Hey guys new to the group and doing a northstar swap on my fiero chassis that's in my Lamborghini countach kit car. I have the 2.5 harness and the northstar harness and ecu for the northstar. The engine and trans is from a 2004 deville and looking for someone who can do the harness and ecu programming. Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

Love the N*. I hope someone has cracked the ECM needed to run that iteration of it. I believe it hasan oddball reluctor that makes it difficult. My son and I did a 2002 N* swap a while back and there was absolutely no tuning for it so we 2ent with MegaSquirt.

There's not a lot (close to nothing) for the '00-'05 engines in terms of ECM tuning.

Well I've found that there is no peramiters programming available for the northstar 2004 so out comes the 4.6 and installing a ls4 with the 4t60ehd trans from an 06 impala. Who does the harness for them?

You might try Gary Pickhardt or Joe Welsh (olejoedad).

The 2006+ engines should be tunable.

It sounds easier to install a standard missing-tooth reluctor and go from there, versus scrapping an entire engine swap job, but that's just me...

I believe the intention was to do the swap with an auto trans. You could probably get that engine to run with a stand alone ECM but it does jack up the cost. There is probably a lot more info to feed on with the LS4/4T65eHD swap , his secondary choice.------------------

He might even be able to get the original PCM to run the powertrain out of the donor car and in his swap chassis, but there's still no tuning available.
I don't think OP is interested in discussion.
