First LS build
#82
Got the injectors installed last week. Last few bits and pieces will be here next week. Ordered fuel line fittings to adapt the flex fuel sensor, remote bleeder for the clutch, bolts for the pressure plate, oil catch can and a few other bits. Hope to have the engine back to the house tomorrow and installed in the k member. Getting to the home stretch now. I’m so freaking ready to hear this thing fire up!

Take the brake booster out. Then it's cake

Went through all my receipts this morning and added them all up. Build cost wasn't too bad really. Adding a spreadsheet with totals. All prices include tax and shipping if they had it. Ended up buying myself HPT to tune the car with the help of my tuner friend. Should be here by the end of next week.

Are you running a stock ecm and what all needed to be done to install the flex fuel sensor?
#96
Yes, I’m running the stock 0411 ecm. You can do it with p59 ecm as well. All you have to do is run switched power, ground and the signal wire to pin 56 on the blue connector. Also have to change the os in the ecm to a 02 Tahoe. As that’s the only os for a 0411 ecm that has flex fuel tables. There are some other little things, but that’s about it.

I'd really like to see what all is needed and what needs to be done to make it work. I was under the impression I could only tune for C85 because the E85 is inconsistent and the factory ECM was not capable of running a flex fuel sensor and correcting for the alcy content. Now I'm seeing that this is just not the case!
