On another page you will see his info on DBW compatibility on what works and what does not.
According to your pic of your PCM, the series number is a 2003 year run. You'll see that on the lt1swap ID page. Also on the DBW page you'll see which pedals and TAC (throttle actuator control) you will need.
I am prepping a 2003 DBW harness today and I can send pics of those DBW components and their model numbers if you would like. Shoot me a PM if I can help that way.
Education is the best use of your time in the LS game. Im sure there are other great sites as well for more info. HTH Chuck |
OK, THANKS, Chuck. That website you gave me confirmed a 2003 LQ9. Now I have to decide what to do with it. The harness is pretty bad, darn junkmen appeared to try to unplug some of it and then just cut some of it. Lost all the seals for the injector plugs, left the main trans. plug, but, cut the smaller branches (veh. speed sensor?). I really need to study what to do. I don't really want to convert to carb., wanted to avoid a pricey F.A.S.T. controller. That may be what I end up with, along with the EZ TCI. Anyway, the engine was cheap, so, if it looks ok inside, I might decide to spend what I need to get it going and maybe a cam, pushrod, spring, upgrade.
This is why those $1500-$2500 ebay "drop-outs" scare me.
Thanks, again, and if you or anyone else has a wonderful recipe for budget power, fire away, I'm all ears.
Budget is a relative term, I'm thinking $2000-$2500 if possible. That would make me a fairly low buck hot rod. Then, I would KNOW what I have, rather than the ebay engines.
