Guys,

Need to know.  Are the turbo and NA drive shafts (2 piece) the same?  I need to replace mine (long story, cobbed auto to 5spd conversion by previous owner) and I have a guy who has a set up out of a 1.8 turbo with an r200 diff.  I have a 2.0 NA with R180.

Any feed back will be very helpful

Thanks in advance!

I would think the front half is the same, but the rear is going to be different. The R200 has a larger input flange IIRC.

front half is the same, rear section on the turbo is a little shorter because the snout on the longnose r200 is a little longer that the r180... front shaft are all the same throughout the s12 lineup (that is for manual cars) either with the fs5w71b and fs5w71c...

Just get the turbo driveshaft and split in half and mate the front section with your rear section on your r180 equiped car
