I paid wait4meperformance.com to do it. Now that I have read pinouts and ---- like that, I think it would be fairly simple to do it myself. I know I could do it cleaner too!

The electrical all together is rather simple. All you need is a switched source for the injectors and coils, a starter relay thats hot when cranking, and ground the engine to the chassis and the harness to both the engine and chassis. Then the rest of it is cake, tach signal from the ecu(splice into your tach signal, set to 4 cylinder mode, thats what ls1 engines run on), check engine light, fans, speed sensor for speedometer, and some other misc stuff.

The biggest job was re-wiring the headlights on the car. Now they have 2 relays, one for low beam and one for high. My headlights are white now, now yellow. Even that though was straight forward.

It comes down to, if you can read a pinout, solder half decent, and have patients... Your good to go.

Christ, Moving ---- and making brackets is getting tiresome lol. Got the PS and Tranny cooler mounted up, painted, lines ran, etc. Got the intercooler painted. Much more stealthy. Made mounts for the bottom of the intercooler, Now its super solid and tucked up nice against the rad.

Thank you, I wanted to be the first to put them on a Chevelle. ZR1's had been done but not the C5 Z06 so a buddy of mine that has a machine shop made me some adapters out of billet.

This project moves fairly slow. Its built from pay check to pay check. An honest guys budget.

On another note. Aaron @ Weirtech is building me a bad *** 2-1 merge. I told him I needed it to be as compact as possible. With the ability to put 2 complete v band assemblies on. Along with a spot for a wastegate. Check it out so far!

Wastegate hole will go there, but a pipe will be welded moving the gate slightly outwards.

Makes takin it off and on much easier. Rather then fishing a whole hot side out, I can take it out in 2 pieces. Much easier. i would add more if I could afford it hahha
