Been a bit, time for an update… trans is built, upgraded clutches and all. Went with a new hughes converter and a burst shifter to do the dirty work. Hooker Blackheart hemi swap headers were needed and landed the outlets perfectly, new intake mani gaskets, machined some egr gasketed block offs, intake made, rad in and plumbed with upper/lower hose sensors, one for each electric fan, batterybox in, all wiring done and tucked with an obd port in the ashtray, new fuse box in the glove box, and all factory gauges work, even the speedo will work as the cable is identical to the factory. Finished the headliner and rear deck / made a bow where the front and rear seams as well… What’s left?
Bolt the trans
Hookup the shifter
Tranny mount
Driveshaft
Retrofit headlights

Hp tuners tune to get rolling
And exhaust built. Should be kicking before Christmas if all stays on track

Fuck. Yes.

Another slow update, transmount is done, new tank is in, car fires up… then shuts off. Used hp tuners to try and bypass security, wired the factory ignition and everything, no dice. So, buying more credits and unlocking another ecu is the next step cause who doesn’t want to throw money in the garbage. Headlight retrofit is done and new front buckets are in, mounts and console to come. I went with rx8 seats with the red inlay, match the rear seats and brushed trim throughout and I can essentially host a casting couch episode in the backseat with the amount of space after removing the front couch. Hoping for more exciting updates to come

What ECU are you using? P01 or P59?

Couldn’t tell ya off the top of my head, it’s from an 06 charger RT, I’ll have to take a look next time I’m around it

Oh for some reason I read vats in there. You could talk to Sentry from here and they might be able to help solve stuff.

He came down and played over a few beers, kinda confirming a few things / it’s definitely security related… maybe the ecu is garbage / was in the fritz and won’t accept the tune, so I’ll try one more before dumping my sons college money on a standalone

Did you end up trying an un-cut harness on it?

[gretz]

We built another harness with just the needed to run wires, ecu pretty much right on top of the motor, same result. I may have to bite the bullet and just go stand-alone with a swap harness, but want to rule out the ecu as a dud first. The previous hemi owner said it would shut off randomly on him which is why it was parked, so my fingers are crossed for this being the potato… or it’s just us lol
