it'll be a while
Ferrari engine swap (kinda)
I am in the early stages of swapping a Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (baby ferrari) engine into a 22 GR86
I already have the engine and trans and engine wiring has been converted.
Engine is a ferrari developed (basically a V6 twin turbo version of the ferrari californa engine)
It will be run using a MoTec M142 (on a backorder)
We are using ZF 8HP trans controlled by a standalone GCU from TurboLamik
If anyone on here has some experience with CAN messaging please ping me.
Firing up this engine in a GR86 is not super hard with a MoTec but it would be great if we could get some of the factory things to work with this ECU
Thanks
Greg

8HP is like a 2JZ of transmissions
Very hard to kill and widely available.
These are used in huge number of cars from Beemers to track Hawks and they can take 1000nm depending on the variant and shift gears at full throttle whille burning rubber
In recent years there was a lot of development done to the standalone units that can control these and one of the best controllers for these is from Turbo Lamik in Poland
these controllers allow you to use these gearboxes like sequential race transmissions and even allow to use a clutch like if this was a manual trans.
Im in the process of becoming a US distributor for Turbo Lamik and from talking to few tuners in europe this thing is legit. I have several of these kits on order and I am excited to play with them.
Just Youtube Turbo Lamik 8HP and prepare to be amazed.
This aint no your grandma auto trans
EDIT: Sorry. Forgot to answer your question.
I dont know if massaging is required but there are several BRZs in Europe in drifting with that trans.
LOL
That brings memories
I had a full atx board in a custom case in my subaru back in a day running mp3car software if I remember the name correctly
It was working fine untill my hdd froze up in chicago 25 below climate (pre ssd days)
It was soo cold that bios didnt even reckognize that there was a drive attached
I do have a car to play with and I do own a CAN adapter from ECU master that I have from another project.
My understandingis that it can be used for general CAN communications
USB to CAN Module
USB to CAN Module is used to communicate between your PC and the ECUMaster PMU. Multiple devices can be connected via CAN, and a single connection can be used to communicate with all devices at once (for example: race vehicles using multiple PMU units) PRODUCT MANUAL LOCATED HERE.

Im sure you'd be a great help
Where are you located?
Thx
Greg
maybe it would help to stay away from the dipActually answered my own dumb question, lol. You're not using the FA24D!
I will
