Looking into it soon!
Ok great.
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?
Thats right yes, it will work a treat with that engine
Doing the conversion on my crown here in Sweden and got some answers on questions from Paul, really appreciate it! :)
Happy to help!
Do you have to wait for it to downshift 3 times when you put your foot down?
Hi awesome work guys, is it possible do it for Porsche 997 turbo with tip gears
No it’s not.
I’m in the US, what are my options other than shipping the car overseas?
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.
Does any zf8hp work or do you need to use the mk5 Supra one?
We normally use the 8hp70 from a bmw.
Will a land rover shifter work well with the lamik?
See here manual.turbolamik.eu/SupportedCANSelectors.html
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👌
Would you recommend this over a 7 speed dct?
Definitely yes.
CanTCU > Turbolamik, no?
What do you mean?
@@Whifbitzhe’s asking/saying if CanTCU is better
Looks like a great alternative to manual conversion. How much power can this handle?
We’ve tested them to 850bhp so far. They can be upgraded if you need them to handle more power.
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?
We can supply used N57 gearboxes if needed.
@Whifbitz for how much total shipped to Florida? Zip code 33844
@@shadyshinichi2JZthe charger/challenger uses the 8hp70
What was the donor car of that ZF8HP ?
It came out of a BMW with an N57 engine.
@@Whifbitz so longer 8th gear for highway driving ?
Right, I'm sold!!
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?
We can do that yes.
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.
They can be made for those gearboxes but I think they’re quite big so might not fit in the tunnel very well.
you need an N57 ZF 8hp70.
Can you talk about suitable differentials, would A02B be ok or does it need to be closer to 3.26?
The car in the video had the original 3.7 ratio fitted and works just fine.
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.
This car uses the original 3.7 ratio.
@@Whifbitz what is the best rear diff ratio to use for the mkiv supra?
I want the swap for a 1uz vvti but nobody does it.
It’s available yes.
Is there a conversion kit to have the ZF 8 speed to be fitting onto a EVO X with a SST Transmission?
Sorry no there isn't
You'd be better off looking into a VW DSG swap or sequential for the Evo x platform since the transmission is mounted transversely.
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 👏👏👏
Slight adjustment with a hammer, nothing major.
@@Whifbitz thank you! :)
Would you fit one of these to a V10 M5/M6?
We could yes, that will transform it.
do paddles not fit on an oem supra wheel?
No they don’t.
Is it possible to install the same transmission also on 04 lexus gs300 2jz ge?🎉❤🎉
Yes it is
@Whifbitz may I ask what the estimated cost is for the transmission in gs?
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 ?
We’ve only ever tested them to 8000rpm so far.
Torque is what limits transmissions not RPM. They just wanted to tell you their engine revs higher.
@@466rudy6actually torque converter gearboxes like the 8hp have a rpm limit (I’ve seen 8400 so far)
Nice
Thanks
getting close.... Only a matter of time until the boat anchor comes out of the engine bay and gets replaced with a S58.
That would be a big job to get one of those to fit.
What's the weight difference between the two engines?
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.
Right, this guy forgets that with 9mm lift cams a pocket port and proper valve job the cylinder head supports 1200rwhp without losing low rpm air velocity. 9mm of lift is also very mild and allows for very stable valve train at high rpm (8-9k). Both motors have the ability to make torque so early they bend rods or cause block distortion, the nice thing is that there are aftermarket blocks for the 2j that address this and provide a level of reliability with low end torque that you cant on an s58 yet.
that is incredible. very practical but also changes the dynamic of the car for better while being very fun. grade it an A+
Thanks 😎
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
If it uses the same bell housing as LS engines yes.
