Re: Hybrid swap

That is exactly what I have in my tank. I got it because i wanted to run e85. which i did run for about 5 months. It works fine and also is e85 compliant. If you put it in there, youll never need a bigger pump ever. Its a good choice

Here is where i got mine. Alot cheeper and it worked just fine. Genuine walbro.

Re: Hybrid swap

2.8 harness
Just a quick question on the fuel injector harness for the 3400 since the connector isnt the same as the old 2.8s i pulled apart my 3.1 injector harness because i have the old bosch connector on my new injectors and its wired together pretty crazy will i need to do that to the 3400 harness? Ik the 3400 has sfi verses the mpfi.

I bought a kit from BBC. So it bolted right up on the pass side of the block next to the water pump. I had to Change all of my belt routing when I did the hybrid swap. My alternator is on the drivers side now. See the pic and you can see my stuff is all moved around turn buckles help a lot. I don't use a tensioner anymore either.

Re: Hybrid swap

I tried to make my own kit but it didnt work out so well..lol you would have to either buy or have a reluctor wheel made with 7 notches in it. Then make a bracket that would hold the crank sensor littlery a playing cards width away from the relctor wheel. Is there a number for BBC that you can call while their site is down? For 150 bucks their kits are well worth the time and hassle.

Re: Hybrid swap

The 3-pin you will need to add about a foot of wire to... It's for the CKP. The CKP on the 3100 is on the back of the engine under the ignition module, so the wiring is short. On the RWD setup, you will need to run the wiring across the front of the engine and down to the sensor so you need to add wire.

The 6-pin wires up as stock. Only issue is you need to make sure you don't mess up wiring the white wires in. There's 2 of them. One is the EST signal and the other is the TACH wire. The RED/BLK wires to the BLK/RED (not sure why GM decided to reverse the wire colors but they did...).

As for the alternator, you need to get a 3.4 alt. The stock one doesn't bolt to the bracket. And you will need to modify it for the valve cover clearance.

I hope you got the 3.4 belt tensioner as well... 3.1 tensioner won't work as the mounting pattern and the direction of rotation for loosening the belt is different. Without AIR and without A/C I used a 615K6 belt...

i actualy modifyed my stock alternator it works now. The thing is is i had to buy new connectors and they are not color coded. Every wire on them is white thats why i needed pics so ik which goes where. And my tach wire is non existant😂 idk where it is because where it would run is cut at the ignition pack

Re: Hybrid swap

Ok so everything is wired up and works the next step is figuring out how to setup my spark tables
I am sticking with $3a for my build and im not looking to switch at the moment. If someone could take a look at the files and inform me what to do that would be awesome. Gearhead efi has the files listed in there forms ill probably post a link i have them on a flsh drive but lack access to a computer until next week

I will be quite honest I remember trying to help somebody a few years back with that same computer and we came out empty-handed when trying to tune it. I know that's not what you wanted here and I'm sure there is a way to tune it but it is a very very slow computer with very very little support a 730 would be the perfect computer for you if you have the time and such to switch it over

Re: Hybrid swap

What do you mean when you say slow and yeah tuning support is very limited unfortunatly id be more apt to swap if i had a new wiring harness for a 3.1 the one i has seen better days lol it came with the motor so i cant complain tho

I am not sure how old you are but I am 32. You remember about 15 years ago when you would go online and click something and it will take 2 minutes to load the page if not longer LOL that's what I mean by that computer is slow. I remember doing some data logging with a 302 ECM and it was almost irritating because the feedback from the sensors was not fast at all. It was like its refresh rate was very slow. I am not saying you can't tune that computer because I'm sure if you can I just don't know how to do it myself.

I don't want to give you any misinformation so maybe you should head over to tuning part of this forum. The dyi ecm. Areas. They might help slot more.

The '302 reads boost with g/sec, you need to tune for larger injectors and extend the MAF tables. If I were you I would repin your stock harness for the '165 setup, then get started on your tuning. There is a lot out there in terms of support if you go that route...

Not that I have ever re pinned a ecm for a swap, but its it much more difficult to repin it for a 7730? He could then run a $59 mask which is easy as cake to tune for DIS ignition and even with a 1 bar map as well. Then when he turbos it he could go up to a 3 bar or stick with $58 and run 2 bar. OR then again he could run 8D.....

All excellent options, but the good thing about his existing setup is that he can re-pin his existing harness to run the '7165 and either run a MAF translator w/custom chip to read higher than 255 g/sec, or run the $12P mask which is Speed Density using the MAF based ECM. A major plus for the '7730 is the amount of support found on this website.

By the way, I read that you switched to a V8. I told you a long time ago when you first started that you had nothing to prove to anyone, so don't go overboard, and after years and years of playing with the turbo V6, you finally understand what I meant. We get wrapped up in the game and lose sight of what was the original goal, and I am glad to see you are with a V8 and having fun with it. Seen the video, the damn thing revs quick. It's only a matter of time before you turbo it...

I didn't know you could do that with the 165. That is another good option for him. Either way he goes I think doing a ECM swap to one of those two would be very beneficial for him and make it much easier to tune the vehicle especially if he's running the dis ignition.

I definitely like the V8 it's very fun it's not as fast right now but I'm sure it could be much faster later. I will say I did lose sight of what I was trying to accomplish years ago. I felt like I was under a microscope or getting scrutinized by others especially V8 people. Thats why I kept pushing the V6 so hard. I made about 30 min 11-second passes with that car so I feel like that even though I left the V6 world for now I definitely left my mark. Chasing down times and pushing the limits. I will never ever forget that V6 it was such a fun car but damm did it have a lot of maintenance in the lot of upkeep to keep that grenade going. And yes I do plan on turboing this V8 one day it already has a lot of forged guts on it so it's halfway setup for a decent turbo setup. For now I want to get back to what I grew up doing and bracket race and win some rounds now I just have to learn how to tune a carburetor LOL

Well I'm either switching to a RMT or a Procharger, still undecided, but the current turbo system I am done using. The AC system is going back on too. Sooooo, I have a complete AC delete setup, and a set of turbo headers with T4 flange w/wastegate, that can all be used with a blow through carb. Yes, I'm a bad influence lol...

Re: Hybrid swap

Lookin at repinning for the 165 it seems really easy and very straight forward. Id prefer not buying even more stuff lmao but if tjis will work tons better than the 302 why not. Now street lethal have you done the swap b4 if so how were your results? Can i convert the ecm to speed density?

Re: Hybrid swap





head studs, MLS gaskets, 918 behive springs, walbro fuel pump, and turbo headers are on their way. You are getting the original turbo headers I made so they're not perfect but they're sealed up good and to be honest I think you're getting a good deal on everything so it's a win-win situation for us both I can't wait to see your build come together I hope you continue on and do great things

Re: Hybrid swap

Well a little update.
As of Oct 6 i am a 11c mortar infantryman in the us army. It was a long and hard 14 weeks but well worth it. Im really excited for whats in store for me these next 3 years. With that said i can now do exactly what i wanted to do with this build without the shortcuts lol and fix some things that i could overlook and keep with this build.
some new upgrades to come
borg warner turbo
alky injection
Full porting
MS3 ecm
4 speed tranny
stage 4 clutch kit
and prolly a bunvh of other stuff i cant think of at the moment lol this is of course gonna span the next 3 years. I did buy the ms3 so i can ditch my stock ecm now and not worry about its limitations. The clutch is next with a tranny gonna get a boost controller too alot to come!!!
