    second thing the only PCM I have is for the 97 GTP will that work
    It appears you do not have the GT wiring harness... It looks chopped to bits.

    I would say your BEST option is to get a GTP harness, but a 00.5+ GT harness (with the ev1 injector clips) would work in a pinch.

    The 97 wiring and computer stuff you have would be more work than it is worth to install.

    suggest AGAINST putting the boost solenoid control in, and to just run the BBV in manual mode
    Just dont put the solenoid on, leave the bottom port of the valve open to air, and run the top part to the top of the blower.

    I will be using the radiator out of the 97 also so the next thing for me to worry about is the trans cooler lines
    97 trans, 97 cooler lines, 97 radiator = all good.

    I'm putting a 99 GTP 3800 SC into a fiero, and was wondering if you live where you dont have to worry about emissions, what things can I remove to make my engine swap a little easier? I was planning on removing the AC, PS, ABS, BCS and evap stuff, but what else? I already have a guy that's going to reprogram my PCM afterward.
    For a fiero swap you do not have to do much of anything to stay somewhat emissions compliant. Evap does not offer any exhaust emissions benifit, but if you are staying with a simple swap, you can probably leave the EGR functional.

    So I'm parting out the rest of the car if anyone is interested. It's a 99 GTP in excellent condition. Send me a message if you want something off of it

    Power...please go start your own for sale thread with all the necessary info. You will do much better with selling it there.

    Ok. The 01 makes no difference. You'll want a pcm for the year of the car you are putting it into with an L67 bin file, with the info Scott (DH) and I were talking about at the top of the thread filled in.

    On the boost control, I say run it, he says don't. Either of the two ways will work well.

    Looks like you'll want to pull the ac compressor and some of the hoses out of your old one as well. I'd put in new seals ($5) and lay the compressor on the subframe in the front. Same with the power steering. (except put it by by the rear pass side.

    When you lower the new drivetrain in.. keep an eye on both of them and if you can..hook them to the motor as you are almost all the way in. Usually I find it's easier that way.

    The 97 pcm has different wiring/pinouts than the 01/02 that you are dropping into. Stick to the newer wiring and you'll be fine.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
