SWAP SERVICE – BMW Dual Clutch Transmission + 2JZ Power is here!

Our lead tech is no stranger to 2JZ power and transmission options.  Having maxed out the standard GTE Turbo 4 Speed Auto and gone  beyond the capacity of built R154’s with straight cut gear sets, he has now ventured into the relatively new world of the BMW Dual Clutch Transmission behind the 2JZ!  And boy does it work!!!!!  Making over 1000HP, Andrew’s AEM controlled SC430 is stupid fast with the lightning quick shifts of the DCT!  It drives smooth at low power and partial throttle, and doesn’t skip a beat at full tilt.  Touch base with us to get more info and to see if a DCT swap is right for you.
