Being able to make an old-school weapon like this streetable is an amazing feat in itself🎉

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

With drive by wire, some downshift blips it would be epic. Hoping to get it out at rolls soon.

[@Star.Chaser]

They’re streetable with an auto 4 speed or even factory 5/6spd.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I mean you are not wrong, but a 1000hp will break a 5 speed, even a 6 speed will be on borrowed time. If you build a 4 speed to hold 1000hp they aren't very nice to drive.@@Star.Chaser

[@Whatguywhat]

@@ZeroTo60Tubehow’s turning let’s say about half throttle with the car on a basic 90 angle?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

on boost half throttle in this car is about 800hp, so a basic 90deg turnis a problem. However to help you understand, the 8speed and turbo lamik whill be no different to a manual in a 50% throttle applciation. Converter will be locked. @@Whatguywhat

Amazing! Getting the monster to be able to drive on the street! 8HP is extending life of classic cars… 1100 hp + 8 speed is mental! The built on your channel are absolutely inspiring! I’m actually building an E36 with N52B30 + 8hp45 and really looking forward to driving it 🏁🏁

[@Tango_gtr]

I had this car built, final setup was a Samsonas sequential before the current owner got it. It looks like the gearbox he’s chosen is absolutely awesome, can’t wait to see it doing what it does best. Props to Tama and the boys that have done the conversion. If this box holds up to the power, my next one will have the same setup. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tango_gtr]

It’s a 7685 btw

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Awesome to see you in the comments section, with DBW this will be perfect. Best of both performance and daily driver potential. Looking forward to seeing it driven in anger.

[@Tango_gtr]

@@ZeroTo60Tube I thought I’d DBW but didn’t have a problem with the boxes I had in it. Went from a PPG h pattern, to an OS88, then the samsonas when the bigger turbo went on. The OS88 was my favourite, but this 8 speed seems like the best solution if it holds the power. Can’t wait to see more, great job!

[@BrianCrofoot]

I’m very interested to see how this plays out! I went DBW and PPG Billet sequential for my 2.8L R33, but as I get older, the auto gearboxes appeal to me more and more. I only plan to on making ~850whp so I think an 8speed would survive longer in my car than it would in this monster! Keen to see how long it lasts and how well it does!

[@Tango_gtr]

@@BrianCrofoot the new owner told me the current in car videos are on low boost, around 900hp at a guess (couldn’t get the gates to go any lower than 26psi), and it still looks stupid fast. If they handle the power it’ll be a game changer.

Great kit for the GTR guys and a awesome installation. It will be interesting to see how the 8HP70 handles that power with 4 wheel traction. For street diving, the 8 spd is certainly the way to go. The gear changes in drive are similar to my 8HP75 with 8th gear coming just before 80 kph.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

When is "Kens Turbo Lamik Tuning Service" opening up for business? :P

[@kencooper8636]

I am no Turbo Lamik Tuner Andrew. That is your expertise. But changing P1 to Map 2 has made driving much more pleasureable. With the GTR, I would try a TC launch before a transbrake launch to see how the drive train handles the power. Going on my experience, I reckon a transbrake launch would break something with 1,100hp on tap. How does the strength of the GTR diffs and axles compare with the BMW items? What is the diff ratio for the GTR? @@ZeroTo60Tube

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@kencooper8636 the drive train should be ok however time will tell. The sequential that was in it was really savage, however the transbrake would be a good test for both the trans and diffs/axles. its runnung 4.11 diffs.

[@mythos000000025]

Well it's relatively cheap to have the 8hp70 rebuilt to handle 1200hp+(i have an awd 8hp50 in my 335i xdrive) to build it to 1000hp is $3499 and 5k or so for 1400 I think I'm the 8hp50...the 8hp70's handle more ho for the same $ amount t(like 1200 vs 1000). Personally I love mine to the point I'm glad I got it OVER the 6spd. I love my t56 but even without an xhp tune my auto is awesome and stupid fast shifts. I'm not 100%(and I'm sure you can tune with an aftermarket tcu) but it seems like the converter locks after takeoff and basically acts like an automated stick mostly. Engine e braking, etc...just like my t56. That seems like a ni Brainerd. Personally I want to make a v8 powered awd 8hp75 fully irs'd tacoma for street use, paddle shifters and all..road legal Baja truck that's a bit lowered

[@Simpyspec]

I always thought the DCT from the E92 m3 with a 2jz or now 8hp would be a killer setup. quite the comprehensive kit. Sell the samsons and pay for the whole kit, what a Badasss setup. The paddles plus cruising in a 1100hp gtr cruising at like 2k rpm is Awesome!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

The DCT is quite a nice box, they just dont seem to take the punishment the 8hp takes. Not to mention they 8hp is smoother around town. 8hp has so much more clutch surface area which is a big reason why you can beat on it more.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I have seen yours in the group. How are you clucthes holding up to launching? Also been meaning to ask are you using the clutch pedal to launch or launch control stratergy?

