What are the HP goals?

Andrew

 

800rwhp w boost.

 

That's about the same goal as my GTO, and I'm using a 90. I have seen plenty of videos using a 70 at similar or even higher power levels, but I can't say for sure one way or the other.

Man there is so much good info on this thread. Refreshing from the crap posted on fb now in lstead of these forums.
I'm trying to secure a hellcat/8hp90 combo now. So this is all gold. It will be going into a 1986 suburban 2wd.
Will update when I actually have a trans in hand!

 

I am working on swapping a 6.4L/8HP70 combination into a 1989 Suburban. Email me and let's discuss your project. Email: projectgattago at Gmail dot com

I just finished an LSA/4L80e swap in my Buick Roadmaster Wagon, and the only thing I'm not happy with is the transmission. This thread really sent me down the rabbit hole, and an 8HP(70?) looks like it's exactly what I need.

I'm about ready to start buying parts. I see TurboLamik says their product works with the E38 CAN protocol, but does anyone here have first hand experience or know of anyone who has used a GM E38 + TurboLamik? Tbh I'll probably just pull the trigger once I can find one example of success with this combo. I'll reach out to the guys at TurboLamik as well, but if anyone has any first-hand experience, I'd love to hear it.

 

Do it! Yes it works with the gm computer(join the turbolamik group on Facebook if you can)

I went from a miserable 4l80 to this and it made the car a complete beast in comparison

 

I would like to know the answer to your question as well. Alternatively, it appears you can use analog inputs with the Turbo Lamik (Brake pedal, Throttle position, RPM and manifold pressure). But I have yet to find a case where someone was successful and documented the work. I'm not on facebook.
I'm in the middle of putting a new LS2 together and this would be a great time to phase out the 4L80 and loose converter for something better.

 

Hey guys
This is Greg from Turbolamik USA

TurboLamik gets data using GM CAN from GM CAN starting with E-3x all the way to E-9X ECUs (and many others)
CAN commiunication is the same and there are minor changes on how it reports torque which can be calibrated in our TCU
Today we installed a TurboLamik TCU for Bowler performance Transmissions for their trans dyno and we thought we would need to add the can protocol to our TCU but it turned out to be the same as previous versions.
Their trans dyno is using LT1 engine with Chevrolet Performance LT1 Engine Controller Package with E-92 controller.

For all the folks who need to install our TCU on carb cars or are worried that can is not supported then all you need to do is add 3 sensors (MAP, RPM, TPS) power and brake signal. (This even applies to diesels btw)

As far as congifuration/tuning its pretty straight forward.
If you unsure what to do then you can call us once its installed and wired and I will remotely configure your controller and test your gearbox.
This typically takes 15 minutes and you are ready to hit the road and do adaptations.

Feel free to email me with any questions
Sorry I dont have any links to "build threads" but this is setup has been tried and tested over and over with almost 9K Turbolamik controllers on the streets worldwide

PLEASE CORRECT YOUR POST. HE WAS USING HTG CONTROLLER THAT HAD MANY ISSUES


I actually reached out to him when he had issues and offered assistance as he is in St Louis and I'm in Chicago. I actually said if he is willing to drive here then I would install the controller test and if he's happy with the performance then he can pay me my cost but at this point he was so frustrated that he just was ready to give up but that doesn't mean the swaps don't work.

Thank you for answering above, that's very helpful. Couple more questions below:
On an early LS1 PCM (or other early drive by cable throttle body PCMs (In my case a 411 GM PCM), can you tee into the TPS and MAP sensor wiring ? Another way to ask the same question is, can the TurboLamik TCM and the GM PCM share the signal from a single TPS sensor and MAP sensor? Can you use the Tach Output from the PCM and share that signal with a tachometer?
Scott

 

Absolutely you can share signals and for cars with no MAP its cheap and easy thing to add

 

Tempted to try to fit one of these in a 528i swap I'm planning... I have a 4l80 and 6l80 just sitting here but...

 

as in BMW 528i?

You definitely want 8HP as a BMW box should fit right in with no engine adapter

 

Yes 2000 528i getting a 6.2 ls

What year did these start going into chargers? I do alot of work for a dealership that does mostly ppv chargers and may be able to get one from a parts car they got

 

then you need LS adapter, Lamik TCU and a charger /challenger trans
Plenty of them on FB marketplace and local yards
You're looking for 8HP70
Don't waste your time with 4l80 and 6l80 garbage

Both cars on TurboLamik TCU @holleyfest - BMW is LT with dodge 8HP70 gearbox

 

I dont need it i dont need i dont need it....I should have never came here

 

0 mile 4l80 for sale...

 

You won't be disappointed

 

I have one of those for sale as well...LOL
