mwilkinson Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 How have I missed this thread. Just read it all. Very impressive setup. This is the first auto setup that has made me think about changing from manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biologist Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Any updates? I would like to try this in the states. I have ProEFI so it should be able to control it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Does this run DBW or is it not really of any benefit on this conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Does this run DBW or is it not really of any benefit on this conversion? We havnt used DBW on it yet as we are trying to get it to drive as nice as possible on a cable throttle body first DBW would benefit as it could blip the down changes and close the throttle during upshifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 That's good to know. I'll stick with my plans to fit DBW then. Any ideas how much this conversion will cost yet? Looking online for those Autoboxes, they're very rare. I didn't see any for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Lee, is there any reason you haven't used the factory 8 speed controller and talked to it over CAN BUS? I suspect someone has already asked this, but I couldn't see the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect someone has already asked this, but I couldn't see the answer. We did look at this and wanted to do it but are reliant on syvecs sorting the canbus side out. Unfortunately they are not in a position to do it at the moment but hope that they will at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blythmrk Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) No idea what it sold for but looking at the pics the syvecs had gone. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?351485-Supra-breaking-on-copart Edited March 17, 2019 by blythmrk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
