ZF-8 Speed upgrade recommendations

[Echo_26]

I think this is the right subsection but anyways..

I am finally looking to get an upgraded turbo and the time to upgrade the transmission is here.

I was originally gonna go with either the pure solutions stage 0 or stage 1 but found out there's other brands. These are Jacks transmissions and titan motorsports.

If anyone has any recommendations for a specific brand or past experiences with the brands and how the trans turned out I'd love to get to know more so I can choose which brand to go with.

(I'm aiming for around 700 wheel hp; i daily the car and do spirited driving through forest roads and pulls against friends)

Thanks again guys

Not sure about the build quality but I’ve dealt with jacks before for carbon synchros on my evo 8 trans a few years ago and I loved dealing with them. Price was extremely fair, work was done quickly and they kept great communication. They’re well known in the evo8 and gtr community.

Jacks and Pure are both great transmissions, but Pure is definitely the way to go, especially if you're doing a drag application.

Go with Pure. I believe even Titan has switched over and last I heard they were trying to keep some in stock. I would say go stage 1 and skip the 0 but that's just my opinion.

I have a Pure Stage 1 with ~20k miles into it already, no complaints. Chris @ Pure is awesome.

It was probably the quickest turn around out of any other part with the car, longest being ~6 months for the turbo, took Pure 3 days for them to rebuild it once dropped off.

True Story.

From what I've gathered chatting with a few guys that have been successful in this platform it seems Pure is the only way to go.

Maybe you can introduce me to some of these folks.

I'm sure you're much more connected than I, but LG Supra got me pointed in the right direction.

Luis is a super good dude. <3 I was mostly being facetious.

If you need a turbo, and are a 2 port, with your power goals, the CTS 2 port would be the way to go. Shoot me a message if you need one for a nice discount
