Default Pure Automotive's FR-SS, Modified LS2 / T56 Swap, 2013 Scion FRS - Video Inside!

Hey guys,

We finally got our LS swapped 2013 Scion FRS started up yesterday, so I thought I'd share the video and some pictures!

The facts:

T56 From 2006 Pontiac GTO

Dual ECU Setup: FRS ECU For All Required Functions on the chassis, tuned on ECUTEK Engine Management. CTS-V ECU For engine control, tuned on HP Tuners VCM Suite.

LSX-R Comp Cam
Comp Lifters, Push Rods, Trunions

Still have some odds and ends to iron out but it's getting close!

Startup Video:

What's the rear end in those cars? I imagine that it can't be super strong...

Also, please remove that junky *** Russell fitting off the fuel rail unless you want that gorgeous car to be burned down to the ground. Take that rail and have a -6 fitting welded to it.

Stock gears are around 4.10 ratio i think. It held the power when it was turbo at 477rwhp and 360tq. But when it does blow, there's a mount kit to use the Ford 8.8 rear that will be going in next.

I've been reading up on those... I am 100% sure that it is "Properly clicked in place" because I read that the problem is when they are not properly installed they will blow off. Should I still be concerned?

The factory ECU and body side harness remain the same. The GM ECU controls the powertrain and shares a handful of wires with the factory body harness.
