DCT / ZF Auto Conversion

Hi,

I’m in the process of swapping in a 8HP70 auto box in my supra. Curious on how many here that has done either of these conversions:

• Getrag DCT, m3/4 any generation 

• ZF 8HP70 

 

How was it, any issues or struggles and what would you do differently if you did it again?

 

 Thankful for any input on this swap.

Yup! Sorry i haven’t been so active on here but yeah, i managed to get it working quite nicely. ✌️😁

 

It is a surprisingly easy swap, the hardest is probably the tuning of the gearbox 🤷🏼‍♂️. There is a few who have swapped to an 8hp transmission who are able to use the OEM TCU even but i went full standalone for my car. 💯😁

What route did you take? 8HP70 or DCT?  And what diff did you use?  With stock auto diff i can imagine the first gears are short and do not put enough load on the engine to get the turbos to spool up fast. 

Last august I bought an Supra RZ-S with an auto box, at this point i'm doing some research which route to take :D. 

 

Btw you have any vids of your conversion? 😄
