MRS Electronic makes LS Swapping the 86 Easier!

The engineers at MRS Electronic Inc have developed a CAN integration module to allow LSX V8s talk to the FRS or BRZ factory computer, which allows theses OEM items to function: Tachometer, Coolant Temperature, electric assist Power Steering, Fuel Economy gauge and Check Engine (MIL) notification. You need this module if you want to build a LS V8 powered FRS/BRZ and have *any* sort of normal functionality.

They developed this “black box” using our former Alpha build LS1 FR-S, shown below.

This CAN module currently works for these GM engine control modules: E38, E67 and E40. The more people that pre-order these CAN modules, the more functionality MRS will add, such as:

  • 10 Pre-Orders: Push Button Starting
  • 20 Pre-Orders: Cruise Control
  • 25 Pre-Orders: AC Requests
  • 35 Pre-Orders: ABS/VDC

Just to get their pre-order numbers up, Vorshlag ordered one for an FRS with the E38 (LS3) computer. Pre-orders are only $200, with production prices expected to be $400-600/each – which is still a bargain! Click this link to get in on this pre-order and help out the V8 powered 86 community.

With the help of MRS-Electronic for the CAN integration and Vorshlag for the drivetrain mounts and headers, making your V8 powered 86 dream come true just got a lot easier…
