Built 7AT or ZF8 Conversion

rspray2000 · 06-25-2022, 11:59 AM

What are your goals? I’ve seen claims of the VR30 swapped trans holding 570 ftlbs (likely 700hp) and it is likely much less expensive than a true built 7AT or DCT.

Currently I am 500whp and 520nm torque. But I will eventually increase to 800whp+.

I want to be more future proof, VR30 will probably not hold more than 600 torque?

And I was mainly looking at a ZF8 swap, not DCT. I hear these new ZF8s (2nd and 3rd gen) are as quick as a DCT in shifts speeds.

Maybe Jchammond will chime in about his built IPT trans. impressions.

In the meantime have you made any adjustments with the throttle sensitivity and torque demand charts in the tune? This greatly improves shift speed.

He has to get his car up and running first. Maybe the end of the year or next year the way he is going.

Currently my Z is getting a OSG diff with all the nice upgrades added in at the diff shop.

Next is getting a better trans setup.
