What a great video again, very cool! Do you have a separate breather line on the catch-tank? If not, this could solve the fuel surge problem, if yes, check for restrictions or up the size ;-). And please keep the videos coming!!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You mean the surge tank? It has a return to the top of the fuel tank. But not a breather as such.

[@robingroeneveld4169]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeah, I mean a surge tank. Is the 'return' you mention a fuel return, or is it a breather line? If it is a fuel return, I would recommend a breather line from both the tank as the surge tank.

Hi guys!! Loving the Video content. Im just in the early stages of 8hp 70 swapping my 1959 Ford 100e. Are you looking at doing any videos on drag racing with the 8hp? My car gets regular visits to the drag strip and would love some info on launching and setting up the settings to help with this. Keep up the awesome videos!! Cheers!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay, i missed this. Absolutely looking at drag racing. This is where the trans will stand out. Just need to get the cars built...... need more hours in the day

[@richardprice5978]

im impressed that it's still working in a hardcore driven drifting car and it's not over heating ect and mostly OEM-gut's with aftermarket tunes/programming. probably more ruff on it vs 1/4 drag and auto-X ?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@richardprice5978 So the manual clutch kicks we do with the drift setups are harsh on the trans. Just like they are on a real clutch. However when testing the clutch pedal, the clutches in the 8hp are violent. We snapped 2 axles instantly, which you just wouldnt do if it was a normal clutch. We have ended up using software to soften the blow on a clutch kick. Even with clutch kicks and poor airflow through the cooler drifting, the trans doesnt break a sweat. However wide open throttle shifts with big power are where we want to explore next. On this car we dont run any torque reduction on a shift and lets face it, if you want to go fast you dont want torque reduction, you want all the torque getting to the back wheels all the time. We will see how much we can push a trans drag racing in 2023. We have a few builds in the pipeline around that 1000whp mark.

[@piovo5222]

I’ve got a question that you may have mentioned before, the E84 which is a X1 20d N47 version uses the 8hp on the newer ones, if I was to get the ecu etc and fit to a e89 get the Isn coded if needed do you think that would work? (Fitted to a N47 E89)

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I think it should work. But i dont think anyone has managed to make it work with out errors. The erros come from the DSC/ABS and the FRMs. Yeah in short i have seen people try and make the car drive, but the car has errors they can't fix. People have been trying for well over a year. Swapping so many parts its crazy. The guys i know who are trying have spent way more on modules than an aftermarket controller costs. Its really in the too hard basket or at least not the cheapest way to do it basket.

[@recklesshoongarage566]

Andrew he is insane 😂😮… Such an awesome build! By any chance, currently starting to mod my 335i with the good old MHD shelf tunes but something doesn’t feel right. By any chance is there any perfect log files for any of the stages of MHD so I can reflect off them? Cheers 😁✌️

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

With logs theres not much to worry about to be honest. Make sure you have fuel pressure, make sure the car isnt pulling timing and make sure fuel trims are moving together.

[@recklesshoongarage566]

@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeah I’ll have to study them because going back about 2 weeks ago, I had two blocked cats and the car was not accelerating at all so I kept flooring it to hope it will blow all the melted cat out but I think there was so much back pressure it broke something… So I’m kind of wedged between knowing and not knowing what broke, would you know what would break if there was so much back pressure when I was WOT with blocked cats?

@@recklesshoongarage566 too much back pressure would likely melt a piston or a turbo. When the gasses can't get out everything gets really hot really quick.

[@Mudskipper99]

Are you running a thermostat in the trans oil cooler system?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

No, never bothered with thermostats on any trans setups i have done. We are warm climate and never have issues with the boxes being legitimately too cold. 70-80degc seems to be fine on the ZF6. I just really expected this one to get hotter, considering what its being put through.

[@friguy4444]

I'm sure you've probably already thought of this but perhaps it's something with the heater core that's giving it cooling troubles? But what do I know, so grain of salt on anything I might say.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Look that’s not a bad idea. However it shouldn’t over heat of the heater core is bypassed (heater off).

Maybe theres a pressure leak or something blocking the flow? I guess brent is closer to the 2m height mark why the e46 is cramped for him?

To be honest we dont actually have a thermostat in it at all. So we might look at one.

[@nismofreak33]

@@ZeroTo60Tube if its been completely deleted, what is probably happening is that the water is flowing too fast through the rad/engine to effectively reject/absorb. if he doesnt want to refit a thermostat, at least refit the restriction plate without the thermatic spring valve. It will help restrict/maintain pressure in the engine block and stop the water flowing too fast through the rad.

[@keraminminsk]

Having 8HP in a drift car actually makes no sense. Fun car - ok. You can see how many shifts this guy have to do during a drift. That's because there's 8 gears and each one is super short. I have the same gearbox in my l405 range rover :)

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

They are much better box for drifting or fast street driving. They keep the engine in its power band. This car was far from the most powerful car there but was making more smoke than cars with an extra 200hp. The extra ratios are a help. However it’s not like you would think. At 200kmh you are in 6th gear with a 8hp, where with a 6 speed you would be in 5th. So accelerating flat out up to 200kmh it’s only one extra shift. 7th and 8th are over drives. And you generally start off in 2nd. Do you ever notice your rangie shifting gears all the time?

[@keraminminsk]

You've listed obvious benefits of having a lot of short gears. No doubt that's true. But show me a good chase run in a tandem drift with 8hp :) it will be way more difficult to tandem in such a car because of constant shifting. It simply requires more work. When I drift my car it's 1 single gear all the time on 99% tracks.

[@brentmassey]

Alex, Challenge accepted!

[@Vgk36]

Makes all the sense in the world if you want to keep your car streetable. Long trips ✅ drifting ✅ don't want to manually shift sometimes ✅. Nobody said you have to 8hp swap your car.

[@Buckna1]

@@keraminminsk not exactly true. If forced you could 100% leave it in 1 gear, for the purpose of this video series we are showcasing the way it can change gears. But for tracks where you have to change gears or tandem situations where you don't want to unsettle the car changing gears i can't see any traditional h pattern manual being as good. Once we finish brents s13 he will 100% change your mind.
