• One thing to note and be mindful of when selecting an LS engine to be used in a conversion is what ECU/PCM you want to use in relation to what LS engine type you have/want, thats if you’re wanting to use a factory PCM.

    The most common ECU/PCM to use for ease and simplicity is the P01 PCM found in VTII-VYII V8. These have the ability to run cable…[Read more]

  • another + for TCE here as well, its all we use at work, good bunch of guys there that know their stuff.

  • Thanks Jaba, appreciate it.

    Yeah that would be awesome if its not too much trouble, I’m aware they change to basically a VE offset but for some reason can’t find any definite measurements for the caliper clearances for the CTSV 6pot brembos.
