79 SERIES 8 SPEED CONVERSION FIRST DRIVE.... JUST WOW!!!!

Cheers for the effort guys!! So bloody stoked! Stay tuned for some testing on tj and mac tube!

With the wiring connecting it to the ecu does it use a canbus or the digital signals direct from the TPS and map sensor ?

Putting an 8hp70 in a 67 mustang trans am car vintage racer. boss 302 engine. its going to be great. I need blueprints of the bell housing for the dodge ram version of the ZF 8HP70 Transmission. Anyone know where this could be obtained?

We don’t get these Toyota’s in the USA, what engine does it have, sounds very stout with that turbo whistle.

You talk too much. Just get to it

I saw your first video on this great idea and to see it all coming to fruition is awesome and I’m hopeful to have this in my 79 congratulations

Hey guys, in regard to the 79 series conversion, are you able to proved an 8 speed for the older Hdj79.
Look forward to any i fo or feed back. Cheers Rob

Hi, I’ve got LC76 with 4L V6 petrol, would this work in my case, even when the petrol engine is not so torquey? Just asking, I’m from Europe and I doubt that anybody would be able to actually do this swap here. Just interested if it is technically possible.

Solid car. Here in kenya its first choice for safri

The characteristics of the tranny shifting reminds me of my old 2008 Audi Q7 which had the 4.2 litre V8 twin turbo diesel and a 6 speed “tiptronic” auto.
The engine braking of the Audi was fantastic, smart and always in the gear where you wanted it.
Engine braking during long decents was fantastic and rarely did I need to ride the brake.
Once you guys have a flappy paddle steering wheel, I believe it will be on a level or perhaps better than what Europe can make.
Congrats on an impressive transmission.
No doubt I will be contacting you guys soon.

Absolutely beautiful.

Are you going to put an 8HP into the Coaster?

Hey guys what's the maximum HP and Torque on the BMW 8hp75 on stock internals

What's the maximum torque this trans can cope with? It would be interesting to put one behind a Cummins

For what is worth you have your self a gold mine are you coming to America? It will exploded

G'day guys Keith Kirkman here Very interested in the 8 speed for my 07 78series Any chance of a phone number so we can have a yarn cheers

Will this affect the Toyota warranty 😮

This land cruiser with an automatic trans is my dream car, shame it's way to much money for me buying one manual and making the conversion.

100 grand for a 79 series cruiser and Toyota cant even make the back doors right? Whats with the bloody wheel arch when theres no wheel ?

Love the shifter 👌

Very nice truck

where r you guys located have a 8hp70x behind a m57 patrol would u be keen on tuning it. running turbolamik and locate in vicd

what was the 0-100km time comparison with the auto box in?

At last, you've made a vehicle for a bunch of unco posers that want to pretend they can drive a real car.
I can see a horde of real estate salesmen, marketing executives, and interior designers lining up to buy one so they can get all rugged down at the golf course.

This transmission swap has me enthused.

Well done Brock

Haha. So you downgraded to an auto

Possible to do this on ford barra turbo ?

I agree with all the positive comments below, you guys have done an amazing job!!! Particularly impressed with the technology overall, but how you go from billets of ally to adaptor plates is impressive!!. As a happy owner of a 100 Series 1HDFTE Gturbo-Red Wheel, +30's, PDIFMIC etc, etc 235kw/735Nm and a re-worked A750F box ( by GTurbo), towing 3T, I would still save the $$$ for this conversion. I'll keep watching!!!

Need to do a bend in the brake pedal bar to move it more central with a larger brake pedal..

How does having this auto effect the tune of the car? Big turbo - 8th gear 1500rpm down the highway off boost? How does that work?

Obviously everyone’s going to be keen to see the results from the first trip with it getting some harsh treatment and I’m curious as to how the fuel consumption figures will compare as currently they ain’t great

Mannnn i just like that truck 💚💚🇧🇩

Said 10 speed 2 weeks ago

We have a 6L80 on a FJ80, it is a dream car

Was waiting to hear it was an 8 speed eaton

we need more video of that diesel V8 roaring pleaaaase <3

Ur welcome

I think one of these would be a nice upgrade in a Ford Ranger over the 6R80.

Would like to see it on the beach or on some tracks in low range to see how the temps go

Luv it quality content as usual
Taking Sierra k24 8hp to ford nationals
14 hrs lol

Great stuff, looks the goods. Was funny watching the video and recognising where you're driving as its 5 mins from my house.

Can you make one for the 1fz

Want to put an 8HP in my 1hd-fte Troopy and 100 series.

Yeah alright ill get one this is way too cool

Wow what is the cost to have the zf put in a 79 ?

Why is there so much hate for bigger tyres, took my GU from 32/33's to 35's, better fuel economy and millage. Yes, gears are longer but we have diesels, learn to drive them.

I noticed you had some conserns with the converter etc since he was running 37" tires. A suggestion could be to opt for the Land rover discovery 4 8hp70 diesel gearbox. The converter is much bigger and those cars are designed to be pulling 3.5 tonnes trailer etc. Going this route in my patrol as we speak. :)

The way the 79 should have come from the factory.

shifts very nice , bloody great work should sell a truck load of them kits
