Re: turbo 400 swap?

advanced adaptors has a kit, and you just need to re-do the driveshafts on your own. if you do a th350 you can keep the stock driveshafts.

If you do the TH400, contact PATC for a modified vacuum modulator. It is set up like a TV cable for boosted applications. So your pressures are determined by throttle position and the weird upshift characteristics are taken care of.

#4X. 350 / 400 Cable Operated Modulator, no vacuum needed. This works well for superchargers and on diesel motors without a vacuum regulator. This modulator uses a 700R4 throttle valve cable. Cost $113.00

Since the syty comes with a 700r4 TV cable setup, this would bolt right in.

Re: turbo 400 swap?

Just came across this thread, if I read right a turbo 350 needs no adapter and uses stock driveshafts? So if I have a T350 from a 4x4 it all bolts up?

Any input will help

What's your reason? If its cost, then all you will be saving is the price for a controller ($800) and the price defference between the 4l80e and the 400.

Re: turbo 400 swap?

i thought a 400 is little over 2000 grand?dont you need all the electronics for the 80e?I really dont care about od to much,I dont think i have to worry about this 700 breaking but if it ever did.

Re: turbo 400 swap?

If you going to keep the AWD then you will need
Adaper plate for the transfercase ($200)
output shaft or input shaft depend which way you go. ($450-800)
cross member ($200 + - )
Dipstick ($60)
Brackets ( for shift linkage, transfercase to transmission) ($100)
drive shafts -longer front and shorter rear ($350 - 600 )


plus the th400

or plus 4l80e + controller

Re: turbo 400 swap?

4l80e is a 400 inside with an overdrive added, and electronics for shifting.

Rossler just came out with a $300 manual controller that is a budget option.

Really personal preference if you want to keep OD and the cost associated to do that.

4l80e convertors are also a lot more money.

Everybody will have different goals, ideas, budgets, plans. No 1 correct answer to this.

I do love the 4l80e though.
