6g74 / built atx

[GTwizard]

Did you have the heads/cams, etc. when you were ATX?

Had the head work, headers, and fresh .020 over slugs with the ATX. That was about it. ALL the other goodies came after 5speed install. The newest of cams, Adjustable cam gears, and intake was done 1 week before NG last. Than the Dyno at TX gathering.
Hope to get an other trans shortly and tune for NG11. I can say we did have traction issues. When side stepping the brake at 3400 and than the induction bodies would open at 3500 keeping the tires guessing for traction. Those days are gone. Now the quest is how to maintain traction in 3 gears, not just the first 1. LOL. The manual also give you a better feel or keeps your sesnses more in touch with the motor abilities. Matching gear shifts with different point along the power band, upshifting and down shifting alows you to use more of the motor when you need it most. The ATX hides or masks this feed back that you get from the drive line. Thought you might like to know.

well, i should be at the deciding point tomorrow. Once everything's out, it'll just be a matter of what's going back in

if i end up going the mtx route, i'd sell the atx, tq converter and everything that goes with it for like $500

You just want to buy his atx thats why.

either you're new, or you've overlooked the fact that i wouldn't be able to use his transmission anyways. not without doing a lot of cannibalizing. and at that point, if i'm going to the trouble of pulling the trans; i'lll probably build it MY way with new parts.

well, dash is out, it's not as helpful as i'd hoped
think i need to take the hvac assembly out too.
while it's out it'd be nice to go ahead and replace the heater, evap cores and blend doors, but i doubt time/funds will allow for that


i outsmarted the wind with some vice grips

Going from ATX to MTX, no other mods, I gained 1 sec and 4 MPH in the 1/4 mile.

ATXs are nice for turbo'd 3/Ss, less wheel spin with the longer gears but awful for NAs.

well, of course i ended up changing plans again, so now back to my original project....
i'm sticking to this one, unless i run across a steal on a spyder, lol

maybe i'll try reinstalling this atx on the other car
reverse wasn't working on that one anyway
i just have no luck with these things
i still think the problem was likely electrical
if you saw the condition of the current wire harness, you'd probably think so too


anyway, i started pulling some atx stuff
old shifter and brake pedal assemblies are out

making a template using the clutch/brake pedal assembly and see if i can find anything that can put holes in the firewall

If you aren't going FI just switch to MTX. Take it from someone who's had an ATX with an n/a and a TT.

And of course as I make this post I see that you are indeed going MTX.

Iirc I used a 1" 1/8 hole saw on a compact 1/4 drive drill for the slave cylinder hole.
