Engine bay, firewall, behind glove box?? Tools needed?

any help would be awesome

thanks...

 

Engine bay right infront of the fuse box.

 

the big silver thing on the drivers side with two connectors coming out of it.

 

Awesome, located it.

Will i need any tools, or is it just those 2 plastic clips...

thanks guys

 

Just undo the harnesses from it and plug them into the new one!

 

sweet,
Thanks guys....now all i have to do is decide what tuning route i will go, All I want is a 300whp daily driver....

GM
Superchips
BSR
HPT
Trifecta
Westers

decisions decisions... Well at least the aftermarket is really taking off for this car.

 

HP Tuners.... will get you 300+

 

And will let you do whatever you want for the most part to your car

+1 on the HPT

 

HI Sted... and yes constant custom hands on tuning FTMFW!

 

Seeing as I wont be doing the tuning because i dont have time to learn all the tricks of HP,

Id have to find someone reputable to tune me so i dont F up my new ride.

If anyone here knows anybody in the chicagoland area who really knows what the hell theyre doin, let a brother know

u will just need tools to disconnect ur battery thats it

 

Drive down to Kansas City... Have Area do it for you!

 

Are you suppose to unplug the battery? LOL I never do that I just turn the car off and swap the ECUs and it works fine

 

you need to unplug it, thats the right way.

8 Hours... 516 miles.... dayum

 

Tuning an LNF yourself is super easy though.

If you troll around on the hptuner forums you could probably learn everything you need to know in order to tune your car yourself.

 

hilarious

 

im a clumsy ****, what can i say, i like to know what im getting into

 

A stupid question, but how do you disconnect the battery?

 

Not stupid, you just don't know.
Use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the bolt on the negative battery clamp (under the mat in the trunk) and lift it off the post.

 

woa had a scare, i guess one of the 2 plugs wasnt seated right No mileage was displayed and the car wouldnt start.... I thought i had run into a clutch relearn situation, but i got it reconnected, and all i had to do was a oil reset and TPMS relearn, good to go!

Seeing as ill be staying pretty stock, i dont want to burn through my clutch and be buying tires that often im goin the superchips route, 280ish whp and 310wtq is just as good as the PPC and a third of the price.

thanks guys

 

Mine relearned the TPMS as soon as I rolled it out of the garage. Had to reset the oil life though.

 

so can the an ecu swap be detected by the dealership?

 

im sure if they really really looked for it, they could tell. I chose to because it should cut down on hassle i may recieve at different dealerships. Im going to be running a very mild tune, so im not expecting my engine or driveline components to fail. I want the OEM ECU in for minor things that are not the tunes fault or operator error, which should be fixed by GM (misc CELs)
