DCT conversion updates

[Gareth87]

Hey all,

Keen to know if there have been any further advances or anyone doing dct conversions yet?

I'm seeing more stand alone tranmission ecus around.. but not many conversions yet.

I posted last year about potentially doing this behind my FJ20 which currently has a 34 NEO box on it.

Surely the tech will become more available and cheaper with time.

Anyone?

I was going to install my DCT kit after the new 3.2 was dialled in on the 5 speed, but after it made 800hp at 4900rpm on the hub dyno before lifting the head, I'm thinking it's just going to explode the DCT. I'll be selling my whole kit soon and going built auto.

After talking with some people experienced with the DCT box in race cars, they've convinced me the box will hold the power if I put a set of clutches and baskets in. So it's getting that, a new exhaust and rear turbine housing, Nexus R5 and rewire, then DCT install.

What controller are you going to use Terry?

I have a HTG GCU.

Are you going to use their shifter assembly aswell? Are you using the domiwerks adaptor?

I have been reading into this conversion for something different from the th400 i have in it at the moment.

I've got an M3 shifter and Adamat RB adaptor, with a HPR transfer adaptor. Bought the full kit from HPR-tuning.

I'm going a little different route and going the 8hp but still with the adamat and hpr adaptors.

Subscribing to this thread cos I’m keen to do a 8HP75 conversion at some point in an R32. Got the 8HP70 in my SQ5 and love it in standard form.

Are you going to have to mod the tunnel at all with a 8hp? I have one sitting there out of an amarok and it looks massive

From reading the supplied docs from HPR a small amount of massaging is required predominantly in vicinity of the transfer case. And a small bit where the 8hp breather is.

I'll start a new thread for 8hp or post my build thread to prevent from taking over the dct thread. I'll post link shortly.
