LS3 E38 PCM Universal / Standalone Swap Harness Super simple chassis connections – no OEM fuseboxes needed. Ignition, Fuel Pump & Gauges – a handful of labeled wires for you to connect. Fully finished harness – all loom secured and engine / transmission connectors attached. Key Features Include: Integrated Coil Pack Harnesses – both banks now provided for no extra charge Standalone 5 Circuit Bussmann Fuse/Relay Block provided – no connections to OEM fuse boxes needed Circuits provided: Ignition, Fuel Pump, Fan1, Fan2 & A/C relay (if not using A/C can be used for aux function like oil or diff cooler fan etc) Proper gauge wiring support for Dual 30 Amp PCM-controlled electric cooling fans ThermaShield 1,2200F Aluminum / Fiberglass Connector protection provided on knock sensors – no more melted knock sensor connectors The 6L80/6L90 Auto Trans CAN Option Supports: A/C Request Tap Up/ Tap Down Tow/ Haul Mode Park/ Neutral Starter Relay Safety Reverse Lights Relay Output CAN -> Speedometer Output CAN -> Tachometer Output SUPPORTED ENGINES: GM 6.2 LITER LS3 ENGINES USING DRIVE BY WIRE / ELECTRONIC THROTTLE 2011-2014 Chevrolet Camaro 2008-2014 Chevrolet Corvette 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe / Silverado CHASSIS: BMW E36 Any BMW E36 manufactured in 1992-1999 Factory Speedometer functions by utilizing the ABS system outputs. As long as this system is properly functional, the speedometer will remain accurate. Factory Tachometer remains accurate unless number of cylinders changes. Use Dakota Digital SGi-8 if the number of cylinders has changed from factory. A/C wiring utilizes stock BMW fuse box AC relay and wiring. The AC compressor connector must be wired to the chassis’ output AC signal wire. Retains functional alternator charge light, reverse lights and wipers. Optional Factory Gauge Sensor Adapter is needed to retain the factory BMW Oil Pressure cluster functionality. The adapter is also machined to support most aftermarket temperature and pressure gauges that require a 1/8″-27 thread pitch. Will require the use of 1-wire OBD1 Oil Pressure Switch for E36 – BECK Part# 2011515. Use an OBD1 Coolant Switch from E36 – BOSCH Part# 02801300 for cluster engine temp functionality. PRO-SERIES HARNESS TECHNICAL SPECS Plug and Play – simple and efficient NO CORE HARNESS or additional wiring required OEM wire colors used, where applicable All sensor signal connection use EM shielded wires Super-High Temp Fireproof fiberglass loom used on knock sensor, O2 sensor & transmission branches located in hot areas.

Please note that adding A/C to an LS2 is not easy and will require custom lines and sensor installation. Wiring Specialties will provide a wiring sub-harness needed for operating the A/C system ONLY OBD2 Communication connector Printable install instructions with pictures Turn Key ENGINE START Guarantee Tech support for our customers 7 days a week FAQ & OTHER DETAILS Startup PCM Flash Tune – GM LS3 PCMs require basic tuning in order to run the LS engine in a different chassis. The VATS alarm or Immobilizer will prevent the engine from starting unless it is disabled. The standard base startup tune is VATS / EVAP / Rear O2 / Fuel Tank Purge removal. Most tunes leave the other parameters stock. No performance settings are changed with this startup tune – fuel map changes are NOT part of this service. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this service. Alternator Charge Cable – This item ties the starter/battery directly to the Alternator output, which allows the improved power routing on our harness to eliminate the wire running from the alternator to the fusebox and/or battery while still charging the battery normally. Grounding Kit – Our Kit ties a number if engine components to the body of the car and ensures that you will not have issues resulting from poor grounds. The Grounding Kit utilizes Ultra High temp fiberglass sleeving to allow installation under or around exhaust components. Very flexible mounting options allow you to connect the block, head, battery tray, alternator case and chassis to completely eliminate all grounding issues. Speedo Signal Conditioning – The Dakota Digital SGI-5 unit for Speed can ‘condition’ the signal to compensate for cross-platform swaps. If the Option exists to ADD the unit on the harness page for your swap, then you need it for proper speedo operation. Please note that some transmissions (350z, BMW ZF and S15 Silvia for example) do not have a speed sensor and will require a non-harness based solution like a GPS speedo. Plug-n-Play vs Universal – Plug-n-Play harnesses connect to your car’s underhood fuse box for power and to connectors under the dash for gauges etc. Universal harnesses do not need an underhood fusebox to connect to and the wiring for gauges and warning lights is provided as a ‘flying lead’ which are bare wires labeled with their function. Right Hand Drive (RHD) Conversions – If you used ALL the stock LHD chassis connectors for your RHD swap, order the LHD version of the harness. If you used ALL the clip/swap RHD chassis connectors, order the RHD version of the harness. If you used a combination of LHD and RHD chassis connectors, please contact us as our harnesses will need modification. Don’t See It? – If you have injectors, throttle body, coilpacks or any other item that you do not see on the Options offerings, please contact us. Chances are we can do it! Battery Cables / Battery Relocation – The battery must be connected to the starter, so you need a battery cable from the positive battery terminal to the starter main power lug. Typically this positive battery cable also powers up the main under hood fusebox, which runs many of the non-engine items on your car like interior lights, dash power and headlights/taillights. Please make sure you have prepared for this as each install is different.
