Guys I have an urgent question, I'm ABOUT to close on a full motor/tranny pull from a 05 CTS-V in 30 mins.
I found out the that T56 that comes in those is different, so i need last minute advice on whether that one will work with any of the kits (fueled racing for example), or if I would need to try to get him to break it up and sell me the ls6 only, then get a T56 from a GTO

Thanks!!!

 

Ls6 tranny all you will need is the ls1 shift linkage take old out install.new ..
Its in this thread like 6 times

 

Thanks for the reply.

I ended up getting just the engine. Didn't remember that info specifically from the threads and didnt' get the info from the few searches that I did on the site. Only had 30 mins to finalize the decison, and the tranmission itself was overpriced, so I decided to just get the engine and get a gto t56 when the time/price is right.

Anyways, very excited about the swap.

Here's the engine



And here's its new future home

 

Brian your build is coming along nicely!

On a diffent supject the turbo kit i have from SnyperZ for a Z LSX swap is up for sale in the market place for any of you looking to go boost!

 

what is everyone doing for the wiring? I bought an L33 and dont have any of the wiring for it. Is there a place that will make a full harness for you?

 

lol why not go back to beginning and read again redlin3

 

there are pleanty of stand alone ones on the market like psi wiring or current performance that require very little wiring.

 

Alright, so I have been in and out of this thread and read alot about other chassis and LS swaps, but what seemed like the biggest concern was wiring for this swap. I do not care to go through 69 pages to get a partial answer... My question is, is there a wiring harness or a guide to making an LS engine work out there.

Also, what other hurdles are there?

It turns out people want my 1993 RX7 more than I do, so I am building a budget again, and come to find out the Z/G platforms prices are so much lower nowadays.

 

SHAMELESS PRE-TGIVING POST!

If anyone is overwhelmed with their swap and is reconsidering the undertaking, and wants to sell me their fueled racing swap kit, pm me

 

Got some goodies on the way!

FAST 102 Intake Manifold prof. ported by Vengeance Racing, Nick Williams 102 Throttle Body, FAST Billet Fuel Rails, FAST 46lb Injectors, Gratinelli spark wires



Will be exchanging the cable driven for a 102 drive-by wire tb since I wanna run a vipec to be able to keep the traction control and other perks to keep it a full DD. Cass I just went thru your whole thread. Great info!

Misc things...
Corvette Covers



C5 ZO6 Emblem... just in case the guy behind me wants to try to keep up



The other big ticket items will be coming in a few weeks - swap kit, t56/monster stage 2. Then keep gathering the parts needed... EMS, Radiator, etc

 

I'm just finishing up putting a heads and cam ls1 in my z. I made my own mounts viruses a few of the sikky parts. I let them do the harness. Does anyone have pics of what they did with there computer placement with the batter or did everyone relocate it?

 

Sorry for my spelling I'm using my phone.

 

for those of you running a DBW throttle body are you able to use the 350z pedal still? and what PCM are you using?

should I opt. to get a cable operated throttle body instead? and use an f-body PCM?

 

Has anyone used Syvecs standalone before?

What are your thoughts on the product?

Thanks

 

I think I read a while back some members were using the 240sx pedal and the Lokar cable. I think someone modded the Z pedal to work as well.

 

Pretty disappointing that the guys who have experience on the swaps dont seem to care to help the guys who are currently undertaking the process :/

 

I wish someone posted the perfect ingredients for a simple LS1 swap. Seems this thread has so much info but its here and there bc its a cluster fck!!! Im back on the LS bandwagon. And doing most of the swap myself. THen to CIN for wiring and tune

 

I just bought my kit from Mark (snyperZ) hoping to get a couple stuff from him too that he has laying around. Engine should be on the way here shortly cant wait. Add me on the list haha

 

Yeah this thread has gotten pretty big. I'm going to start my own thread and just copy my posts into it, later

 

I've asked tons if questions to everyone that did the swap. No reply. Figured it all out on my own just took a lot of time.
