Hey! I didn’t know y’all had a TH-cam channel!! Just reached out last week about adapter thicknesses, think I’m gonna use the Coyote one for my short wheelbase project. Will be running it on MaxxEcu so the whole drivetrain is speaking the same language.
Hi, we have your SLG wiring kit installed, all is ok except the static adaptation is stuck on 3rd gear. I have used a config file I have use with 2 cars with no problem. They came with another wiring kit.
Curious to ask, the video is titled “ANY CAR” so how would I adapt the shaft splines to other Engines to make it work any ideas or parts that would help? Also what ECU would you recommend to pair this with for non BMW applications EXAMPLE: a lexus IS350 or any Toyota V6/V8
We make a variety of adapter plates and flywheels for many engines, and can make them for really any project moving into the future. The flywheels have a sprung hub that has the splines. This sprung hub bolts to whatever flywheel we make, protects the clutch basket, and dampens vibrations. Any ECU that has CAN and an electronic throttle body is preferred. The CAN can provide engine data and the GCU can alter the pedal signal to command cuts and blips without the ECU knowing it exists. No need for a standalone, factory ECU have very accurate torque models and work well. If you have any questions please let me know!
you are best engine if you are in canada how mutch better ,becaus i have 2016 bmw m4 f82 transmison near fix but no one they know how to fix ,my car seat in the shorp a year .
Hey so I’m doing some research I’m loving the video seeing this is possible, I’m planning on swapping my TSX transmission with an ILX transmission that comes with an 8 Speed DCT which a lot of people didn’t know lol until now. So question this same process would this also work if I did these same steps, very curious I would need to do the custom harness thru you guys also most likely with the ecu correct. Also to note the ILX comes with also a k24 engine as the TSX
Forgive me if I am wrong, but @14:47 we are shown the table/diagram for pinning, and it says the Trans connector pin is small 'd'. not capital 'D', yet at 14:58 there is a graphic that pops up showing pin 'D' yet he places the pin into pin 'd'. I am assuming this was an editing error on the video side and the correct pin is indeed small case 'd'.
Hey guys. Do you still recommend HTG? There is ALOT of hate recently, for the last year or so. I have only heard bad stuff about them, they basically don’t do any support and their main development hast left the company so it’s basically shutting down. I know you guys have endorsed them trough your videos so i just want to know your thoughts on the matter. I don’t want to spend 2k of my hard earned money for something that’s bad. What would be alternatives for the DCT controller? There is turbolamik but they are only for 8hp transmissions
@@SeemsLegitGarage yeah we will be emailing u on thiz from aus’ and if u have an complete gearbox with built new and stronger clutchez ready to go and to do thiz adapter kitt n wiring etc…
Would it be possible to do the same with a bmw m5 f10 gearbox (DCT GS7D70SG)? Am I right to understand that in the video you have a gearbox from a bmw m3 e90/92?
we have connectors and can do that if you like, but its much easier to wire tis way since you don't need to remove the cover and clutch to access the sensor easily
Regarding the actual Mechatronix rewire; is the wiring general off the shelf Autozone wiring? If it is, wouldnt the cheaper wiring insulation break down from long term exposure to ATF oil.., throwing codes ect, ect? Can a heavier duty oil resistant purpose wiring be used instead?
Thx for the quick reply. Haven't decided between DCT or 8hp, but on your website your Mechatronix Service shows 2 different Ryutech boards; a white one and a blue one. Why are there two diff color Ryutech boards?
I have a Lexus sc400 with the 1uz, the stock ecu dosent provide any CAN data, so is a standalone a must? Or could I just use the controller? I’m thinking of using a ZF 8HP70
Hi, if you have a OBD2 port you have CAN which is sweet. If you don't have CAN, its not the end of the world, you just need to wire the GCU to some of the sensors going to the ECU as well. Its just easier with CAN (less wires)
@@SeemsLegitGarage how much it could be for the whole kit adopter fly wheel what Elise do I need Does the flywheel week come with the toot for the crank sensors and the hole for tdc?
@@SeemsLegitGarage would that be including the gearbox? Like do u do a package where the customer doesn’t have to do any of the work or what’s included in that package? I’m looking to vortech supercharge my e46 330ci with the m54 engine an have it at around 650/700hp and rev to over 8k so dct would be perfect for me...
@@SeemsLegitGarage I’m mechanically minded so most of the install stuff I will do myself in my dusty garage lol but anything where I need to use a computer and do software stuff by myself is where I start to get annoyed knowing the process will take a lot longer since I have to rely on someone else to do it for me
Can you guys do a seems legit paddle shifter install? That would be super cool!! 😅

I've spent my whole morning looking at dct swaps as I want to know if its possible on the is350 as well! Any news?
I put n53 engine and gearbox into the e93 body that uses dct gearbox so the problem is the gear shift connectors are not the how can i make it work?

