The sequential shift!! 😍😍 it just looks so good in the 79 with that retro screen. Like it should be if they offered that option 😂 hopefully Crusier Consoles partners with you to build a sweet centre console.
Congrats guys!😍I hope 1HDFTE is next on your list. Too many A750F and A442F's need to be relieved of their high horsepower duties 😂
😅
@@AusJD best kit for FTE is A750F which can't really take the torque and 442 is limited ratios
I agree, now do the fte.
Second this👆🏼I’m sick of my 4speed fte
@@imwalking1690 same here mate. 4 speed isn't going to cut it
This is absolutely epic!!! Everybody in the project needs a mention! Well done everyone! And that last bit at the end! Icing on the cake!
Awesome results guys. Great effort. Now to get one of these setups in my HDJ100 ✌️😎
Guys, this is absolutely bloody epic! Love it. Would love to see some low range action.
Definitely looking at doing this to something I have
Very Impressed!! Love the look of the sequential shifter.. Keeps it lookin neat as!!
At first glance you really can't tell its got an auto.
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
Absolutely amazing work boy's, stumbled upon your video's through Mac and what a funny bunch of legend's you boy's are loving your work!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic job guys. Big congrats! Dutch regards, Nico
nice work getting it up and running, it will be easier the second time round. such great results in all modes.
You’ll see in the next video. We made some tweaks to shift points. The trans is working so well.
Damn man , I love that Yoda..that is a awesome set up. We never get anything cool like that here in the US...such B.S.. Great work fellows !!
Impressed with your attitude towards your work boys, and the honesty and integrity you express through the camera.
First and foremost, congratulations on an epic achievement so far.
And secondly, when will you have a production date for this awesome set up ?
Thanks man, we have all been in business for a long time and there is no advantage is hiding anything. Under promise and over deliver..... simple really. Regarding production date, we have pretty much everything in place to start on the first run of the retail kits. Our plan is to offer 10 kits for the first batch with the intention of speaking closely with each of those buyers and getting detailed feedback, before simply ramping up production numbers. We would like some variation in there, different shifters, different trans tuning and people using the vehicles for different applications. But it will be a first come first serve basis. We can't think of another way to be fair to everyone who has already tried to buy one. However the reason we used mac for the first conversion is the type of driving he does and the power his car makes. We want to be sure these will hold up to his abuse and that will give us an idea on what we can confidently recomend the kit for. We do still need to make some changes to his car before his trip. But in the meantime he will be on the road testing normal manorisms and how the transmission behaves for normal use....... well that was the plan anyway. After collection he just turned it up to full power and starting beating on it straight away.... we definitely chose the right guy to torture test it. Lastly we do not want to be taking payments for kits and then have customers waiting extended periods for delivery. We will keep everyone updated as anything unfolds.
keen to see Mac throw this around!
Great job guys!!!!
Unreal!!!!! Great work boys
Awesome guys, you guys will be very very busy forever.
shifts very nice , bloody great work should sell a truck load of them kits
Congratulations...waiting for 1hdfte with a442f and a750f...very interested for a lot of people....gasss!
Fantastic conversion. Car sounds rad! 👌 🔥
I see you have used same place to hide Lamik TCU as I did in my E92 👍
Glad to see this working so well out of the box 📦
Man this car is making some power! You feel like you are in a monster truck! The lamik worked so well. It’s a little different power curve to the diesels the lamik normally runs on, but so far so good.
Also thank you for help back in 2021/2022 getting the lamik in my hands. It’s been a life changer!
The 8HP70 appears to certainly change the drivability of a car or in this case truck. Great conversion. It will be interesting to see how it handles the torque of the diesel over time. Another great video Andrew.
Fingers crossed! Not just the crazy torque of this fairly modified one, but the right foot which happens to be connected to its owner is also of concern.......
Bloody epic! Brace yourself lads the 79series game just changed 🔥
Bloody awsome can't wait to see more
You truly are the 8hp man ahah
Getting my m54 E53 in few days back may have to get this swap
Bloody love your work lads
That's great work guys, I don't own a 79 but I follow Mac and that's perfect.
Ha! Man I also don’t own a 79 but after this find myself wanting one…. Even the dude at red rooster said how cool it was. Haha
@Zero To 60 well it is a cool truck that's for sure.
Great video, been thinking of a 8-spd myself for a project, Turbolamik do make a good product. On a sidenote, Mac's mullet is MAGNIFICENT, just wanted to get that ouit there :D
Great stuff, looks the goods. Was funny watching the video and recognising where you're driving as its 5 mins from my house.
No way!
Wicked video! I love actually seeing the car driving with the computer on.
