Shift Kit Install and Testing (+ Hidden Switch) | Basic Barra Performance Mods Pt 6

Рет қаралды 46,974

3 жыл бұрын

If you've ever driven one of these 4 speed BTR auto cars then you'll know the shifts are pretty slow and soft.
With this electronic shift kit you can speed and firm up those shifts at the flick of a switch after a fairly simple install, all for under $100, which we'll show you in this video.
We then took it out for a quick test to see if it does in fact deliver on the above.
Oh and I of course had to make my life easier by doing away with the provided toggle switch for something more stealth and all together unnecessary!
Hope you enjoy, thanks for watching and please consider subscribing for more.
Shift kit was purchased from Shiftkits Australia, and they sell kits for many other Falcons - www.shiftkits.com.au

Good old electric shiftkits, i fitted one to my AU falcon way back in 2005, we still have the Au still going strong. It shifts so hard when driving in the wet it would turn my single spinner diff in to a lsd lol. Ive got a Gtech that id use to check 0-100 an 1/4mile times. I can say after fitting the shift kit it dropped almost 2 seconds off the 1/4 mile time. Lots of fun.

2 seconds on a more likely 2 tenths which still really impressive

@BrowneysGarage 3 жыл бұрын

@Chris Cumming I completely believe it would spin both in the wet, I was on cool dry roads and it was chirping tyres hard. Will have to watch it in the wet if it's on. And I'd be pumped if it dropped a tenth or 2 off the time, seems possible.

Love the button counter. Lol. A bit of advice too - next time you're anywhere near somewhere that sells them (like a Jaycar or similar) grab one of those soldering iron stands. You will not believe how much better it makes the process. I bit the bullet and bought one after I burned the top of my bench for the third time, and have not burnt anything since. Plus, they hold the iron at the perfect angle for picking it up to solder something, so you actually save time by not having to fart around getting your grip right. There's two main types on the market, a cheap one and a more expensive one. Buy the more expensive one. The base on the cheaper ones isn't heavy enough to hold up the bigger irons without falling over (ask me how I know!), and that tube-style holder they have is junk - you spend too much time trying to locate the hole, and none of us wants that, LOL. The more expensive style with the heavy base (and a little tray for a sponge) and the tapered cast alloy holder on the spring design that leaves the tip in the open air is waaay better. You can just shove the iron somewhere close and it finds its own way due to the taper. They're money well spent. Cheers :-)

@BrowneysGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Haha I was pretty happy with that too, thanks mate. And cheers for the recommendation, anything has to be better than the precut one piece fold out stand thing that comes with them! Don’t do a huge amount of soldering but will look into the stands, always nice to have the right tool there when you need it.

Hey browney just curious if you have any vids in regards to changing the gear shifter? I know it's a pain in the ass because of the setup but thought I'd ask 🤣

@henryhiggins2021 3 жыл бұрын

I thought the shift kit simulates full throttle shifting at part throttle. It basically tricks the transmission (by changing ohm reading) into thinking you have applied full throttle so the shift is quickens up . It wont really effect full throttle shifting .

@BrowneysGarage 3 жыл бұрын

It 100% effects full throttle shifting, maybe even more because this is obviously when you have the most load and power delivery. From my understanding you are correct that it tricks the transmission but does so to up the line pressure to a higher level than the stock trans would ever normally see, even at WOT. Shifts are noticeably quicker and firmer.

@glensgraphix 3 жыл бұрын

When, not if, you do the tune (I have faith in you Browney) give us a run down on the costs involved too. There are many channels on here that "We'll just get it tuned now" like it's as easy as changing a light bulb. I'd be very interested in how much it is and whether the average owner can cover those costs. Especially in these weird and wonderful times. Nice work converting the fog light switch/button.

@GlensGraphix Thanks Glen, the response has been pretty unanimous so guess I better start searching for tuners to take us in and get the wallet ready to hurt a little after lockdown!

@Brian Zammit Hi Brian, and thanks mate. Shiftkits Aus do list V8 under BA's as an option so I'm pretty certain they'll have you covered with one of the kits. Not 100% if the wiring will be the same but if it is different at all will likely just be the one pin that is different, process will be much the same and instructions they provide will let you know for sure. Good luck mate, they were a pretty nice thing the G220 so hope you enjoy it 👍

I think you could do a multi tune on pcmtec with low boost 7psi on the street you go plus -150 in the above table and say-500 for the drags and 16 psi ?? But great to see how to use this shift kit on the b series btr . They are a good box with some extra line pressure, except for the very tall 1st gear! I’ve destroyed one box so far with a turbo conversion. Built box coming and a tune to match !

I quite like them too, especially when they're in there from factory and are so available and cheap. The BTR will be staying/upgraded if needed for now I think.

@Rvayy Double and triple check your wiring mate. Is it BA or BF, as mentioned in the video I believe these splice into different wires so make sure you've done this right per instructions from Shiftkits for your car. Didn't completely cut the red wire, only stripped it back (second wire from the car that is tapped into after the ECU wire)?

You do realise with the TC button you press and hold to keep it off and the light would show up on the dash

Why would I do that in a car that doesn’t have traction control?

@@BrowneysGarage yeah but you could still have used the factory button and held it for the duration of time to activate the fast shifts no?

@BrowneysGarage 3 жыл бұрын

Could have done that yes, would function the same except now I don’t have to hold the button, can just turn it on and off.

@@BrowneysGarage so if i were to do this kit on my XT that has the tc button i could do this. (Overall its just a preference thing right)?

I haven’t looked into how the TC functions off the button but as long as your happy to do it that way and have it control 2 functions then I guess you could. Could always use the provided toggle switch and stash it somewhere out the way instead also and forget the TC button idea. Good luck
