CANTCU AFAIK requires specific gearboxes, not just any 8HP, so be sure about that first.
cheers stevie i will make sure i get the right one
.i think with ca tcu you donrt have to go near the mechatronics like you do with htg and turbolamik
Turbo Lamik I think is a CAN based controller that also runs the box without wiring modifications from what I gather, which is a very popular choice.
HTG that Mark uses, you must re-wire the box internals. That has some pros, and many obvious cons. Some people seem to love the HTG controller....some hate it.
DCT would still be a very viable option for you, especially if using MaxxECU, as it can directly run the box without any other nonsense. I don't believe they can do the 8HP like that yet.
8HP's are just available everywhere and quite cheaply. And must admit I'd prefer a torque converter auto like that myself if doing such a swap. I'd love to, I'm just not convinced any of them would be strong enough for me to take the risk.
the availability of the 8hp is the winner here stevie and the 8sp auto is a big seller to me for a tootle about
Motec.....don't like that M1 platform at all.
