Time to build a motor, what options have others found?

[Cross]

So today I got my swap harness from Weapons Grade Performance and all I can say is I am less than pleased.

This is nothing more than a harness I could have had any number of other shops create for any LS Swap into another vehicle. This is not a plug and play. I sent the FRS PCM and Harness, the PCM came back externally damaged and the harness is no where to be found. (Hints the lack of plug and play)

The cost to make the LS Swap harness was 470.00 out of the 1000 I sent. I had local shops who do this I went with Weapons Grade for the simple fact I wanted plug and play, I wanted everything working and I made this clear in every phone call, message and text with WGP. So for an extra 530.00 I was supposed to get that. Instead I am sent back a damaged PCM and no plug and play harness after this long of a wait.

I am trying to get answers at this time as to why things are this way but I have a feeling I just got screwed out of my factory wiring harness for the FRS and I not only need that but a new PCM...

So far I have gotten the response "That's Odd" and "Those morons didn't finish it" and that is it. I am assuming he is looking into it (Doug from WGP) but at this point I am still upset because look at this situation that was started because I wanted a no issues easy electrical setup instead of fighting with it myself.
Here is to hoping it get's handled quickly. I have all the old Text's and I went through them, they say I want a full plug and play and he tells me what I need to send and what he does to make it that way so we were without a doubt both on the same page.

So as of right now, Doug has let me know he will handle a shipping label back and find where my missing FRS harness is so he can have the harness finished. Good news, we are still talking about the PCM damage but for now he appears to be quick to handle it. That's definitely something to be thankful for.
He just told me the Under Dash PCM is the only one to worry about this one is of no concern in the swap so that's good news I guess except I couldn't sell it but oh well I don't care about that, so long as everything works that is all I care about.

This is really looking like a huge waste of my time. I am trying to get answers at this time as to why things are this way but I have a feeling I just got screwed out of my factory wiring harness for the FRS and I not only need that but a new PCM...

Isn't that the controller for the direct injectors? Not sure how that would integrate into a V8 swap, but then again I've never done one so who knows.

either way, that sucks to hear about your experience.

That sucks :-( I was told the harness was plug and play but im not doing the install so Idk.

I believed that to be the Engine PCM but I could be wrong. Doug just told me it is not used but we did talk about having to use my EcuTek setup to shut off codes so I am waiting for clarification.

So far Doug is in contact and handling it quickly, I guess I am far to used to companies just not giving a damn Doug has been really good so far getting back to me.

That's the controller for the direct injectors as far as I know. The actual ECU is located under passenger side dash, behind the glove box.

It looks like this



Either way, it's shitty that they broke the connectors on it. That will not be cheap for them to replace, which is what they should do.

Frankly it's only worth something to sell it and well maybe at some point it would have been but to me it's worthless as it's not the PCM as I thought it was.

So as long as everything get's handled I don't care about that issue I can leave it be. Yes it sucks but if his customer service makes up for it then that is all that matters to me. (And that the wiring setup works as promised)

I have heard of the DI controller failing on a couple cars, so it does have some value and it definitely should have been protected in the shipping process. I would be very worried about the quality of your conversion harness if they can't even handle shipping that back without it being damaged.
