They would have had to design and manufacture all the components to fit the box though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this will be in fact be an option in the future. Definitely going to keep my eyes on this 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have all the parts sorted, biggest cost is standalone GCU. There is a mob in England already doing the conversion plate for the barra. Will need base maps and tuning some is supplied. Main wiring harness is supplied. I will be using the ZF8HP75 rated to 750nm but apparently these things are very strong and will handle much more stock and have a larger and stronger input shaft. Cost is just under 5k if you can do most of it. Which is cheaper than a zf6 re build these days. The boxes are identical in dimensions.
