ti flange sticks out, to the E30 flange, it doesn't work like that. It is true that E30 flanges will go in deeper than Ti flanges in an E30 diff, but isn't that obvious from comparing flanges?
Use the E30 flanges in 188mm large case diffs.

the only issue i encounter is the grooved side of the TI output flanges compared to the E30 which is shorter but still beefier enough to stick in.
- both flanges stick out from the diff exactly the same lenght.
- the groove for the locking circlip in the TI output flanges is located about 3/4 from output flange end. in E30 output flanges it's in the end of it. not actually a problem cause u can just push it all the way in.
so, basically, E30 halfshaft are longer and will handle bigger stress than the original Ti's |
