whats timeline on the lsx swap kit since i want this to get back on topic

Amir Ghadiri · 09-03-2015, 05:23 AM

So I have been VERY busy the past few weeks, but have worked through countless nights to finally get this car running. I have made many small changes but most importantly have switched to a throttle body EFI system. I did NOT need to make a harness for anything, I just tapped a few wires and got everything important to work. The engine is 100% independent of the factory computers and harnesses, and that's really what I wanted. Literally the only factory part used is the ignition to send the cranking signal to the starter, and even that is wired directly. I might eventually switch back to an LS style intake manifold but I'm in no rush to do so. I will update the thread again once I get everything finalized, then the car will go back to CX Racing for the turbo kit, then to my bodyshop for paint.

For now, the car runs and drives. I took it around the block tonight and everything seemed to check out okay. Make sure to watch the video and see it run!

So when routing the fuel lines, I assumed the three fuel lines were: feed, return, feed. Little did I know that our cars have a returnless fuel system, and what I assumed a return line was a vapor feed line. I ran the car today and fixed the overheating problems I had, but the car started POURING fuel out of the breather near the filler neck. I removed all the vapor related evap junk, drilled a hole for a new return, and ran a new breather. Check it out!

Very nice!

Do you have all functioning gauges yet? And do you know when CX racing will be releasing their LS swap kit

My speedometer and fuel gauge are working and accurate. I have yet to connect my coolant temp sensor or tach signal as the handheld for my standalone reads those. I will do it soon though! Before those will come ABS and power steering

Those are the two most important lol. Any word on how long before the kit goes on sale (also the 2j kit)?

I don't do time attack anymore, sorry. Just drift! I did however consistently get 48/49 when I was running the stock FA back in 2013