How can i swop dct gear shift to 6at gear shift because the wiring is not the same
The transmission uses the same yoke as the GM autos. Sonnax makes a billet piece that goes straight to a 1350 joint.
its actually slightly different, it has indents
Who can i contact to inquire about detailed explanation of what needs to be done for M52 8spd rwd swap
would this fit in my 2015 Infiniti Q40 (AWD)?

yes its a editing mistake, should be lower case

You're right, right now HGT doesn't offer any support so we are recommending CANTCU or Turbolamik depending on what your use case for the car is.
What would be better for an LS platform? Short or long radio?
Depends on gear ratio. For most tire sizes, If under 3.2 go short, if above, go long :)
Very curious about this swap are you able to do this on an e83 x3 and if so are you able to keep the xdrive awd
rwd only
I'd imagine you could use the 8hp instead of the DCT you could do it, there is an awd 8hp, not sure if about the x drive biasing though
@@sintjinansley6107 solutions for that on the way
you guyz have any adapter plate or kitt made yet for 2018 infiniti Q60rs rwd yet with the F80 dct?
No but we can do custom adaptor plates, email sales@seemslegitgarage.com and we can help get it sorted.
@@SeemsLegitGarage yeah we will be emailing u on thiz from aus’
and if u have an complete gearbox with built new and stronger clutchez ready to go and to do thiz adapter kitt n wiring etc…
Will this work with a 2JZ NA, along with an E92 7 speed dct?
Yes we have 2JZ adaptors in stock and ready to go. Check out the website we have transmissions in stock as well
@@SeemsLegitGarage Could you also guide me regarding the ECU procedure? It can't be plug & play for sure
@@FahdAzad Email us and we can help set it up, no problem at all.
@@SeemsLegitGarage Soon. Still waiting on a few parts! Thank you. This is an excellent guide I hope y'all get more exposure.
Would it be possible to do the same with a bmw m5 f10 gearbox (DCT GS7D70SG)?
Am I right to understand that in the video you have a gearbox from a bmw m3 e90/92?
mine is from a 135i, they are all the same internally though so we often use that version as well.
This transmission is too big. Do you have DCT for transversely mounted engine? e.g. Honda K24 type?
Yes, we also offer this service for DSG transmissions
Adapter
Have you done this swap on an E46-M3 SMG? Will my current paddle shifters and shifter integrate?
shifter wont work but rest is ok, can use the f80 shifter
Do you need to have a custom driveshaft to fit with the e36 ?
yes we can make this
So you solder the black wires to the stock white wires rather than buying terminals for stock connector :(
we have connectors and can do that if you like, but its much easier to wire tis way since you don't need to remove the cover and clutch to access the sensor easily
Regarding the actual Mechatronix rewire; is the wiring general off the shelf Autozone wiring? If it is, wouldnt the cheaper wiring insulation break down from long term exposure to ATF oil.., throwing codes ect, ect? Can a heavier duty oil resistant purpose wiring be used instead?
The wire we use is a high temp motorsport grade wire sourced from a high end manufacturer. Dct also doesn’t use atf. It’s more like gear oil.
Thx for the quick reply. Haven't decided between DCT or 8hp, but on your website your Mechatronix Service shows 2 different Ryutech boards; a white one and a blue one. Why are there two diff color Ryutech boards?
@@kevinshasteen5682 two slightly different pinouts for different 8hp mechatronic versions
What is the benefit of HTG over MaxxEcu
one is a aem piggyback and one is a motec ecu equivalent
What diff ratio can you run with the gearbox?
any ratio you want
I have a Lexus sc400 with the 1uz, the stock ecu dosent provide any CAN data, so is a standalone a must? Or could I just use the controller? I’m thinking of using a ZF 8HP70
Hi, if you have a OBD2 port you have CAN which is sweet. If you don't have CAN, its not the end of the world, you just need to wire the GCU to some of the sensors going to the ECU as well. Its just easier with CAN (less wires)

Best option would be a upgraded DQ250 or DQ500 transmission
@@SeemsLegitGarage
What do you mean by upgraded? It will need to be fully rebuilt? Which components need to be changed? Tell me in details please.
@@sajidmohammad3190 I would just install a upgraded clutch basket and clutch set. There is not much to rebuild/upgrade inside the transmission.

But after I do a bit of research about this transmission, it's an AWD...But I need a FWD..!

How much would this cost and do u think you will still be doing this for customers later down the road
Yes for sure, we do those often for customer cars. All together most swaps are 7-10k including transmission and accessories/supporting parts.
@@SeemsLegitGarage would that be including the gearbox? Like do u do a package where the customer doesn’t have to do any of the work or what’s included in that package?
