It took me about 15 sec to realize that he speaks English in this video.

Finally someone that shows the wiring of this install! So many tutorials but everyone skips wiring. Will backup this video to my hard-drive :))

This is awesome! I was amazed how quick it is on full throttle.

That's a sick mod! This HP8 transmission fits like a glove to this e36.

56 minutes and 46 seconds of pure gold, I love this build! 💪🏼

If you must turn a perfectly fine manual into an automatic then this is the way to do it.

Bro did this work all by himself like it was piece of cake 😅

[mostafaabubaker]

I'm really glad to finally see this project come into fruition!

Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford shoving an 8HP into my E34!

Thanks a lot for the entertainment, Pazi!

I dream stuff like this, he doing this type of thing in real life, very cool.
This gearbox changes so quick and smooth in the video.

Nice thorough video with important complementary details on the swap. Congrats on getting it done and running and thank you for sharing 🙂

[darek]

Finally a build that doesn't just skip the wiring part. Thank you.

[sorekuk]

Thank you so much for this awesome Gauge.S 8HP CanTCU integration and testing.

It looks really awesome in your car!

[shotty.]

this video is such a good catharsis for my endless 8hp swap dreams. Maybe into one of my own old beamers or an rx chassis eventually 👨🏽‍💻 thank you for this! fantastic stuff

[oOTevtronOo]

Great video as always. I will do this in a few years when I can buy 8HP cheap from junkyard

[adli]

Amazing work Pazi! You should have made it to a 1hr 30mins video. We wouldn't mind😆🤙🏼

[rotorblade]

the manual gearbox is for fun and lower costs but the 8hp has several important advantages: very quick shifts, optimized engagement of clutches, optimized rev matching, over-rev protection, smooth start off possibly other benefits

[firsttodie]

OMG that engine is going insaaaane! :D crazy
I also didnt expect that transmition to shift so quick. impresive.

[kujtek]

54:09 lovely sound, people want more of it!!!!

[markosaarela]

Ne piirtää jollon liitua..

Respect. Jää jonneilta tekemättä ja parilta veetiltäkin.

Aika julmasti pitää olla kokemusta, että vetelee piuhat ja saa tuon paketin toimimaan 😅
