TURBO LAMIK ZF8HP TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT

TCU 2.0 by TurboLamik is a highly advanced transmission controller for ZF 8HP automatic transmissions, thanks to which we are able to control the amazing ZF transmission in any car, yes any car.

Being able to use current OEM technology in your build not only extracts more performance from the engine, but it helps with fuel economy and driveability. Gone are the days of the loose converters from the powerglides and TH400 or clunking and whining gears from a dog box. The 8hp and TCU 2.0 combination really does give you everything, a race transmission with road mannors, comfort and efficency.

TCU 2.0 was the first 8HP controller on the market and it has been in continual development for nearly 10 years.

It currently supports 8HP45, 8HP50, 8HP55, 8HP70, 8HP75, 8HP90 transmissions with.

8HP51 & 8HP76 Transmission are not supported by the TurboLamik TCU 2.0.

TCU 2.0 gives the possibility of configuring driving modes, we are able to adapt the controller to nearly any type of car:

TCU 2.0 has a diagnosis of error codes and protection for the safety of the user in the event of a failure of the drive system.

• TCU 2.0 Feautres:

1. 8 configurable driving modes
2. Gear shifting: manual, automatic, semi-automatic,
3. Smooth to sporty gearshift characteristics
4. Auto Adaptation
5. Auto diagnostics / error code memory
6. Transbrake start procedure
7. Virtual clutch
8. On-line software update
9. Race Start Bump In
10. Clutch sleep stratergy for vehicles with high idle
11. Downshift Blip

Installation of the TCU 2.0 does require modification to the factory mechatonics. We essentially need to bypass the internal factory TCU and link directly to the solenoids and sensors with in the transmission. This is done using the supplied PCB board, which sits in place of the factory TCU.

TCU Inputs - The configurable inputs can be setup as CAN or ANALOG in to the TCU. These are for things such as RPM, Map, TPS and brake signals. Please note there are various limitations on the Canbus inputs depending on which canbus profile is being used. For further information on supported canbus profiles see here.

TCU Outputs - Outputs can be configured using CAN or Analog. Like the inputs there are a number of limitations for canbus outputs depending on engine ECU being use.

Default analog outputs list:

AUX 1-8 outputs 0.5a low side (user configurable various functions)

AUX 9 output speed signal (vss used for speed input in to speedo and engine ecu)

AUX 10 5A low side (user configurable)

AUX 11-12 3A high side output

AUX outputs support: neautral, reverse lamp signal (+12v 3amp), tq reduction, blip

- ignition signal

- speed output

- gearbox cooler fan control

- transbrake output signal

- front wheel lock valve

CAN communication: 2 x 125, 250, 500, 1MBps (information on supported canbus profiles here)
