Following your build and swap closely, as I would like to pull the trigger on an LS1 or LS2 for mine good luck! Keep us updated.

Will do! Right now the motor is getting the cam and headwork done. Early next year will start the installation phase.

Hey what's up man, yea I sure will when I decide if I want to do it! Finishing building my supra currently that's taken way too long to do lol. I think we spoke a few times on the Dayton Subaru group. My name is Josh Bruner on Facebook. I'll stay in touch 👍🏻

Going to be such a fun car! Can't wait to see how it does, im very familiar with the LS motors and their platforms having worked on a few and I can only imagine a nice heads/cam/intake LS frs!

I'm pretty set on going with MRS CAN device, only thing missing for me on it is that my car is Push Button, but Colin is working on getting it to work.

Aside from that, what functions does the AEM Infinity 8h get you?

almost any decent standalone will give you more functions, resolution, and the biggest plus, live tuning over the stock gm ecu and hptuners. we spent a whole day tuning a turbo ls e36 swap a friend of ours built with hptuners trying to sort out the factory ecu immobilizer, making changes and waiting for it to flash. probably flashed that thing 50 times by the end. but again, for an NA car hptuners is pretty straight forward. once i threw the stock ecu away on my car i realized how much a good standalone can do. my car/tuner is doing things I have never even thought of, and ecutek is pretty damn good for our cars (in fa20 form)

I realize now my question was very vague, but what I meant with it was, what works and what doesn't regarding stock systems with the AEM Infitnity, A/C, PS, CC, any traction control options, airbags, ABS, push button, etc.

gotcha. unless you go with a motec setup where we already have all of the factory features working and sorted out, plan on finding someone who can sort out the can on an ecu that has can capabilities (infinity does). or use it in conjunction with the mrs can module. if i was doing this swap id go with motec with the custom firmware and harness if the budget was there, obviously im a bit biased lol. but if that wasn't available id prefer a custom harness and a standalone over a stock harness and hptuners. even on an NA setup because i highly doubt it would stay NA forever, and the ease of a standalone just makes life so much easier

Everything past cruise control could work with a gateway device if programmed properly. The AEM NET protocol is decently verbose and the Infinity series broadcasts a good amount of data.