[@markthorogood5457]

@@ZeroTo60Tube The clutches are holding up perfectly. I’m launching at 5800rpm @ 1.2bar of boost. 1.7 60ft at the moment, I’m creeping up on launch rpm in ecu so more improvements to come. 😃 Due to my engine not being torquey enough at low rpm to use transbrake (n57 torque converter) I’m launching on virtual clutch just like a manual at present and it’s awesome. I need a higher stall converter for transbrake. It does sound like I get a small slip between gear changes, looking into reduction between shifts at the moment. 👍

[@javic1979]

Im in the process using HP tuners to edit the 8 speed in my VW amarok. made some good improvements by changing the shift points to suit the engine and its made it more comfortable at lower speeds but shaved over 1 second off the 0-100km/h but short shifting 1-2 at 3500 and 2-3 at 3800 and dropping max rpm to 4300rpm in the higher gears to prevent it hitting its 4500 limiter. i find it frustrating how VW never completely tuned this gearbox for the engine because all the shaft speeds above 50% load are set at 6000rpm in a diesel. I really like the way that GTR is shifting and its going to be a good car to live with. the only thing Id be changing is the off throttle fuel cut to idle so the car would have stronger de-acceleration and nicer exhaust note until the torque converter unlocks and rpm drops to idle

[@robertreitalu3563]

Were all backingplates replaced to sonax billet ones or just 2 of them?

[@CBW-iv9zh]

Very interesting, amazing work. When using the HPR shifter and paddles, how do you select reverse, neutral and park?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

So you have up and downshift. When you start the car, it always starts in park. You shift up to go to drive. Double downshift for reverse. To go from reverse or drive, you go through neatrual. You need an additional button to select park while the engine is running. When engine is off, it automatically turns the park lock on.

That looks amazing. I've seen some of these and some other people doing 8HP swaps. The changes to seem a bit more fierce, like a sequential or and old school single clutch. You talk about it adapting. Does this mean it is self learning and those shifts will get smoother? If so, will it get OEM/old scool auto smooth, or is there always some trade-off with these?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Complete trade off. We used the base map from one of our drift car set ups and the first drive was in full agressive mode. On a rear drive car that will chirp tyres. You can see later in the video in auto mode its very smooth.

@@ZeroTo60Tube Very cool yeah i suspect the 7 is from a B58 Supra? I think youve hit the nail on the head here - huge power potential and speed for drags, comfortable cruising for street - win win

[@turbostyler]

Unreal. Would drive way better than a sequential and probably unsettle the car less on the shifts and keep the car on boost better which works way better with small motor big turbo setups. For roll racing and daily driving it would be unreal.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You hit the nail on the head there. On full song, you hardly feel the shifts. They are so fast and as the RPM drop isnt much, there isnt a much of a change in torque going through the trans, so you dont get the slow down feeling of the new gear you get in a manual/sequential.

[@turbostyler]

Spot on, I noticed that in the small hit at around 5500rpm and going through the gears. Right on the turbo threshold and only dropping 500rpm or so each shift. I'm seriously impressed hey.

I set the drive mode output on the TCU to send as an analog voltage over CAN, then used that as EGT1 into the haltech and calibrated it to suit 0.5v for 1, 4v for 8 and inbetween. Then sent that to the IC7 dash as EGT one and renamed the channel to suit!

So just to be clear, you aren't using any sort of torque reduction for the shifts? Is that with an 8HP70? Phenomenal video BTW!!

8hp70, zero torque reduction. Which isnt smart. But we are still trying to find the breaking point on these things. The owner is down to have some fun and push this one. No issues with the trans yet. He did put some 888rs on just after this which helped it hook a lot better than what you see in this video. Mind you those better tyres just put more load on the trans.

[@tptrsn]

Yeah it will be good to see how this goes. At over 1000whp it really is at the higher end of the stock box limits, especially revving so high. Do you what fails on the trackhawks? Are they snapping shafts or slipping clutches?

[@GlasgowGTR]

This is an amazing swap! How does this conversation compare cost wise in comparison to sequential?

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Slightly cheaper than a sequential, if using a transmission specc'd like this one. Would be dearer than sequential if you are pushing more power.
