I am in the process of building a vehicle real similar to the XR311. Will be powering it with a 2014 L83 and a 6L80 with a manual shift Dana 300 transfer case.
My questions that I have as of now are:
1. With using the E92 ecm, are there any ecms batch numbers that are easier to program than the others?
2. The 6L80 is from an 08 Pontiac G8, will this TCM be able to be flashed/programmed to work with the 2014 L83?
3. When I got the motor, it was a pull from a truck without the ecm and wiring harness. Other than the "shift on the fly" wiring for 4x4, are there any differences between the 2wd and 4wd wiring harnesses?
4. The L83 will get the AFM/DOD delete and possibly the VVT delete as well, undecided on the VVT at this time. Which software is the easiest to do this with?
Sorry you didn't get any answers here! That IS a unique vehicle, and you might have asked about things that were outside the ballpark of many here.
I wish you good luck in this interesting project!
Oh well, the questions I asked were directly about the L83 motor and the 6L80 trans. Just figured that with all of the experience here that someone would have the answers I was looking for. Thanks.
Yeah, there isn't a LOT of GenV stuff out yet on here since it's so new. What I tell everyone is, go find Mitch's channel SwapTime on YouTube. He's going to be the best resource for the LT swap stuff at the moment.
Thanks for the recommendation. He does have a lot of videos doing swaps.
Yup, he also does harnesses and actual engine swaps too. Generally seems like a helpful guy. Gen5 fueling is one of the most confusing parts of the gene swaps, Holley has DI solved, but I think using the OEM FPCM is the future. Check out VaporWorx too, Carl is absolutely one of the innovators of PWM fuel systems and I hope he continues to give guidance to the next wave of swappers on LT engines.
