UPDATE:

More delays.... more delays.... I have been patient so I am going to wait it out a few more days and keep my mouth shut before I blow up, cause this harness fu**ing around bullsh*t is about to go both ways.

I just have been so left out from the project with all these delays, that I don't even care to update this anymore but hopefully soon it'll either be good or bad...

Sorry to hear this Vas... I can fix it, just load that bish on a trailer, drive down to Franz and drop it off... he will call you with dyno numbers when its done. I will even make you a sammich for free and ride to VA with you if you want to stop by PA and meet up.

I am on the way to JE as well, they know the HP Tuners for sure.

So let me get this straight...if i ever come across $20k and need a harness for LSX motor swap into my G35, I should call CHASEBAYS for my sanity or shoot myself in the temple waiting for wires in the mail.

What it comes down to is the VQ is a great motor but hard to get significant N/A HP gains & very costly for FI with rock solid reliability.

The LS motors on thee other hand do both well.

yeap basically. sikky's wiring is garbage, but everything else is beautiful, besides the notchy shifter, htey also leave a few important details out. so id recommaned chase bays for wiring, because logan knows his materials, and chasebays is a top tier company. justin does good work from mypersonal experience but the turnaround time is exhausting. me and vas are "guinea pigs" for his service but at the same time 5 months is quite a haul, and the only thing holding both our builds back

Our turn around time is quicker than any company around for most any of our harnesses and any other products for that matter. We have our all of our products down to a art.

If you use the LS3 E-rod motor you can keep everything with emissions. It comes with cats and everything you need to stay smog legal.

We just got done making a LS1 harness with all of the EGR purge and secondary 02 sensors for a hyundai genesis that needed to comply with SMOG and Emissions. We tailor our product to the customers need depending on the application and need.


When Vas and D get their harnesses they are going to be wrapped in tape and have re use connectors. Our will be 100% brand new

Sorry to hear about the wiring delays. I had mine done through SSW, it had about a 1-2week turn around. My major complaint is that I have to make my own relay and fuse box setup for a high current 5 wire set (all pink if I remember correctly). But my other small gripe is that he had never done one for a LS2 Z33 so the main harness length is obsurdly longe and I have to add about 4-6" on the rear o2 sensor wire because of the longtube headers. I'm not sure where I'm going to put the ECM and stuff all this excess harness.

UPDATE

Dimi- yeah man my phone took a crap last night, waiting for a new phone from apple. I wish I had a phone right this moment cause this guy would of gotten a nice call.


I just can't ****ing believe that this POS took all that money and 4+ months out of my build to see this in the ****ing package.. I am just so sick, its not even funny...

The harness looks basically the SAME!!!! as I sent it to him.. the only thing I see wired here is my pedal sensor WHICH I COULD HAVE DONE... ( I figured Id sent it to him since he promised me a complete re do of the harness ) This guy named Justin from Q-FAB, talked so much **** about sikkys harness( which i agree ) and has delivered nothing.. There are wires in the harness that are split!!!! WTF am I supposed to do with these?

My one clip for my Factory ECU is just missing and broken..

my harness was supposed to be tucked in, HE DIDNT even bother!!....

I am just sick and so close to coding this ******* his own website so no one on here OR ANY platform goes through with him.... I am not even excited bc IT DIDNT start before and I don't see much change in this rip off... but I am going to send logan from chase bays a message on here and bring this harness to the shop tomorrow and see what happens...
