Doing the conversion on my crown here in Sweden and got some answers on questions from Paul, really appreciate it! :)

[@Whifbitz]

Happy to help!

[@466rudy6]

Do you have to wait for it to downshift 3 times when you put your foot down?

[@MrTay675]

that is incredible. very practical but also changes the dynamic of the car for better while being very fun. grade it an A+

[@Whifbitz]

Thanks 😎

[@karolsojka2567]

Nice

[@Whifbitz]

Thanks

[@khalidk1987]

Hi awesome work guys, is it possible do it for Porsche 997 turbo with tip gears

[@Whifbitz]

No it’s not.

[@asdreww]

This is amazing. What do you think is required to for this to a old Jaguar V12 engine (old 3 speed GM TH400 auto) - just a new adapter plate presumably to match the bolt pattern, & custom length/adapted propshaft?

[@Whifbitz]

Thats right yes, it will work a treat with that engine

[@impslap7620]

Looks like a great alternative to manual conversion. How much power can this handle?

[@Whifbitz]

We’ve tested them to 850bhp so far. They can be upgraded if you need them to handle more power.

[@hostishumanigeneris11001]

Very nice, I have a 95 SE automatic Supra LHD. What rear gearing is being used in your cars? I'm going to assume it was a TT 6spd originally and it has the big diff of 3.26? USD would be 3.13, Lexus makes a 3.13 200mm diff and also a 2.97 200mm. Which of those diffs would allow the 1st gear to be used rather than starting out in 2nd? Also, those wheels are gorgeous, I would like to eventually get them in 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear.

[@Whifbitz]

This car uses the original 3.7 ratio.

[@jonathansandiford4137]

​@@Whifbitz what is the best rear diff ratio to use for the mkiv supra?

[@getthecats]

Does the transmission tunnel need to be modified? Interested in getting this done but wouldn't want to bend or bust anything to do it. Great build 👏👏👏

[@Whifbitz]

Slight adjustment with a hammer, nothing major.

[@getthecats]

@@Whifbitz thank you! :)

[@joez1966]

I have a stock TT 1994 MK4 Auto in the US. Coincidentally, it was originally a UK car and has many of the interesting items that come with EU version of the Supra. Do you offer a preprogrammed TCU? Or would I have to take it to a local tuner?

[@Whifbitz]

We can do that yes.

[@brianRED]

Do your kits work with a 8hp70 from a scat pack. I have a Aristo here in Texas and those dodge transmission’s are a dime a dozen compared to the n63 bmw ones.

[@Whifbitz]

They can be made for those gearboxes but I think they’re quite big so might not fit in the tunnel very well.

[@uddinna]

Can you talk about suitable differentials, would A02B be ok or does it need to be closer to 3.26?

[@Whifbitz]

The car in the video had the original 3.7 ratio fitted and works just fine.

[@shadyshinichi2JZ]

What would be helpful for us in the USA is to list other 8hp transmissions that work. We dont have access to the diesel 8HP70 that you have in the UK. Will the 8hp50 work? Hold the power of a 2jz making 600rwhp?

[@Whifbitz]

We can supply used N57 gearboxes if needed.

[@shadyshinichi2JZ]

​@Whifbitz for how much total shipped to Florida? Zip code 33844

[@Francis_Castiglione]

Would you recommend this over a 7 speed dct?

[@Whifbitz]

Definitely yes.

[@user-lw3vt8do1m]

I’m in the US, what are my options other than shipping the car overseas?

[@Whifbitz]

We can send you a kit and all you need to do is find a tuner that can install it. It’s very easy to fit.

[@petec2583]

Would you fit one of these to a V10 M5/M6?

[@Whifbitz]

We could yes, that will transform it.

[@Spinnachpower]

Will a land rover shifter work well with the lamik?

[@Whifbitz]

See here manual.turbolamik.eu/SupportedCANSelectors.html

[@Spinnachpower]

Thanks mate, appreciate it 👌

[@naten555]

getting close.... Only a matter of time until the boat anchor comes out of the engine bay and gets replaced with a S58.

[@Whifbitz]

That would be a big job to get one of those to fit.

[@hollywood6218]

What's the weight difference between the two engines?

[@hostishumanigeneris11001]

Why would you want to replace one inline "boat anchor" for another? Kind counter intuitive, wouldn't you think? If anything v8 would be a lot better like a 1,2,3 UZFE or even a LS.

[@riyadhrustam2503]

Does any zf8hp work or do you need to use the mk5 Supra one?

[@Whifbitz]

We normally use the 8hp70 from a bmw.

[@joshcarlyle3706]

do paddles not fit on an oem supra wheel?

[@Whifbitz]

No they don’t.

[@bmwe-op4jx]

how much rpms can this 8hp goes? we have a boosted s2000 which runs 700 whp and revs to 9k,,can this ZF rev to 9k rpms ?

[@Whifbitz]

We’ve only ever tested them to 8000rpm so far.

[@466rudy6]

Torque is what limits transmissions not RPM. They just wanted to tell you their engine revs higher.

[@artmahmoudian2805]

Is it possible to install the same transmission also on 04 lexus gs300 2jz ge?🎉❤🎉

[@Whifbitz]

Yes it is

[@artmahmoudian2805]

@Whifbitz may I ask what the estimated cost is for the transmission in gs?

[@deimosphob]

I want the swap for a 1uz vvti but nobody does it.

[@Whifbitz]

It’s available yes.

[@farncoisbisson7737]

what about the newest LT engine?. ive been goin threw 6l80e.. engine rated at 1xxxhp only ran 600 because of the transmission right now. 7litre supercharged

[@Whifbitz]

If it uses the same bell housing as LS engines yes.

[@2jz65]

CanTCU > Turbolamik, no?

[@Whifbitz]

What do you mean?
