Hopefully I got most the information you guys needed in the video, if you have any questions post em below. I Should be getting the car on the street in the next video . See y’all soon 🤘😎🇺🇸
Awesome video. I have a 09 g8 roller that I’m slowly gathering parts for to put together. Had one last year that i cammed but this one is getting trans and motor built. Video helped a bunch.
Hi, Did you change the converter to a lower pressure like the 6l90e factory settings or you kept the higher pressure? Any tips for the converter change in the tune? Great video!
As always great vid! Even though I’m not a fan, I still watch your Honda swap content lol. I just picked up a L96/6L80e that I’m going to swap into my other car. I’m currently in the process of getting all of the parts for a VVT delete and cam swap.
Honda is gone buddy LOL... I decided to upgrade my shop instead new lift comes in soon main focus is on the G8 now. I don’t think this trans will last very long and I’ll be doing this all over.
consider keeping VVT homie. I have a Crate L96 full bolt on with the comp 189-400-13(it's in a 2500hd With level 2 CDT 6l90e and CDS ZL1 convetor). there is a few HP and torque available with the cam phasing.
I also have a zl1 converter i plan on putting in and i was wondering should i still put it in because the stock converter is a 3 bolt and the zl1 is a 6 bolt
I’m sorry if I missed it, can you explain the easiest way to actually get the converter bolts loose from the flex plate, I’m just pulling my motor and was just trying to find the easiest way possible
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia thank you, I just did this last night lol the started was a pain for me to get out being pinned against the headers lol but I got them appreciate the response
Did you measure the distance between converter and flexplate before you bolted them together? I've seen guys send it and others shim to limit converter pullout. Not sure which way to go
I don’t believe I had to space mine at all… see how much pull out you have when you install. If it’s not too much you should be good or run some spacers if not.
For me I had a bigger cam and it was wanting to push through the brakes at a stoplight. Also eventually with making more power you will blow through the stock converter.
I rely on this guy a lot when doing it things... great channel. I also just send the tune to my tuner Matt at Turbo Technology Inc when I make significant changes. ruclips.net/video/M8X5z0qxnM4/видео.html
Had you ever had any issues were the transmission and motor meet, I have a leak every time i use my G8, and they telling me it can be my transmission housing, when my car just sits in the drive way it does NOT leak but when I start driving it starts leaking. Please help thank you.
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia I believe where the seem is. Where motor and transmission meet, rite in the bottom. They going to look at my car this Monday so let’s see what they tell me.
If I brought my car to you with the converter how much to replace mine? I want a trans cooler instead if the one in the rad, and a camaro upgrade pan. I also have a HP tuner so it should be easy to reprogram. lmk, Thx bro.
It’s pretty easy man I could always walk you through it if you have space to do it. I’m just a self taught mechanic not saying it couldn’t be done if you needed it. Let me know thanks for the support as well.

Video helped me a ton. Thanks boss. Got my circle d 4200 for my N.A. car going in. 3.91 gear, GPI on the keys.
You’re welcome man! Sounds like a nasty setup 🤘🦾 glad I could help… thanks for watching as well 😎

Nice vid man! Getting a stall soon so this helped, can’t wait to see the car hit the streets!
Thanks man! Biggest thing is making sure the converter gets set properly and your golden.
Thx for the plug
Awesome video man, love it
Thank you little man good luck tomorrow!

Much appreciated!
I also have a zl1 converter i plan on putting in and i was wondering should i still put it in because the stock converter is a 3 bolt and the zl1 is a 6 bolt
It still works they are all that way mine was the same. It will line up with 3 holes in the flex plate.
How much of a difference was it swapping out the stock converter for the ZL1 converter?
Just allowed me to get up in rpm at the line and drive better on the cam.
Nice g8....Fixing mine up too...How many quarts would it take just changing fuild and filter ...
Sorry never seen this comment pop up if you got everything out I’d figure around 8-9 quarts
I’m sorry if I missed it, can you explain the easiest way to actually get the converter bolts loose from the flex plate, I’m just pulling my motor and was just trying to find the easiest way possible
7:43 take the starter out and should be able to get at them. 😎
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia thank you, I just did this last night lol the started was a pain for me to get out being pinned against the headers lol but I got them appreciate the response
That’s good ya pita but glad ya got it, sorry for the late responses
I can tell you how long my stock trans lasted and that was one 9 sec run
Yeah mine isn’t very happy already has its issues time to time

what are the benefits of switching the torque converter?
For me I had a bigger cam and it was wanting to push through the brakes at a stoplight. Also eventually with making more power you will blow through the stock converter.
What also is needed to be changed in the tune vs the stock.converter?

I know you were talking about turbos with your G8 but have you seen this guys setup?ruclips.net/video/NTjuYT-qWM8/видео.html
Heck yeah I’ve been following that car online then he finally made a channel. Turbo will be in the future
What was the torque specs for the flexplate?
The stock bolts if that’s what you’re using is 15, 37, 74ft lbs on the 3rd pass. The torque converter is 46 ft lbs
Bad ass
mine makes that clicking noise also. drives me nuts. is it from the poly timing chain dog bone? thx bro.
I guess I’ll find out here shortly tearing it all down and putting a new stroker in
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia Thanks brother for the content.
yeyeet
How’s the 6l80e holding up?
It lasted almost 4 years with the lsa over 600whp. When I went twins I changed to a TH400. I could have built the 6l80 but went the other route.
Had you ever had any issues were the transmission and motor meet, I have a leak every time i use my G8, and they telling me it can be my transmission housing, when my car just sits in the drive way it does NOT leak but when I start driving it starts leaking. Please help thank you.
Can you tell Where the fluid is coming from? If you could get it up in the air on stands or a lift see where it’s coming from. I didn’t have any leaks
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia I believe where the seem is. Where motor and transmission meet, rite in the bottom. They going to look at my car this Monday so let’s see what they tell me.
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia I wish you could work on my car haha are you near Austin Tx ??
Good luck man I wish I could help more … too bad you can’t see through the inspection hole where it’s coming from
@@Adrenalinedrivenmedia yeah I wish I did so I can have a better idea where this oil is coming from.
