8HP swap?

[hemi8]

Just need a smart EE like Bob to hash out the electrical side to figure out how to integrate the trans controller/ecu to the GN harness and what the controller settings should be. The TurboLamik company is in Poland so they aren’t going to be much help. FAST XFI is not listed as a supported ECU, so the needed inputs for MAP, TPS, brake pedal have to be wired into the unit. Holley ECU is supported, but who would answer setup and problem solving questions, I envision Holley pointing to TurboLamik and vise versa. Just like Autocad, that’s a Windows issue, no that’s a Autocad issue, blah blah blah. I think the mechanical aspect of the swap is supported well enough but does it fit in the tunnel and how exactly do you wire it up and properly tune it? May just have to sit back and wait for aftermarket to catch up.

Bobs our 4L80E guy so he's gonna need to have someone really push his buttons to also tackle this, first someone will actually have to buy and get all these parts, then you'll need to say things like this to him.....

"Bob can't do it, 4L80E is like Windows 95 vs 8HP70+" to bait him in and anger every fiber of those engineering genes to prove you wrong. LOL

Ya kinda say right there.
5.0 1st
Now pulling rear gear would really need way below a 3.08
So the rear doesnt help the car at all.
This tranny is not for the buick world
But one can put anything in anything with enough money.

I agree. The rear gear would then be too high and would lug the little V6 down on the highway.

Hellcat uses a 2.62 gear so yeah, 3.42 is waay high. The conversion cost keeps rising.

2nd gear starts lol

Be a total rethink of combo and tuning. Tighter converter short shift to 2nd maybe. The buy in to control is steep

You can actually launch in 2nd (3.14) with the Maxx Ecu or stand alone software. 190lbs w converter is pretty light for the ZF 8HP a giant trans, 175lbs for TH400 w converter. Trans tuning and the driveshaft seem like other obstacles that will require delicate solutions for or you'll be out way more money and time.
