8hp everything! I came here for the jz hp conversion, but imagine the drivablity of any old car with a new box. I'm into my old Toyota's, so I'm imagining how my celica, crown, Mk2 corona would morph by having an 8 speed behind the OG engine. The tech is awesome!

Every review I've seen of cars coming equipped with that ZF 8 speed the reviewers can't stop raving about how good that trans is.

So cool! Makes me really want to swap my 2jz. Is your 8hp70 completly stock? No upgrades needed for 800hp?

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

I would highly suggest it the swap mate. Yep, stock used 8hp70 gearbox. I’m at 880NM and the gearbox in factory form can handle 1200nm. So plenty left in the box.

[@p0intdk]

Does this thing have... ac? 😄 Looks proper mate! Starting a 8HP swap in my old Vette.

hey man will you be doing the ignition cut on the gear changes?? would be keen to see hoq that sounds

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Yea I had the bangs between gears when I had poor traction setup previously. The bangs are from ignition retard not ignition cut. They can sound cool but I don’t like the fact it causes a boost increase if it’s an aggressive retard amount.

[@91ludesit]

Did you find there were challenges setting up the TCU and the haltech to work together? I'm looking to do the same swap on my skyline gt-r.

No major challenges, just need to have the correct info going into ecu and back into TCU. I’m running the Link FuryX ecu but both need the same setup to work.

[@johntheconnor8721]

What sort of rpm do you redline the engine for the safety of the box? i’ve seen a lot of forum posts etc saying there is issues with the 8hp boxes over 7500-8k rpm due to oil pump cavitation. Are you able to shed any light on this from your experiences with the boxes? Have an sr that’ll be spinning upwards of 10k rpm.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Good question, i run the engines so far to 8000rpm with the 2jz engines, power is made very early with the 2jz so we don’t need such high rpm. I wouldn’t have an issue spinning it to 8500rpm but I would have concerns above that. 9000rpm I would say is possible, but 10,000rpm is just crazy haha

[@Alpha_apex]

You think a 2j swap in a e92 with this trans would bolt right up? My concern is with the swap kits already offered for the 2j to e92 swap, would they mate up good with the 8hp.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Like anything modified, Nothing is a bolt in with no modification install, this will definitely fit and be a great idea but you will need to fabricate some things, cross member to hold box to chassis, driveshaft made to suit etc

[@josemenjivar337]

Great stuff man! Would you be interested in helping remote tune one of these boxes for us here in the USA? Happy to pay for your time and help if possible.

"None of that twin plate ratatata" speaks to me on a spiritual level. My twin plate has made my dislike driving my car.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Haha yea man, I didn’t like driving my car that much with the twin plate. Now it’s just beautiful

[@tptrsn]

Over the years, especially since it has gotten so easy to make power, I just came to really dislike clutches altogether. 8HPs seem like the answer to it all. You can even still have a clutch pedal, without all of the mechanical headache! Dreamy. Lol

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Yea I appreciate an original manual clutch sports car, but now I’m after comfortable and ballistic mixed together

[@Notorioussociety242]

thats all fine and lovely really. but can it be launched ??

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Yep, can use the Transbrake feature or simulated clutch pedal classic clutch dump. So has two forms of launch.

[@Notorioussociety242]

@@Motorsporttuningsolutions1 cool great. also another stupid question. if the engine is already tuned prior w/gearbox. would it need to get retuned to kind of be happy with the trans instead of a manual gearbox?

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

@@Notorioussociety242 nah that’s actually a great question mate. The engine tune would need to be looked at, only because the auto will behave slightly different in the cruise and idle parts of the map, these different parts of the map the engine accesses may not have been efficiently tuned with the manual. Any quality/competant tuner will have these parts of the map mostly predicted and tuned but may not be perfect. If you have a good quality wideband setup well, it can help also

[@benguier561]

What diff gear ratio and tire size are you using? Are you using the stock torque converter

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Stock converter, 3.69 final, 275/45R17

[@Mudskipper99]

@@Motorsporttuningsolutions1 so stock converter from a diesel, if so are you going to try a petrol one ? Did you go 3.7 diff because of rev limitations in 7th & 8th? Cheers, good vid.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

No im using a petrol 8hp70 stock box. So a stock petrol converter. In the stock cars these come from, the final drive is about 3.2-3.4 ratio. Even with a 4.1 ratio like I had, you won’t really use gear 7/8 for anything but very low rpm cruise. Even the 4.1 at 8000rpm in 8th gear would be like 400kph. Reason for lowering the final drive from 4.1 to 3.7 is grip, it’s way to hard to get 800hp to grip with such violent gears gearing, I’ve dropped it down to lower the torque multiplier in lower gears.

[@pahulsandhu1995]

how much would something like this cost? I'm putting 1jz into my GS300 and was just looking at different auto transmissions

Legend! Thanks for the video. Have a 100% genuine parts BNR34 clone going in for paint soon and this has been the setup i have wanted for about 3 years now! Stoked to see it in action. On a side note can you set it up to get more blow off valve noise?

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Cheers man. Will be good to see your car on the street. BOV noise is done with how it’s installed and the piping that’s used. Me personally, I’m not a fan of the bov noise. But I’m old haha

No not like a normal auto. I went from 810hp to 775hp, hardly an issue in my books. Nothing 1.5psi can’t change haha

[@tptrsn]

This is awesome content, but don't get yourself raided and arrested! I'd chop that datalog off at the speed limit if I were you, and delete all of the footage you have of anything that's not strictly legal. You guys have it rough down there.

[@mrsquirrel8079]

I understand the point you're making and the benefits of this transmission but I never have or really... never will own a car without a true gated stick shift.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

I’m an 80s kid, all I have ever owned is manual transmission race cars. Now having access to newer technologies for the cars is hands down such an improvement. Same goes for electronics controlling our race cars now, so much better 😃

[@LaNceGT4]

Is there any noticeable delay when you demand and shift and the shift actually happening? When downshifting is it still a direct feel? Trying to work out if this would be a suitable replacement over a sequential for a circuit car.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Hey mate, yes there is a delay, it’s about 150ms of delay, this could be tightened up a bit but this delay is more to do with the gearbox getting the correct solenoids full with oil to select the next gear, the shift time of the actual gearbox is very quick (70-120ms) but yes there is a delay on top. Roll racing and drag racing it’s not an issue but it may be more of an issue with circuit racing. Maybe a DCT gearbox is more suited for time attack/circuit racing, but I haven’t compared both on a track to really know. Not like the 8HP won’t be a good gearbox for circuit, just a DCT may be a bit better at super sharp shifting times with no delay, if that is a preference. Both 8HP and DCT have pros and cons.

[@drinkme.1229]

@@Motorsporttuningsolutions1 Agreed. For circuit racing Temperature would become an issue very fast with the amount of changes/RPM you would be at. As long as you can keep the Trans cool and dont mind the slight delay i say why not.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Yea I believe with the correct cooling system for gearbox fluid, well designed, would not be an issue.

[@Motorsporttuningsolutions1]

Yea the v160 would help fund most of the swap if you did. Yea 1200nm is the supposed max limit, but increasing that isn’t a huge job to update a couple of parts in gearbox. You can drop some “Max torque” out of the tune at the 4-5000rpm range but keep HP high heading up the rpm range!
