Phantom's LS1 Computer Swap

[Phantom409]

In loosing my job my coil brackets are only a 1/4 of the way done so I had to improvise and mount them in a way I didn't want to but it worked.

Started by locating the coils on the covers and drilling holes

Getting the harness laid in and wire loom put on.
If decluttering you engine bay is important this may not be for you

Ran into an issue with the water pump and the bracket that goes in place of the Opti.
They hit so some modification was needed.

Check out those SHORT plug wires
Now before I started the car I unhooked the PCM and C100 plug and put power to the harness and checked to make sure I had ground where I should have a ground and PWR where I should have PWR.
Everything checked out so I unhooked the Battery and hooked everything up and she fired right up!!!!

I do have to put the OBD 2 plug in the car yet and will get that on Monday.

I'm sorry to hear about your job kyle

On a positive note, looks like you're kicking butt on this conversion project! Keep it up bud!

[JoeliusZ28]

good progress kyle!

I did not have good luck with relays on my water pump. The first one burned up immediately, the second failed after a month and the third one was part time.... I said eff it and wired it right to the fuse box and its been fine ever since.

[nascarnate326]

TJ @ Baker Eng. bench top tuned the PCM for my setup

Thanks guys!

very impressive Kyle and it looks factory to someone who had no clue you did it..

very nice work..

[JoeliusZ28]

a stock LS1 tune should be just fine as a starting point for adjustment. I dont plan having anyone flash mine.

[Phantom409]

Anyone interested in watching the car get Dyno tuned can come and watch.
Car will be at Baker Eng. in Spring Lake Tuesday @ 2pm.

just want to add toi this thread to help a few people out in the future:

LT1 pin Black 16 shows up twice, LT1 pin BLACK 6 also shows up twice. These all need to have their own wires run an pinned into the appropriate spot in the LS1 pcm (see efi pcm comparison sheet). (this is a total of 4 wires that you need to run.
