Hi, new to this forum, Elmer from LS2.com sent me here. I have an LS1 with an LS2 intake, electronic throttle and controlled by an E40 ECM. It is turbonormalised, in an aircraft, no boost but for altitude performance and cabin pressure. My problem is with the MAP sensor, or what it tells the ECU. The VE table goes to 105 Kpa, which is slightly over sea level pressure, but the MAP sensor shows as high as 334 Kpa, which is about 48 psi. Now, I may have some residual boost from turbo over run or something, and I have taken the wastegate springs out, but a stock LS1 will blow the head gaskets at 20 psi. It does not have boost, this I am sure of. The MAP sensor is a new, stock GM one that was on this crate engine from new. I checked and there is 5VDC at the sensor. When the MAP shows over 105, it goes off the VE table and the motor runs badly, as soon as it drops below 105 all is good again. I thought the MAP sensor was dead, but I have seen logs from other guys that shows the same impossible high readings on non boosted engines. Anyone know what is going on here?
