HELP Problems with LS swap

He has all Sport Comp II gauges in a Gran Prx dash that is completely customized other than the dash itself. I made the insert and wired all of it - can you say time consuming.

My gauge set is Phantom.
Did you route the engine harness though an existing hole in the firewall?

No- it won’t fit. I’m using a block made for a Terminator X MAx - it works OK but doesn’t seal the harness tight (rain.)

What are you trying to accomplish? A signal to turn fans on and off will come from the Terminator. Sounds like you go some qualified help but ask your friend is any Porsche has the fan running all the time.

How are you going to control the 6L80E?

I believe to make the fans turn on at a set temperature and the fan harness connects to the terminator. Does the terminator come with a pre-programmed thermometer that we both missed?
I’ve since talked to him and the wiring harness I have is universal and designed for an older engine apparently.

The terminator I bought came with DBW and a transmission control

Sounds like your friend has never touched a Terminator before. If youre going to have him "help" he needs to do some more research. There is no "thermometer" in the Terminator. It uses the factory GM temp sending unit in the drivers side cylinder head to get the engine temperature. Once it has that reading, it uses to turn the switched fan output on and off, display the engine temp on the handheld, and also to control fueling to the engine by adding or pulling fuel according to engine temperature.
I would recommend he downloads the software which is free and starts becoming VERY familiar with it, or you find someone else to help you.

Thanks for the advice
That'd be right. He went to an auto tech school for college so he knows what he's doing in principle, but yes this is his first time working with a Terminator. I have a cold case LS swap radiator, holley electronic fuel pump and obviously the terminator, Holley forgot to give me the DBW harness so they sent me another one. Our plan is to finish the terminator connections, radiator, then fuel pump, then pull out the wiring behind the dashboard. Whoever owned the car before me did a mess with the wiring and he thought it'd be better just to start fresh. I'll let him know; hopefully the program is helpful to him.
 
The Terminator will have a 2 wire connector labels CTS. Connect it to a https://parts.gmparts.com/product/g...5kgw4i7ySqa4gyldAKL93genCapxylvUB0LcNyQW6KJRb

Then you set the ON and OFF temperatures. Use a 190 thermostat and run the OFF temp higher than thermostat temp.

I bought this last week. So CTS goes into this, and this plugs into driver's side cylinder head like Streetbu said?
Is the thermostat another module I need to buy or can I set it up through the terminator wizard?
