Is their any modification that has to be done while doing the swap? Does it utilize the traction control?

Well we're not done yet, but as with any engine swap there is lots of modifications involved. The only thing we had to do to the chassis was widen the transmission tunnel, but there will be more work involved in order to retain factory functions such as traction control. We aren't at that point yet, but when we are I will make sure to post about it!

Do you know if they plan to do anything for the wiring harness? That's the main hurdle for me when it comes to the LS swap.

CX? No, they're just making the swap kit.

With that being said, either I or one of my sponsors will be offering a wiring/tuning solution once it's done. More on that once the swap has been completed and is running, tested, etc!

wiring is the hurdle as well for me in both cases the 2jz and v8 swap, as of right now, I'll just sit back and watch! I know you must be excited! that's going to be one hell of a car!

Standalone ems + racepak. Problem solved?

I had a aim dash in the lotus when I did the honda swap, for this car I prefer to have everything looking and working like stock

That's always an option, but why not retain the factory components? I will be running a standalone EMS and trying to maintain as many of the factory features as possible. This include gauges, traction control, etc.

Glorious! I'll be waiting on your impressions on how the handling balance has changed.

SWP BRZ · 05-01-2015, 03:59 PM

Fits pretty damn well. Curious as to what the turn key cost of this would end up being?
