I think its 8 years or 80,000 miles, which ever comes first.

This is what I found

I think if I wanted to do a v8 swap then Synergy or Voodoo. I like the LS/LT motors too, but I would rather stay NA and have the revs. I would buy a dedicated track car though. This will be awesome if you get a CARB sticker. I’m waiting for Harrop to get their SC CARB approved. Having driven modified “illegal” cars in the past, I love the idea of legal mods like this. I hope this all works out.

2800 miles. Yeah I had a jdm s14 I sold it to go the legal route. Hope it pans out.

Any update?

Ordering all the major parts at the end of June. It took a little longer than I wanted to stack up the funds.

Anyone know where to get a stand alone harness for a 2015 LT4 with all the emission control electronics supported? I sent out a email to Speartech to see if I can have one made. Hopefully I hear back from them soon.

SpearTech should be able to do this.

The biggest issue you will run into will be evaporative emissions as the tank size and float isn't the same usage, so there will always be one monitor that will never clear.

They confirmed they can build the harness for me. @MRS-Colin Do you know how to get that issue resolved for the evaporitive emission monitor? Hopefully without swaping in a Chevy fuel tank.

BAD ROD · 06-03-2018, 08:49 PM

Thanks for the update Zer0. Great project.

Zer0 · 06-04-2018, 03:07 AM

Thanks. Hopefully everything goes well. Lol it never does, but hopefully I achieve my goal. I will start a swap thread after I get the parts ordered so people can see the process I go through.

Essentially PCM calculates estimated fuel usage and also looks at the resistance level of the float in the tank.

The estimated fuel usage needs to line up with the amount the fuel level resistance negative change over time based on the size of the fuel tank.

I don't think this value is allowed to be calibrated anywhere so you might need to rig up some sort of resistor matrix to get the value properly from the BRZ sender.

Ordered the Oem catalytic converters, exhaust manifolds, and air filter housing with intake tube. Should be ordering the engine and supporting parts in the beginning of July. Once I get that I will be starting the work.

Zer0, I’ve started my swap fund, to follow in your footsteps.
