What wiring changes did you have to make to accomodate the LS3 intake? Did you start with a stock LY6 harness? Were sensors located in the same places, injector connectors the same, etc?

hereis where i cut to wire up gas pedal,,6 wires there.. hook directly to gas pedal..


[IMG][/IMG]

here pic of fuse block terminal.. most of red wires are hooked up on right side,,fuel injectors,ign,,etc.. one red/white wire was hook up on left side..hot constant.. other misc color wires are not hooked up,,besides big purple to my igntion key for starter..basically u dont need all the red wires and pink,,but to make it easy just hook them up to switch positive.. and find that red/white wire is ur hot constant..

Sounds real good! Is it just running with open exhaust? Did you do a cam or anything?

think 30 psi is too low?.. i made my own oil pick up tube.. not the best.. rev it up it see's 80+ psi oil.. . i dontt kno what these vvt oil pressure should be at ideal,, 40 psi when cold.. i might just end up buying an aftermarket oil pan with pick up tube.. i wired the guage right into the factory sensory.. still attached to ecm.. since i couldnt find a metric adapter anywhere!!

That kicks a$$ Look like you have quit a bit of work ahead of you to get the dash and interior set up. Thing sounds killer can wait to see the turbo set up. Are you doing the turbo now while you do the exhaust or you going to wait till later?
