This is so AWESOME! How cool is it that Dan is being the willing participant in doing this with his newly (well to us anyway) built E46 project. I couldn't have hoped for a more exciting re-entry into the Zero to 60 channel! Thank you Andrew and Dan for making this all possible! Can't wait to see results. Which will be perfect and without any problems or faults at All! LOL. Oops I guess I should be saying "Break a shift linkage" (As in "Break a leg" type thing for luck etc). You guys ROCK!! P.S.

Just thinking out loud.

sim racers use real master cylinder with bike reservoir and instead of it going into clutch there is pressure switch that senses how much pressure is in the system and that is then used to for the in game clutch. Maybe somebody else can explain it bit better but this is the basics how it works :D

I actually don’t know what gap is needed. But you don’t want pressure on the input shaft. Did you get the converter sitting back over all the notches?

[@backyardbuilt8162]

Is there a potentiometer sensor that can used on the clutch peddle with the Turbo lamik 8hp tcu virtual clutch or is it just a on and off switch ?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You do use a potenciometer 0-5v and it can be configured for bite point vs pedal travel on linear or progressive scaling. It’s pretty clever the way it can be set up on the lamik.

Do you sell the 8hp transmission and kit to new Zealand?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Hi There, Unfortunately not.

[@devonsmith1995]

After watching again what are you guys going to do for the gearing? I know being used sequentially allows for quick gear changes but for drifting being in the right gear is pretty important. For the 8hp I feel you will be changing gears quite often. Are you going bro be making longer gears or do you think 1-8 gears should have a gear long enough for the long corners but short enough for good transitions and slow corner stuff ?

[@Buckna1]

The car runs the OEM M3 gearing (3.46) Which is heaps shorter than what a M240i would come with (2.81) So should be heaps zippier than a stock BMW with an 8HP, and the gears in 7th and 8th are enough to do basically warp speed, I think it'll work well, most likely be in 4th and 5th most of the time while drifting... Hopefully....😂

[@1RMDave]

@@Buckna1 I've got a 607hp v8 with an 8hp70 in my MX5 which has 3.42 gears, I agree, probably be in 6th or 7th most of the time. Definitely feels like warp speed.

[@timripley7168]

So... what are whp losses with an 8HP vs DCT vs manual transmission? I was told the 8HP reduced WHP by ~40HP on a dyno when compared with S54 engine and manual transmission. But when you look at factory installed 0 to 60 times ie M240i etc. the 0 to 60 times are close...

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Zero energy loss on 8hp or DCT compared to a manual. Both the DCT and 8hp fully lock up.

It does have a built diff already to handle the manual clutch drops. I will double check the ratio. I think Dan said the 7500rpm rev limiter in 8th gear with the lamik will be around 295kmh

[@bavarianhero]

@@ZeroTo60Tube that’s great news. I remember I was going to put an auto diff for drag racing on mine. I ended finding out the gearing will make me shift at 6500 rpm. I was trying to get ratios to go upwards of 7k rpm. Any chance you know what differential would allow higher rpm’s for a stick shift 335i?

[@rayj1988]

Does the turbo lamik need a stock gear selector to work? Or can you integrate the dct sequential shifter straight to the Turbo Lamik? I recently did a shift knob change in my M140i and they dont use standard switches they use hall sensors. So it might be a bit tricky if you need to try go from the DCT sequential standard switches to trigger the stock selector into D,N,S, Gear up and Gear down. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnTCi2WXbrKnetU
