does anyone know where to get a stand alone harness for the L92 motor configuration? Im trying to find one that needs little to no modification to work right out of the box, but expect 2 problems; the first that im switching to a cable driven throttle body and the second is im going to be using an older ECM since ive eliminated the the VVT. Maybe there is another truck motor stand alone harness that will plug directly in? any suggestion are much appreciated! Its going into a 1984 s-10 with no electronics other than whats needed for the motor, so one of the hot rod stand alones could work?

So it is a 6.2L engine with a cable TB?
Sounds like you just need a basic LS truck harness, with a TRG module to convert the Crank and Cam sensors for the old computer to run it.

Nothing special.

There are a few guys selling standalone harnesses for under 500 bucks on ebay. Is it a 24x?

No, the L92 didn't even come out until '07, so it's well into the 58x range. What you're talking about now (after removing the DBW & VVT) is pretty much just an ordinary LS-series swap. And no offense, but removing the VVT is retarded.

There are a few E38 58X Standalone harnesses out there. I agree, stay with the 58x setup, why go backwards.

ya removing the vvt was retarded. I should have bought another VVT cam to replace the damaged one and I shouldnt even put the turbo on it. And i should sell the forged rods and pistons.In fact, im going to buy an escalade with a blown motor and put my motor in it This thing will make more power than I need pretty much everywhere in the power band, im over everyone swinging on VVTs nuts and gas mileage means absolutely nothing to me before you go down that road....

Im just torn between these 2 problems; if I use a E38 stand alone harness, ill have to re-pin it for the older computer, and if I use a non-vvt truck harness, ill have to move the knock sensor wires, and i believe change some other plugs, correct?

You are correct there are a few connectors that must be replaced. Why dont you just run the E38 PCM?????

I thought it couldnt be used if I elmininted the throttle by wire and VVT? when I first started researching when I bought this thing I was told if I got rid of those 2 things I couldnt use that PCM for some reason, so I was going to run an older one with a reluctor convertor

My bad. Missed the throttle by wire part. That is correct. Now for another question, why get rid of the throttle by wire? no tac module required and simple 6-pin connector for the pedal.

well, it was suggested by a company I was talking to about a stand alone harness that I not use the TBW set up. They said with as old as my truck was it wouldnt be a good idea, which didnt really make sense to me, but ive just kinda rolled with it.
On the other hand, I wanted to use the TBW after being told it would work better for idle and driveability as a result of the faster operating PCM. Im definitly not opposed to it, just want to hear if there is any reason why I shouldnt. Can you just eliminate the VVT in the E38 PCM or what?

Not sure about elimating the VVT. Someone else?

Regarding the DBW, I cannot see a good reason for eliminating it unless you have a setup that requires the tac module and pedal and you dont have either and cost is an issue. But the nice thing about the E38 is you dont need a tac module and the pedals can be purchased through GM for less than $100. As far as keeping the DBW reason is the E38 requires it.

well ill keep watching this for some more opinions *bump * I have a little time before I need to purchase this stuff I guess...

By the way, if you went with an older PCM, how would you convert the 58x to a 24x crank signal?

lingenfelter sells a convertor.

Just get the GMPP LS3 harness. You may have to lengthen some wires and change a couple of plugs. It uses the E67 ECU, but I am not sure if it will allow you to retain the VVT. I used the same harness on my L92, but I converted mine to use the LS3 intake and eliminated the VVT. My main reason for getting rid of the VVT was to use the Corvette accessory drive. Details in my build thread. Link in sig.

What is the TAC module btw?

well I just had a moment of clarity and remembered another reason why I didnt want the throttle by wire; im going to be running a TH350 and didnt want to run a MVB, and I dont think there is any way to set up a kick down cable on TBW... Or is there?

Sounds like you should talk to a few other harness companies and get some different opinions about what will and won't work.
