Around what this set you back. Since if I ever get sent to the referee I might as well do something like this.

Re: E-rod installed
Looks like a very nice install, great job
Did you take any pics of the underside... it would be interesting to see how the cats that they supply mounted up

Re: E-rod installed
Do you have part numbers on those manifolds and cats by any chance?
I'm struggling on exhaust for my ls swap.

Re: E-rod installed
nice swap. any videos of the vehicle?
iirc you can do a a case re learn with hp tuners.
i believe i had the same issue when i first did my swap , my code picked up a few misfires.

Re: E-rod installed
Really clean build. I'd love to do something like this someday. Emissions legal is not something you see often on this site sadly.
Do you have a list of all of the parts you used on the build by chance?

Re: E-rod installed
CARB has established that iron or aluminum doesn't matter for engine blocks, that different displacements within an engine family doesn't matter, and light truck sourced parts functionally identical to passenger car versions using the same engine family doesn't matter. Thank the old SBC V8 for those last 2.
The caveat is the tuning. So for LSx retrofit swaps, the 5.3L Monte has a useful tune, likewise the LS2 for LQ4s. But the 4.8 never came in any car, which is why mine is now in my S-10.
The ERod swap is worthless until it passes, and even then it's overpriced by around nine grand.

Re: E-rod installed
Yep, it passed everything, except the visual.Due to the exhaust manifolds.Got an engineer at the Bar trying to get CARB to allow the OE manifold swap.Since its already in the GM manual.No guarantees though.
I'm also tryin to get the supplied manifolds to fit.Which means more modifying on the x-member.In the meantime, ive put 1600 plus trouble free miles on it.

Re: E-rod installed
just out of curiosity since i am not in CA (but thinking about doing one of these for a normal plate with no restrictions in PA), then to get your cert did you have to swap in the supplied manifolds which it sounds like you are working on before you can technically drive it on the street?

Re: E-rod installed & Passed
Wow, really? So it's got a global computer like the new camaros that save the last X amount of calibrations? What about changing for tire sizes. Will that hurt you as well?

Re: E-rod installed & Passed
I believe so, ECU/eng are based off a 2011 Camaro, just simpler.Theres no egr/air inj & evap are not supported.
The TCU lets you program tire size &/or final drive, if you change either of those or both.This way the ECU can compensate the changes.
