So did you get rid of the engine bay harness that goes through the firewall on both sides to make your own harness?

Not yet.. still driving it with the fa20 in it. My car basically has two sets of wiring in it right now.

Finished up the PDM wiring this weekend. PDM is controlling the radiator fans, motec ECU, coils, lambda controllers, and reverse lockout solenoid. Some sensors, gps module, and dash control buttons wired into it as well. It’s also taking data from two can buses. On the CAN1 bus I have the Motec and the factory Subaru bus. On CAN2 I have the two AEM lambda controllers and MSEL battery relay. Will be adding the Aim RIO02 module to that bus too when it’s finally released.

Really happy with how the dash looks assembled.

Still need to wire the fuel level sensor, mount the gps antenna, and figure out the can messages for some of the dash indicators. Half tempted to just take those in as analog signals though. Was trying to learn how to sniff can messages but I didn’t get very far.

If you look closely you can see the M130 peaking through. Ethernet connection is for the ECU.

Finally started doing the actual swap!

Going in/out from the bottom.

Master cylinder mount courtesy of @spitsnaugle

Decided to use a fuel manifold fed by the two factory 5/16” hoses. Also has the fuel pressure sensor and 6an feed to the factory ls3 fuel rail

I’ve made a lot of progress the past couple of weekends.

I’ve been doing my best to document as I go but sometimes I get on a roll and forget to take pics of the process.

A lot of fab work this past weekend. Getting pretty close now!

Shift hole block off plate for using the Joe’s racing shifter boot. Factory console and shifter boot will go over this but this will keep the road debris out of the cabin.

Reversed the inlet/outlet on my verus radiator for cleaner plumbing with the LS

I had a lot of scrap cuts trying to make the y pipe work out just right. Pipe fitting definitely takes a lot of patience and practice. It’s something I will need to do a lot more of to be good at. Took me forever but the end result is decent.

Going to reuse the back half of my old exhaust. The cat will come out but behind that will stay the same. Only a few more pieces to go.

Thanks!

I made some more progress on the exhaust last night. I just need to add the O2 bungs and finish welding a couple seems. I’m using a Burns Stainless 3”IDx4.5”ODx27” race muffler in the tunnel and a vibrant muffler out back. Can’t wait to hear it!
