- SETTING UP THE 8 SPEED TCU CLUTCH PEDAL - WALK THROUGH
We filmed this video back at the start of the year, but with all the madness going on behind the camera we have only just had a chance to get it edited. It's intended as a full guide for Turbo Lamik TCU users to be able to get thier virtual clutch feeling and reacting like a normal manual clutch for both clutch kicks and fast, high load take offs.
****AS A FEW CUSTOMERS HAVE NOW CONTACTED US. THE FIRST VERSION MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO WAS NEVER SOLD. IF YOU BOUGHT ONE FROM 8SPEED, YOU GOT THE UPDATE.
The clutch emaultor kits we use are available here - www.8speed.au/....

Hey Man ! Hope you doing well, please can you make n54 content again ? Your channel is just amazing !
I agree
I agree
Nice to see another video again after the long wait. I hope you are doing well and everything is alright. Had to much going on myself but I'm very happy to see you are still around 😊👍
This is what makes you guys different to others, simply explaining how it works and how to make it work in language that everyone can understand, top job
We try and show the working process, not just how to do it. Definitely helps me understand things when im trying to learn.
Love the 8hp content on this channel, if I had the money I’d be putting one in my f body Camaro!
That would be cool!
Zero to 60 where have you been 🥺
working.... alot. however if you havent seen it check the spoolstreet thread.
Great fine tuning guys. Thanks for sharing. Hope you're still doing well, down under. Dutch regards, Nico
Thanks so much! Man its been a crappy 15 months. Being busy with work has probabaly been a life saver. I will update the spoolstreet thread soon.
Thank you, my friends. You are very creative men with your friends teem , I very much enjoy to watching your edits from Kuwait. You have all my respect and thanks. for all info
Hi Andrew, just incase you never tried it...
With tunerpro, if you run a second screen you can drag the 2D or 3D table to screen two. This helps with visualising and smoothing ramps whilst working on tables.
I find it helpful 👍
Cheers great video !
Thanks for the tip!
As always - AWESOME content guys
Thanks again!
We would love to have them in our store@@ZeroTo60Tube
Still loving anything youll give on here lol. Thanks Andrew!!
man, thank you!
N54Gang 🇯🇲 We still lockd in Andrew. Keep the content coming man. #teamn54
Is Brock interested in doing something a little different ? I have a spare v-10 and a 8-hp that needs to go into my X5.
We'd all be interested in seeing that happen. However, Dan has been trying to get Brock to do his v10 8HP swap all year as well haha. But we do have a s85 to 8hp adapter in stock.
beautiful
Many many thanks
I' m thinking an alternative strategy for tandem launch would be paddle activated TC unlock/locking and load the rpms on that, releasing paddle to lock TC and blast off. Saves the clutches, and uses the TC for what it does well (torque multiplication at launching) since its in there anyways? Can you program that?
You could transbrake, which is basically the same result as what you are suggesting. But to be brake boosting is normally fine. Most of the drift guys the clutch pedal when tandeming, just to get thier head in the right place. An auto with a clucth pedal is a strange thing for your brain.
Great info gents
Thank you
Glad you found it helpful.
Going through all your videos now so I can convert my 1uzfe into a e30 twin turbo
Thanks again
I may need a little help soon to confirm parts to buy of you guys soon
What is the longterm reliability of using the simulated clutch?
Depends how its used, as how much power and traction the vehicle has. In testing, these 8hp70 clutches are stronger than any heavy duty manual clutch we have used. 600whp, 6000rpm clutch kick at 40kmh in 7th gear it will turn 265 semi slick tyres. Where a heavy duty manual clutch for drifting would normally slip in that situation.
ohh this is making me going this way, will it work with Adaptronic as i have one in my FD and RX3?
Unfortunately the adaptronic canbus is not natively supported. However there are ways to make it work.
@ZeroTo60Tube the more i see this, the more i want. Does the shifter have to be so big and the bottom housing?
There are a few shifter options, however if you want a strong one it will need to be reasonably sized.
Heck yeah! Ordering one!
After messing with these for awhile while drifting, could adjusting this setting help with transmission longevity? Essentially when you clutch kick it you can dial in a bit more slip to avoid the shock to the transmission and driveline? Have you guys noticed any failures with drifting these transmissions over time? Love the content, I'm officially off the deep end with these 8hps.
No failures from drifting yet. However the more you slip the clutches the more they wear. The transmissions dont seem effected by shock loading at all., They munch diffs and axles first. So it is a balance for the longevity of th entire drivetrain. But slipping them for longer wont help the trans.
this is awsome!
I know a little while ago i was like mannnn og manual trans all the way lol! But im curious with the 8hp and or dct do you absolutely need to upgrade the clutch packs to handle a 700hp drift car or do the oem clutch packs hold up fine for clutch kicks and daily street driving with casual hard driving at that power level?
We put a near stock 8hp70 in a 1100whp skyline this week. We will let everyone know how it holds up. However at 700hp a 8hp70 wont break a sweat. I wouldnt drift with a DCT btw. Slipping the DCT clutches is not good for them.
@@ZeroTo60Tube my friend and I got to thinking. If you’re using the clutch packs doing the clutch kicks and for the pedal emulator, do you necessarily need a torque converter? Could you run it as direct drive and strictly go off of slipping clutch packs?
@@drewncars9505 With a lamik you can run them in a mode that doesnt need the converter. People have made converter replacements. The aim is less mass spinning on the crank shaft. However i dont think anyone sticks with it. End up putting a converter back. BMW even had a version of the 8hp45 with not converter for the race cars, however they also went back to a converter.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thanks for the reply! He just finished swapping a lamik in his Miata that he drag races and someone else brought it up to him and got us wondering if it’s been done or if it was possible.
Hello from Alberta Canada, I have an 08' 335xi with possible fault in DME.
Would I be able to send you some details for advice? Let me know your hourly rate as well.
Hi Man, unfortunately thats not something i can help with. Check out Bens Bimmer Services on facebook
Do you think this same setup would work on the 6hp or the 6r80 as well? I see turbolamik lists them but not as much info on them as there is for the 8hp.
The turbolamik no longer supports the 6hp. After playing with both transmissions, i wouldnt waste any timme with a 6hp/6r80. If you are spending the money on the electronics, the transmission is a small part to have a much better solution than the 6 speeds.
Hi team do you still have the e39 m5 iv not seen any content for sum time ?
No unfortunately. There is a thread on spoolstreet if you are interested on whats happened. But its not being spoken about on here.
can you give me a little more information this spoolstreet thread @@ZeroTo60Tube
can these be made to work with a 6hp28x? I've done a search and couldn't find anything. cheers
No, they will not work on 6hp
What sort of diff ratios are working with the 8hp?
Not being funny, but nearly anything works. We have cars with everything from 2.8 up to 4.3. The 8 ratios make it much less of an issue compare to a manual
Can you stall it now 🤔
Wow, this totally blows my mind🤯
I didn't know this was possible
When are we getting N54 content back and what happened to the JMC car? Longest cliffhanger ever...
Hey mate cliff hanger is an understandment, there is a thread on spoolstreet, if you want to know what happened. Im not getting in to it on here.
I want this kit for my rb25 swapped pro drift car :D
Please bring back tue bmw stuff also xxxxx i will love you long time ma bro
I wonder if they've tried putting it in a car that came with 8HP from the factory, like the M235i/M240i/M340i/M440i
is that... a Zero to 60 Video???
ssshhhhh dont tell anyone
damn
