Thread: Things you read at the dentist Gen111 to LR

I love acronyms and abbreviations.


Is this the ZF you were talking about?

That looks more like a 6HP60 than a 4HP22.

Should I have said ZF 4HP22 manually controlled 4 speed automatic transmission, which is too weak in standard form to accommodate the torque of a 5.7litre engine without modifications costing about 8 (eight) thousand Australian dollars.

I think M113s and D1s have different drive trains

Cheers

Actually I was unfamiliar with the GenIII and VSS loom terms but posted up the M113A2 image because I had it!

that looks orridly overcomplicated...

the old system was much betterer

Gen111=General Motors third generation V8 as fitted to Holden Commodore ,Camaro etc etc . Aluminium (or steel) block and weighs about the same as a Rover V8. comes in a variety of capacities from 5litres up, but generally known as a 5.7, 6.0 and6.2 litre in Australia.

VSS =Vehicle Speed Sensor used by injection to cut off injectors on overrun, increase idle speed before coming to a halt, enabling cruise control, and lots of other goodies such as lean burn on cruise.

The New & Improved (Whiter-than-White) Gen III sounds really interesting... larger capacity with greater reliability / power can only be good.
- Certainly should be cheaper than re-building a LR V-8

Interesting to hear that marks is now doing the smaller flywheels, 18 months ago when i spoke with them they were talking about doing a LR kit, after talking about how i couldnt fit the LS1 flywheel in to the LT95 bellhousing they said they could possibly make me a custom flywheel but at that stage i dont think they had even given any real thought and no doubt the price they would have been asking would have been out of my budget.

I also looked into options for fitting the R380 up to the LS1 but all accounts i heard were that it wouldnt handle the power and the LT95 was the only one that MIGHT handle it. I gave up and went with the nissan box adapted to the LT230, gearing wise its a good option but its one huge box and weighs alot more then an LT95. It will be interesting to see if anyone has any success running a LR box behind a LS1 with this kit and how long it lasts.....
