Miles?

Couple hundred miles with car with temps in the 90's ,...transmission working great as well as the car.....very unassuming sleeper. Absolutely perfect execution by Vorshlag Motorsports . Car is in for serious gauges ( as I really shouldn't of been driving it blind as I was) but I trusted their work and checked levels religiously. At Vorshlag now, as I stated above, sway bar (front) as a new bend or relocate is in order because of interference with header collectors. Canbus fix is a week or two out. Gauges will look exactly like this Miata but will be where the FRS radio goes. This car was made for this swap.

Ever thought of using an Android Head Unit with an OBD2-USB adapter to display the gauges, while maintaining the stereo functionality?

You'd still need something to display oil pressure, unless your CANBUS guy can integrate an oil pressure sensor into the bus, but atleast you get to keep your stereo. Otherwise something like these would maintain the sleeper aspect. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...6&postcount=88

Will the stock gauges (instrument cluster) function with the Canbus fix?

Yes they should all work.....but for track use you need real time gauges for added insurance.

I know you guys said to not ask when it's being released... but we're hitting (-)degC temps here in Canada and the cars are going into storage mode...soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Patiently waiting for this kit to become available..already have my salvage frs ready for body work and paint(replaced every body panel besides passenger door/passanger rear quater/rear bumper and trunk lid) and have my fully rebuilt ls1 well underway



One question I have,is the tremec magnum xl the only tranny that will be bolt in for this kit?or will a t56 out of a Gto work aswell?i know the new tremec don't use a remote shifter and obviously is a better tranny but a new tremec will cost me over 6 grand (living here in Canada) and where I work at a auto salvage yard I can get a t56 out of a Gto for less then 1500 I would be ok with a little less shift comfort to save 4500+ dollars(I only payed 4200$ for my
Driveable salvage frs and another 4600 to return in it in pefect stock condition with after market complete exhaust,intake,pulleys(which come on the car when I got it) and winjet headlights/taillights,and a duck bill spoiler(which i ordered) so saving 4500 on the build is a pretty big deal)

@Newfoundland_scion_frs If your mechanically inclined you can figure it out with a remote shifter.....possible a donor from a GTO? But you will need a different trans mount solution , and a different drive shaft other than whats provided with the Vorshlag kit.

[Newfoundland_scion_frs]

@cf6mech..that's the answer i was expecting,I'm very mechanically inclined so the Gto t56 may be my best option,or Ya never know I maybe buying the new tremec if I can source it for the right price...thanks a lot for you response and I will be following this thread and the vorschlag blog religiously awaiting the release date for the kit..I also need the wiring harness vorschlag had custom built,built my ls1 to be the mirror image of the one you have in your car so that spec built wiring harness will come in handy,when you get a chance could you PM me the manufacturer of that engine harness so I can order the same one

[cf6mech]

These gauges are fully programable with both high low warnings....and high memory peak recall....perfect for track use.

Pretty sure the harness will be proprietary to Vorshlag, but you could check with them.

Ok will do,just I hate to bother a company that is so busy but I'll check with them,if I have to order my own stand alone harness(making my Own messurements,connector details,ECT.)..and make my own tranny mount and a custom drive shaft, I would Be better off making the swap kit myself and ordering the headers/engine mounts alone from vorshlag or another vender that makes them...never the less thank you very much for your Input,I greatly Appreciate your time and knowledge!
