i am putting an ls2/ls3 in my ls1 car. will the ls2 sensor work with my PCM. if not what do i do?

i am using an ls2 valley cover.

Would that be the smaller Oil Press. Sensor like in the Trucks, and it uses the Connectors like on the TPS?

yes it is smaller. i guess it also has a temp sensor built into it. how do i get this to work?

how do all you guys get the ls1 to ls2 to work

I've never heard of it having a Temp Sensor built into it, unless that is for Oil Temp..

I figure the middle wire would be your signal wire like the single one on the LS1 Harnesses, but I could be wrong.

I hope someone has some insight to this as well, cause I would like to know.

just bolt the stock ls1 oil sender in the ls2 valley cover. it's works fine, just sits a little higher up

May be a little too high. Atleast you can't break the Truck ones as easily..

threads are different. i wish it was that easy. i might just have to tap it and make it work.

There shouldnt be tapping neccessary, but this is an ls3... I was scratching my head until I just swapped the sensor and it fits perfect

the_merv

I thought they were the same Threads too..

I would check it again, maybe you started it crooked or something.

so just buy the ls1 sensor and see if it works? it looks so much bigger. but ok

the_merv

iTrader: (88)

I know the ones from a Truck are small..

It is much bigger, and the raised part of the valley cover only makes it taller. It looks goofy but it works. I called TSP about this when I was dealing with it, they said it is a direct swap

the ls1 f-body sensor threaded right into the ls2 valley cover with no problems. it just sits about an 1 1 1/2 inch higher and looks funky but it clears the cowl panel just fine.

^ ^ ^ if it is that much taller. can i cut it down?

Detroitmuscle

iTrader: (16)

I wouldn't suggest cutting it, your talking about cutting a sensor lol

Big Bird WS6

iTrader: (9)

^ ^ ^ no :LOL: the port on the valley cover

silverLSWON

iTrader: (16)

no do not cut it down, it's actually better that way IMO. you can see the sensor easier when you pull the intake off so you have a less chance of breaking it like some people do. also its easier to change out the sensor if it goes bad.
