3 modes are more than enough, I just wanna get in and drive the thing 😍 shifter looks mint 🤙

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

It still blows my mind how well this setup works behind the 1vd 🤩. Really needs some paddle shifters…. Any idea where to get some from?

[@PVSAutomotive]

@@ZeroTo60Tube what's a paddle shifter? I mean you can probably fit a paddle oar in a LandCruiser. Do you think carbon ones would be good 😂

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

We can make an oar shift the 8 speed no worries …. Forged carbon will be the way forward. 100 sets please.

[@maxmoughal5183]

How far this whole journey has come is pretty incredible really, from trying to decide between a diesel 6hp and the 8hp for your E90, to making the swap yourself, convincing Dan to try one out, to becoming the go-to place for retail 8hp swap kits...

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Impressive work fellas. cant beat a BMW 8 speed auto such a smooth fast gearbox! Id imagine bolting one of you're kits into a factory 70 series V8 would make it significantly quicker than a standard manual. not only that, fuel consumption must be so much easier to keep down in the city. Toyota should be taking notes 😉

[@79series]

Well done guys. Thinking maybe most wont be sports shifting often, just click in drive and go and locating the shifter right up to the dash allowing cup holders and phone spots in the consol closer to the drivers hip.

[@rayzor3463]

Agree with the others saying to just have three options. Normal auto, sports mode with manual shifting and towing mode

[@MattysWorkshop]

[@darrenmorgan5849]

Great job guys on working out a kit for the 8spd auto conversion 👌. As an owner of a VW V6 Amarok I am lucky enough to have a similar version of this transmission, and I just love driving mine with the auto. I’ve found the 3 modes in mine (which are the same as you have with that unit from BMW) is definitely all you need. Haven’t found a need for wanting anything more because the transmission is so good. And they are definitely smooth 👌. Curious to know if you will be tuning the second gear shift to be slightly more aggressive? I know they did change the tuning slightly in the VWs so it would be a bit more of a “positive “ shift while under load, like for towing. Apparently it was a request from the Australian VW side which requested this change, so it be better for towing. The downside is that on startup when the trans is cold it can be a bit more of a rough change. But once it has some temperature in it, it is smooth again. Great job guys. Keep up the great work👌👍

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Regarding the tuning, the difference between the VW/Audi zf and BMW is quite vast. In fact all manufacturers seem to go about the software and drive ability quite differently. This controller is more so like the BMW algorythms for shifting and clutch transitions. However it is changed again. We have done some work on the shifting in the lower gears and slow speeds to more so suit the torque band of the 1vd. But on the same note the controller was pretty good out of the box.

[@madrx2]

I'd be keen for one in my FTE 100 series. Can't wait to see a kit for it.

[@charlie2king]

This is awesome

[@satnamsaini2114]

Hey, i'm very happy to see your video. Would it be possible to have some style of shifter with this conversion? I'd like to have a different style shift (like the Prado ones)

[@prezd_]

Sounds really cool guys! What's the economy like in the thing, seems like it'd be quite improved how smooth it is. Has there been ball park costs yet?

good news all round. would you have 8ATsolution for 77 kingswood ute, 5.0 v8 and th400? 8AT replacement of course. I note the lamik vid panel is a bit small for installation in the dash and somewhere useful and easy to read.

[@tysondonohoe505]

Hey guys this is absolutely got me wanting one. Are you planning on doing a hilux N70 kit with this box in the near future? The 5speed manual turns to glass around 240hp and 600/650n/t. I’m pushing that and have been looking for a decent auto swap and came across you guys. Anyway please tell me there is plans for a swap kit for 1KD N70 hilux 🙏🙏🙏

[@robinhouston5615]

Love your work. Number of modes : agree KISS, is there an option where someone could program one of their own to suit themselves? The amount of braking through the gearbox, how will you know if you program enough? Going down a steep track in 1st Lo range without having to apply brakes is great! Can you achieve the same with the auto. Also same scenario, (going down hill in 1st Lo) however now your towing a van, GCM of 6ish tonnes, can you program gearbox braking to cater for this? Can we get an update on pricing, and install options? Cheers

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Pricing for the basic kit is still on target from the first vid..... somehow.. $24000 installed. As for options not yet.

[@jessehill1421]

I think the standard bmw shifter would be mint with a console for me but other would prefer the race style, so doing an option would be my thought

[@micklamb3459]

Nice work guys im interested in doing my 79 what are your details and location please

Dan had a TPS on the first clutch he setup with his E46 when it was DCT. Had issues getting the progressiveness, which is why we went to a linear potenciometer.

[@bavarianhero]

All 8 settings because why not😎

[@imopn]

TBH for me two modes is all I would need given it still has low range and high range. 1 for using all that torque to just cruise around at low RPM (Hate that the manual runs at 2200rpm at 100km/h), and 2 that keeps the gears a bit longer and more engine braking. Regarding the conversation about the power it an take...I thought the ZF8 came in a version rated up to 1200NM?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

HIeght factory rated ZF is 950nm. However thats the factory rating with warranty etc. Its general belief they will take that 1200nm in stock form.

Do You install them or are they easy enough to install with a hoist? so keen for this

Yes, we are making the kit quite complex, so the install is very easy. We figured it would be better to put more effort in to the kit at the manufacturing level and make the install in to the car much quicker and easier.

We are expexting to supply the boxes. Wont be an issue for us to supply the units for the 500 people on the waiting list. Getting all the parts in the kits made in high volume is the current issue.

Does the Turbolamik TCU blip the throttle and rev match on a downshift if shifting down gears in manual mode?

The blip feature is coming but we wont be putting it in this kit. It’s really only for track cars. Not needed on street setups or even the drift cars.

[@tonyday3061]

Have you had any fuel consumption figures from testing or Macca compared to manual?.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Macca said he got way better fuel economy. But it was a little too good to be true. We are planning to do some testing in the second car this week, which should be a lot more relevant to most people.

[@93jummy]

I've had a NAG1 that others are trying to setup as a conversion and also a 8hp70 and chalk and cheese. Killed 3 nag 5 speeds. ZF is what autos always should've been. The lock up in every gear soon as your moving is a game changer. Our 6 speed auto toyota is complete trash without having the ecu fiddled with

[@lostinception9511]

Question for you what signals do you need from the engine? I’m been thinking the 8speed would be awesome behind my lazy ish rd28 but it’s full mechanical, does have a electric tach signal

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The Tcu needs accel pedal position, rpm and boost. With those we can calculate rough what power the engine is making and the pedal position is used to calculate shift points and shift aggression.

I can understand for the European stuff, but Chev? There is an odd trans out there for sale too & yes, while the controllers are up there price wise I can certainly see why you have gone for them.

@Zero To 60 haha decent auto in a 200 series definitely. I hate the stock box characteristics in mine. Uses so much unnecessary fuel and they just slip and don't put the power and torque to the ground under normal driving conditions. What's the point of a nice V8 if the power isn't making it to the wheels and uses more fuel than it should.
