Can't tell you how much I appreciate this mate. You've provided more information in this 20 minute video than Dawid has provided in the last two years

I’m the builder at Pure Drivetrain Solutions, built around 500+ 8hp trans here in the states, our a90 program is going strong with the 8hp51 holding well over 1000 hp! I’m glad to see the cult following zf has in Australia, I wish the shipping wasn’t so tough price wise. Build kits coming soon for international guys!

Thank you so much for these videos. Currently putting an 8hp45 mated to 5.7l hemi inside of a E92.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a conversation with myself for that long! Haha Good work!!

Very nice informative video. We did our first HP90 swap in 2019 into a 2012 Challenger. Last night just finished a HP90 into a 2006 Chrysler. These transmissions are very nice.

I’ve just ordered my 2wd 8hp70 N57. Going into a 2004 IS300 with 630hp but can now turn it up to 800hp once the 8hp is installed and running in the future.

This was an insane info dump. It would have taken a long time to gather and learn all this info from different sources. Thank you!

[alexblackham]

You answered so many questions for me when I put my 8hp45 into my E82 135i, huge respect for everything you have to say! Currently running 370 ft lbs of torque @ 18 psi and turning the boost up, will let you know how much it can take before I swap out the 8hp45 for the 8hp70

Nice video, I think the trans would be great in a older land cruiser or patrol where a 4 speed is used, the extra ratios would help the under powered petrol motors, you probably could keep the factory diff ratios when changing up to a bigger tyre and depending on diff ratio ect you could maybe have a 1st gear in low range that will just crawl.

I'm just starting my journey of research on these boxes. My end goal is an M60B40 & 8HPxx in an E34 Touring. It's not going racing, it's a daily driver that might hit the Autobahn every now and again. So I'm not expecting much more than 450Nm.

I'm so thankful for people like you, great video and great explanation. Greetings from Croatia!

[paasosentomi]

i found you when i got an idea of 8hp swapping my 06 audi a4 3.0tdiq.. i have a 6hp in there now but there seems to be nobody who done it yet. i have enough power in it now that the trans is a limiting factor and the 8hp would be a sick option to push the car further.

Brilliant & informative. I have an old Rover SD1 restoration that had no engine or (auto) box so have been thinking of alternatives to the GM180 originally fitted. It's going to have a standard, initially, 3.9V8 fitted (I have one lying around 😀 ) and think the basic(ish) version of the 8HP will make such a difference to the drive (and economy!!). Thanks for this

[sbeezynukka]

This is my favorite transmission so far! No Lamik yet just XHP Stg3

[FairladyS]

And here's me who put a 4L85 with aftermarket control behind a LS3 for a circuit car which ended up with no engine braking at all. Great in a straight line but rubbish on the over run. First time here, brilliant.

[Russell_and_Rosko]

Such a cool transmission. Thanks for the info and the kit / install options

[dodgedart]

I am finishing up my 8hp51 install now! 535i in the USA will update you when I hit the track next weekend! Definitely about that lamik life!

[johannyrodriguez]

I'm gonna keep the comment short and simple but what you are doing is absolutely awesome, nuff said

[isaacshively]

What a wealth of knowledge & a master communicator, definitely worth a follow 👌

[Xrocks]

I'd love this type of transmission in my r33 gtst. Figure it would be easier to do since it's rwd and can keep the car spooling while also getting a bit better mileage.
