Auto transaxles/transmissions

[Scott]

Would there be any interest in a full transmission build or the parts to convert an Audi awd 8hp auto trans to a fed only for mid engine cars like ours? I have a company who is well known here willing to build the entire trans up to 1500-1800 hp or the parts to convert yourself which is literally just unbolting the rear tail shaft housing and installing the adapter and cover. If there is a market for this he is interested in doing this for the guys who want a bad ass auto with paddle shift or whatever. The 8hp trans is a bad ass platform!!!

I would be interested in 5hp19 build up to about 500lb/ft and connection to ls PCM's

there is only one guy who has a 5hp19 standalone to run it. you can get the adapter tho cause its already been made. 500hp is about the limit but hp isnt as big a issue as the onset of torque vs weight and instant traction.

Scott do you have more info on the conversion for 8hp awd to mid engine conversion.

what do you need to know?

we building a kit car with a 4 rotor turbo engine. been a hassle to find a 6speed that would be up to the task and what is up to the task is very pricey.
We where sold a porsche box but turns out its from a aspirated engine and is also a issue to fit seeing the box must be flipped upside down.
i have access to getting a 8hp from a Audi RS7 hence my interest wen seeing your post.

what are your machining abilities like? its not a hard conversion but without machining parts you wont be able to. contoller wise a turbolamik should be able to control it. they make hard parts for those transmissions to built them stronger. it should be a 8hp55

I have done some homework. CANtcu for control without interfering with the mechatronic and solenoids like required for by turbolamik but option to use it is open. I have access to both brands.
Machining is also not a issue.
Need to look at dimensions of the 8hp95A nd 8hp65 variants.

i dont think the cantcu will work for those. the turbolamik isnt hard to install but gives a whole lot better and tuning is much better too. i can send a video of what need to be done to get rid of the awd torsen.

Scott any info would be welcome. You can pm me your details.
Thanks
