Many updates. I mounted the Mini reluctor wheel and crank sensor to the cruze engine and now I have a correct reading tach, power steering, and can now use original start and stop switch. The drive axles I sectioned and sleeved are working flawlessly. Just minor powertrain software issues to still figure out such as cruise control and air conditioning.

Would anyone be interested in a list of the parts used in the conversion?

In an effort to save yourself a lot of time answering PM's daily for the rest of your life, you might want to document and post as much as possible.

I was getting PM's on the Crossfire forum regarding past brake and nitrous mods two years after selling the car.

Hey Corykueber - can you give us an update?

I am very curious about this swap / build. I'm in Chanhassen and doing research on this type of swap after seeing a Vanderhall yesterday pulling 180HP and is waiting on a tune to gain another 50HP.