I really want one! Need to save my pennys
The telemtry the Lamik give you access to inside the transmission really is next level. Which is why it works so well compared to other controllers.
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!!!
Thanks David. We are hoping to get to work on the 1hd kits soon.
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. :)
Absolutely beautiful.
Would like to see it on the beach or on some tracks in low range to see how the temps go
Yeah the boys! Oil coolers in a too spot too 🤙.
Always worth watching to the end!! Haha great success!!
He loves it 😂
I wonder how many will miss those end clips 😛
Yeah alright ill get one this is way too cool
Love the shifter 👌
Awesome mate awesome so happy for you mate
Awesome work guys! I’d be keen on getting one in my ute. Have blown up 3 Toyota gearboxes in my 21 model single cab.
Well let’s see how mac goes with it.
For all the 79 owners who have always said the 5-speed manual is fine, that's all you need, but not any more. This is what the 79 should have had as an option, bloody Toyota.
In the production stage, these mods would have cost a lot less, but it gives guys like you to fix something that Toyota should have done, well done.
Well done Brock
Seems smooth as hell. Would the lamic controll the bmw transfer case if you put it in say an e53?
so many youtubers overuse the term "frothing", but this is 1 place it well & truly belongs
Good work boys. Keen to take it for a spin
We are keen to hear what you think of it......
i really like the shifter straright rally looking lol
Man it’s freaking awesome the feedback it gives. Also how much you just smash it through the gears!
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
That’s sick guys
Killer! Congrats!! Very exciting!
I mean you knew it was going to work! Thanks for following our journey greg! Hope your ride is treating you well.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I'm actually working with "JSRTuning" just recently (Like a week so far) trying to figure out the "Turkey sounds" or weird Surge like problems I've had since I put in my 17t's. So hope is on the horizon.
@@friguy4444 those sounds are normally from BOV's not opening early enough. They stay closed and you get the flutter sound.
Congrats guys big job
Thanks man! Properly big project. Also I really wanna organise a meet up. It’s been too long!
@@ZeroTo60Tube time flies! keen as for a meetup and some track time, I'm overdue for upgrades :)
great job
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.
Wow that’s awesome where can l get one for my 79 l should’ve said when can l get one.
Wow! Solid effort guys well deserved drive and results.
There is a mob in South Africa also doing the 8 speed in dualcabs on youtube. Maybe see what parts they use also.
This will change Australia this conversion.
A question with this would be knocking the gear stick when bouncing around off road or the passenger leans over to change the stereo or so. Can it accidentally be bumped into park or reverse. Still 10/10
Like an oem electronic shifter, this has plenty of safety programmed in to it, so you can't accidently do something.
Great job guys ✔
I heard some patrols being converted to the bmw diesel engine too
Yeah I think the old M57 is definitely the engine swap of choice when value is a concern. Trying to talk brock in to doing his ranger.
First thing Mac does is paint that trans cooler black haha. Mint job how they should be from factory
I’ve got a jzs171 crown wagon, comes factory with a 1jz vvti turbo motor and the biggest let down about the car is the four speed auto. Would love to do this conversion to it to livin it up, car even has shift buttons on the steering wheel from factory it’s a match made in heaven 😅
We have the 1j adapter plates on 8speed.au if you want to check them out. We also have a 1j and 2j in the shop right now for the 8speed swaps. Vids to follow.
An update if the fuel consumption improves would be great as well
Revs are reduced in top gear at highway speeds compared with the manual so I would say it's a given
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.
czcams.com/video/waalvQSdZTQ/video.html here you go :P
Epic nice work!
Real nice! When are we doing your cruiser?
Very nice truck
Proud of you boys
Thanks Dylan!
thats gonna be a weapon
Book me in for my conversion on my 79 Andrew! Looks epic
Completely forgot you had one. We got you.
Great work, keep the content on this project coming 👍Will these kits be offered in DIY form? With detailed instructions and tech support?
Yes it will, not written instructions, but a video series showing how to do it yourself.
Next you should put in power windows, just to make the 110k vehicle feel like it's new
I want to see Macka test it 😆👍🏻
This sounds like it may be great 🤔🤔🤔
Awesome work guys. Should definitely talk to cruiser consoles or one of those companies make you one to suit and a Park button incorporated
Yeah, well with the console and oem style shifter it’s all incorporated on the shifter. You can choose one of three modes and they have a park button. Looking at using the 2020 Toyota supra shifter.
I want one in my 200 series!!!!
Want to put an 8HP in my 1hd-fte Troopy and 100 series.
I would be interested to see where this sits price wise, the only reason I sold my 79 twin cab was the transmission was so under geared and the conversions on offer at the time were not what I was after.
Looking forward to pricing.
