Bowie69 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Anyone got any experience with Megashift here? Just starting to do some reading up on it to potentialy Megashift a Lexus autobox, I am pretty sure it can be done, just wanted to know of any feedback etc from people that have done it before, even if not a Lex box Cheers, Pete.

landroversforever Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm guessing that Megashift is like the gearbox equivilent of Megaquirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have studied a fair bit of it, I thought it was very much in development and was more around the GM 4L60E Autobox ? Would love to know more ? May have to be auto meself hence the research Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 So it seems I am alone on here I think it's pretty much released now, DIYAUTOTUNE have the GPIO board + kits availabel now for a couple of types of transmission, but it will not be restricted to the just the GM boxes, for instance there are people already running the ZF HP24 with one From what I can read there's two ways to go about it, one with MS2 controlling the engine, and that provides information to the over the CAN bus to the GPIO board such as engine speed, TPS, MAP etc, and then the GPIO board works it all out and switches on/off various solenoids on the auto box. The second way is making it a standalone gearbox controller, feed it a MAP or TPS signal and an engine RPM and it calculates everything as to what gear it should be in and whether lockup should be engaged etc, spitting it out to the solenoids. We'd be going the standalone route, as the Lex V8 is currently running MS1v3 and not likely to change When I find a bit more on this I'll update it, just trying to find it is quite hard at the moment...
