Wiring problem?
Just happened to run into this thread. I am trying to do a fiero Lsj supercharged ecotec swap. I talked to a company who is very confident that
he can take my fiero harness and splice it together with his aftermarket ecotec harness. He can also wipe the anti theft stuff also. Didn't
know if you still needed this info, I couldn't read the whole thread it 2 am here est. Try www.enginewiring.com.
Later.

17's looks to be the best size for your platform IMHO. Not quite sure what bolt pattern your gonna end up in the end, or what wheel style you want to go with (3 piece, flush, mono block) but The 5zigen FNO1RC's come in 17x7, 17x8, 17x9, and 17x10 with he 5x114.3. I hated these wheels when I first saw them, but with 17x8" front & 17x10" rears with a 12 or 25 offset, These things look mean (and pretty light). A mesh design would look sick as well. just another .02 to add to the jar.

A very interesting build. The rear diffuser, coupled with the exhaust note & BOV are gonna be the root of many puzzled expressions. Can't wait to seem more!!!!

What kind of steering are you using? Are you staying with the stock chevette rack and pinion? or are you going with something a faster? have you made any head way on the project?

I do have to say this looks like a killer project! I saw a pic in a Readers' Rides section of (I believe) Car Craft... it was an '80s Chevette with 17s... ever since then I knew these econoboxes could look cool :D

Up until reading where you're actually from, I figured it would be MI seeing the pics of Schram (ordered a fuel pump from there last week). I live up near Flint.



On the wheels, I'm with sticking with the C6 wheels, I think they look awesome on the car :D The satin/matte/(whatever that finish is) looks perfect with the rest of the car.

For the engine harness, have you checked out Howell EFI (www.howellefi.com)? Bill Howell actually used to work for GM on the EFI systems to my understanding. They do LS harnesses, and may be able to do one for the Ecotec.

I'm as anxious as everyone else to see this thing done! And congrats on a new house! :D

He hasnt signed on since 4-09

[Paul_J]

Yeah, I hope the economy didn't kill this project. It's put a dent in mine.

[Doober]

Oops I do hope he's still working on it too.

It put a dent in your project?? I think you're entitled to some damages

I wouldn't buy another harness from Howell if it were 1$ and came with a team of techs to help me install it.

Shiny Side Up!

Really? What issues did you have? Was it the harness? Customer support?
