LS1 computer controlling an LT1? Has anyone ever done this setup? I'm pretty sure I read someone has before. I know you would need to put a crank trigger on it.
I'm not sure where and what sensor's are on an LT1, but I would think most of the LT1 sensors could be made to work with an LS1 computer or adopt the LS1 sensor's onto the LT1.
I know LT1's run diff tran's. Not sure how that would work.
Keep in mind there would be HPtuners on the car.
anyone ever do it or have any info?

Yes, I think the 96 and 97's do. I'm not sure how they work, but I think it was just there to report DTC's to the computer or something along that line.

Bump. So I have a 98 harness and comp.
I know people have done this. Swap over to coils and used the ls1 wiring and comp for easy tuning. Anyone know any info?

I did my 97 a couple of years ago for a freind that l sold the car too. I converted the lt1 harness using the build yourown harness kit from efi connections. I had to change the firing order at the pcm when I wired in the new ls1 style plug. And i added a ground in the harness for all the sensors. Because the ls1 have an individual ground for each sensor and the lt 1 Does not. U use a 96-97 front cover and the efi conn. Kit comes with the relucter wheel and crank position sensor. It's been a while so if you have some more specific question I can probably help.
