a simple to hook up , clean system with about 25% of the wiring that would be on a factory harness re-work and built in controller for all the adjustments

Very very cool. I've been waiting for that as well. They're not bad for the price either.

like the electric controll for the transmission if you have to buy an aftermarket controller for that too it can still become pricey unles you have a mecanical trans

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

Thats a really nice setup,... but way outta my price range.

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
you might need to read up a little on the new injection setup before buying a transcontroller , from wat i can remember you need some leads of the injection setup hooked up to the trans computer to have it work propperly
think it was gaspedal positioning sensor enginevacuum? and rpm might allso need some engine temperature reading
im suprized msd doesnt make a add on for that , then again they might allready be working on that

67cheby 05-15-2013 06:55 PM

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy
 
they are working on it but said it would be 2014 before it was ready !

watahyahknow 05-15-2013 09:21 PM

Re: Slosh Tubz new company project "Square Peg" frame laying 1987 GMC Jimmy

I hope I don't interrupt the well-justified Christmas euphoria (I'm envious)---but I thought of you when I saw the thread below. Since you have become a framery practitioner, and a Cadillac owner; you gotta dig this 57 Eldog frame from the Roadster Shop

Did you see that sick carpet/fur crap he's layin down and the dude sayin he wanted to roll around naked on it!? OMG! How bout them wheels - sheesh!! Mike, thread your Cad on 67-72! Losh's Luscious Caddy - Restomod and the ultimate money pit!

Sweet score on the MSD stuff Mike! We'll be interested in how you deal with the trans deal. Nothing wrong with a good old TH400 neitha!

I've read several reviews and opinions of stand-alone E transmission controllers from members on this forum. One good thing, ya got more room in a Jimmy for controller boxes than in a C truck!

the compushift one is about the best in the time i was investigating options to run a 4L80E
they allso have an option for flapper pedals on the steering for up and downshifting like they have on porsches and other high end cars was just checking real quick and their price is still close to that of a small second hand car
http://www.twistmachine.com/index.ph...FYXMtAodqwsAoA
i have to say there been a few years past since and i bet there a lot more controllers available now

Not that stand out in my mind. I just remember a good referral on the TCI. The other ones are names I'm not familiar with. Plus, these things are kind of a moving target, as they evolve as time passes.
