Congratulations on the new birth

Mik325tds · 08-24-2016, 09:03 AM

Well done! Did you get it coded yourself?
When is the next track day?

Grazy_87 · 08-24-2016, 10:57 AM

A few videos for your enjoyment, car needs mapping to bring the power back as its running less boost than before!

kydiesel35 · 08-24-2016, 11:00 AM

Awesome man!!! Congrats.

iaknown · 08-24-2016, 12:03 PM

AWESOME!!!

335duff · 08-24-2016, 01:39 PM

Very Impressive! Where do we get the gearboxes from? And is the 330d the one to have? there seem to be a lot of variations of it.

mob17 · 08-24-2016, 02:41 PM

Awesome!

But wait, did you check reverse

Grazy_87 · 08-24-2016, 03:00 PM

Car has reverted back to its standard map since flashing the Ecu. I reckon though with the bigger turbo ect it's still making over 300bhp. It's going on the dyno Saturday to get her back to where she should be (maybe more). Also having full track biased Geo setup on Friday. Then it will just be a case of making it look better inside.

BB_cuda · 08-24-2016, 04:44 PM

In the 1st video, I hear you get a little scratch. Are you taking off in 1st or 2nd? Trying to ask if the scratch your "getting" is a 1st to 2nd or a 2nd to 3rd.

Reason I ask is the slush box always takes off in 2nd unless you force it.

EDIT: I re watched the in car video (2nd video in sequence). It looks like you're starting in 1st as shifter is in forward throw position as you take off. So, the scratch is a 1st to 2nd one.

CONGRATULATIONS, Grazy!!

Len_Beach · 08-24-2016, 04:47 PM

Excellent work!

What coding did you to get it working? Any other changes?

Thanks man! Got there in the end!
The clunking noise not the box or clutch, it's the actual shifter. It's meant to do that so a way of knowing its locked into gear. As its a motorsport shifter it's definitely not the quietist lol. It's getting mapped again on Saturday and then it should be at its full potential. Will get some vids of the dyno runs and also a highway one to record the mid range grunt.

I contacted a guy in Germany who did it remotely. Took him less than 20mins 🙄 Lol

This potentially paves the way for other custom swaps. Please share his contact info. Thanks.

Perhaps this an American slang and you didn't follow me. I was watching your outside of the car video and heard your tire screech during a 1st to second gear change. We yanks call that a 2nd gear scratch.

Ah right, yeah it tried to spin the wheels between gear change lol

Iaro · 08-25-2016, 06:42 AM

Sick! You should start a new thread where you explain how you did it so we can follow your lead

stolympiakos · 08-25-2016, 07:49 AM

I've been lurking around watching this thread super closely, and I am so SO glad that you got it figured out. Thank you for being a pioneer for those of us who were a bit more scared to do this. Once my note's out, I'm planning on doing the same. That is a beast of a ride!

I will gladly donate (in beverages or in monetary sums) for a guide for something like this!

Full appreciation and thanks for all the incredible and amazing work!

335duff · 08-25-2016, 12:49 PM

Where can I get this transmission shipped to usa? Is customs a pain with importing a transmission?