Still on track for what we mentioned in the first video. $20-$24k installed for this exact setup.
Kinda wanna see a destruction/abuse use to see if it holds up tbh lol, this trans intrigues me, i know its customers car its tricky
Magnetic sim racing paddle shifters would be great for these set ups.
Not a bad idea
Mannnn i just like that truck 💚💚🇧🇩
I think after this you should hand over the X5 to Mac for him to work his magic. Bit of lift, bit of poke and maybe some 35s? 😂
Ohhh my. Imagine that. Haha
Book me in!! 😁👌
Solid car. Here in kenya its first choice for safri
Are there many of them over in Kenya?
So want this ❤
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.
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
not yet, but soon
Was waiting to hear it was an 8 speed eaton
Awesome
Will these conversations ever be available for the 1hz (105 series)
Eventually yes! We’re gonna need another cnc machine……….
Possible to do this on ford barra turbo ?
Crazy
Sweet
we need more video of that diesel V8 roaring pleaaaase
Re the 200 lack of engine braking, add a TC lock up controller and its a different animal.
Not perfect but usable
Absoluetly. My concern with giving average joe the option to lock the coverter is them forgetting to unlock it.
Congratulations good job .I would like to know which company makes this automatic transmission .
Made by ZF for BMW. We specifically like the BMW version.
so fucking cool guys, well done
I've never clicked on a video so fast😂
With the wiring connecting it to the ecu does it use a canbus or the digital signals direct from the TPS and map sensor ?
The Lamik Control can do canbus or analogue signals.
@@ZeroTo60Tube In the 79 series is it over the canbus ?
Wow I just watched it twice I want on please
What do you think of this style of shifter?
Love your work! I 8 speed converted my old girl 12 months ago but didn't run the Lamik. Lamik looks good!
Which controller did you use? I have tried to get as much feedback as possible on other options so keen to hear any thoughts?
@@ZeroTo60Tube are you guys at leeson? I'll pop in tomorrow on my way home 😀
@@steveshortt90 yep that’s us….
@Zero To 60 legend I'll come see ya around 3.30. Cheers
Cheers for the chat mate. Will definitely keep in touch for upcoming projects. Your 3D scanner setup is MINT 👌
@zero to 60 sign me up for a 1hdfte adapter plate so I can get rid of the manual box in my fte series 4 patrol
Did you get stock tail shafts to fit? Or will they be usable in final design?
Retail kit will use stock shafts….. well that’s the plan.
A suggestion re park on a steep hill and jumping out - yes, often has to be done. But the ease of selecting drive by just touching the lever could lead to a dramatic issue. Needs some sort of park lock safety mechanism. It did seem a bit like the 200 autos - didn't get out of 6th gear and doesn't need 1st much, so are 8 ratios overkill? Otherwise a fantastic gearbox and TC pairing.
The park lock works like any late model oem car. You must have your foot on the brake to get it out of park. It will auto engage park when you turn the engine off. It stays in the park lock when you start the engine. And its very different to the 200 series, once you learn a bit more about modern electronic automatics it will make more sense to you.
@@ZeroTo60Tube OK, that makes sense. It wasn't obvious in the video.
Hi mate,
I got a very quick question I have dis2 land rover I planning to put om606 mechanical and was looking for gearbox options and would love to use same system like yours zf8hp the problem as my engine is going be mechanical how you can control gearbox what would be your best advice
Yes, this tcu can be setup to work with a mechanical diesel
Very excited for you blokes! Question around high loads, ie in deep sand. I know should be using Low-range for sand/beach work, but with minimal convertor slip, is the sand going to load up clutch pack holding torque and slip? Hoping the FTE kit is next!!
So we have used this trans is a car making around 900nm on sand with no problems. However it was running smaller tyres. That said we are not expecting any issues in Mac’s on sand. However we do want to load to
Maximum cgvm and hit some long hills. Or maybe tow a couple of big jet skis through some soft sand. Testing to continue over the coming weeks.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks, will be watching with interest! Cheers.
I’d definitely have the X5 shifter in there
Proper shifter and some paddles would be my choice!
WoW !
That’s what I said!
Hey guys, I see the 100 series in the background. Anything you recommend doing to the A750F trans? I've just put a transgo shiftkit, Boost Valve and Accumulator Piston in my HDJ100 but hoping to firm it up a bit as planning on some mild power upgrades. Had a look at the SLU solenoid but it's not adjustable. Any tips greatly appreciated.
Honestly i dont have any experience with them. That car in the background is a turbo setup and the trans has been built, its actually getting a refresh at the moment. After looking at that car here, seeing it on the dyno and the cost of the built trans is seems silly compared to a 8hp. We will be getting on to the 100 series kits soon btw.
