TURBO LAMIK 8HP70 NISSAN S15 SILVIA IS FINALLY DONE!

Its been 6 months in the making, but Brock finally got his S15 rolling under its own power again and in typical Brock fashion he has to torture test it immediately....... HELL YEAH BROTHER!

Nice to see brock and dan taking kindly to the YouTube side of stuff! Getting to experience this level of builds through video is awesome.

[harryperfors]

That car is sick. All the right parts, looks epic. Well done guys.

Cracking the gate on the transbrake 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻Job well done Brock! such an epic car!

[kencooper]

Great to see another successful 8HP conversion completed by you guys. It will be good to hear Brock's comments when he takes it for a run on the street for the first time. I can't wait to get an 8HP75 in my car but I guess I will have to wait until I get my car running again.

These 8speed swaps are turning out sooo good man. Hope I can have my gs300 boosted by next year and then 8speed swap it some day 👌. Great content. Stay Patient, Stay Humble ✌️😎

Never driven an S15 but I've always wanted to. And with an 8 speed trans it must be a scalpel to drive! It's got to be one of the most beautiful cars when done this way! Along with the Mazda RX-7 . I also learned how a trans brake works this video! Always learn something every vid. Hey I see by Brock's Tatty on his arm that he's a big Donnie Iris fan! Awesome! I love that song "ALeah"!! Great driving tune for sure top 20. Okay I have no idea as to what his Tatty means lol. Sorry if I got it way off! Besides I think the song's actually AhLeah. Rock on Gentlemen!!

[skaterboy]

More wiring and initial tune setup for analog stuff would be nice to see and understand! Especially doing an initial tune setup to prepare it for adaptations

[pugs]

Happy to see more 8hp goodness. Maybe a 2j and 8hp will find it's way into my e39 some day when the m62 dies

[auszman]

Those Rims look fantastic. The car looks awesome with a mix of Nissan, Toyota and BMW tech. It'll adapt itself I'm sure LOFLMAO...

[dustinbuechel]

Do you have to use a trans cooler with the 8hp? How are the temps with one? I wont be using mine for drifting more roll racing than anything. Thanks!

[adamwhite]

Saw Brock ‘testing’ the S15 the other day outside your workshop. Man this thing is a beast 👌🏼

[Lev]

Awesome stuff. Congrats

Touring looks great also

[matsjonemunthesx]

Very cool, did you have to go DBW or is it still Drive by cable, and works well that way?

[glennarnold]

well done guys the skys the limit brock looks like a kid in a candy store.Andrew i figured out my rear yoke problem i used the yoke from my 6hp19 e90 320i transmission and fitted it to my fg 6hp26 transmission same spline and captive nut so my flex joint will now bolt up to my tailshaft all i have to do is drill out the locator hole on the front of the tailshaft from 14mm to 16mm to suite the ford transmission no tail shaft cut n shut and the bmw rear crossmember lines up with the ford rear mount just needs 2 new holes for the mount a small modification to the front cross member and the fg turbo engine will fit in i use the bmw gear linkage and this means i can use factory shifter cheers from broken hill

[emersonflores]

Quick question have you guys seen the power limit to these 8hp70. Doing mk4 swap made 750HP and 585Tq left more power on the table.

[duanerdyer]

Was that launch with the stock converter?

[HWRJZ]

Damn, I’ve just not long completed a tr6060 swap on my jzx100 but this is already making me want to change.

[johnbarr]

Watching Florida
My Sierra k24 8hp50 all running good

In the AWD tail-housings with Torsen center diffs, what's the Torsen ratio and how strong are they? Can you get stronger ones with different Torsen ratios? Could you adapt the tail housing with custom machined parts to send two jackshafts back up the front in order to convert the transmission into a Torsen-equipped transaxle? I know there are already AWD version with a front diff near the bell housing, but I'm considering doing it MY way in order to get the CV axles as far forward as possible, and also at whatever height I want to put them.

The idea is to have the trans 5 inches off the ground (car frame rails 4 inches off) while the CVs are parallel to the ground on a 27-inch tall tire, and the trans as far back of the axle centerline as I can reasonably get. Do you think it's worth it or should I just stick with the typical single jackshaft to front bell housing diff setup? If so, what final drive ratios are available for that carrier, and are there high-bias Torsen diffs available that can handle high HP in a "heavy" car for it?

[bavarianhero]

Yes sir!

Good ol’ Nissan, that’s why axles didn’t break lol
