BMW DCT 7speed trans..

[stevieturbo]

This popped up the other day in conjunction with Whifbitz and Syvecs.

Their initial installation is on a Supra as that's one of their big markets, but clearly it could be applied to any rwd installation.

Still not super cheap, and ratios may not work for all, but overall it's a pretty cost effective, strong and super slick flappy paddle shifting box !

They're basically fitting an M3/5 7 speed dual clutch trans into other vehicles ! Cool as fk.

From the article, the box seems to be strong enough, it's just the clutch options may be difficult.

No doubt somewhere in the world will have uprated clutches to handle a lot of power, lets face it there will be tuners out there tuning the BMW's to big numbers.

If the used parts could be sourced at keen prices, ( prices mentioned in the article seem very cheap ) it certainly would be a very good transmission to use and lets face it if you want a silky smooth, slick and super fast shifting box you arent going to find anything better than this sort of thing and certainly not for the money involved.

Plus with this you get the added bonus of a Syvecs ecu to control the engine too.

It does mention in the article that updated clutches are available

Only to around 750-800hp or so though, but it would cover most people

Then again...my T56 is rated at 450lbft...hmmmmm

I think it's safe to say it's handled just a little bit more than that lol
