  1. I’ve come across your blog & build a number of times, and I have to give you credit! What a transformation! Way to see this project through, I’ve just started my own atx to mtx conversion on my mp5 so I’ve only tasted a sample of the amount work you have in yours!

    Would you be willing to share some knowledge regarding your trans conversion? I have the atx out and the mtx in, and now onto the wiring.. what was your solution for the differences in harnesses, sensors, and gauge cluster?

    • Hi Chris,

      Sorry about the late response. Regarding the wiring all you need is the full engine harness from the bay to ecu/fuel sending unit and the starter harness.. With these two harnesses and the correct ecu for your car the swap will be plug and play.

      You don’t need to do anything with the gauge cluster. Let me know how the swap is coming along.
