LS6 Intake manifold and cable TB on LS2 with E40 PCM
LS6 Intake manifold and cable TB on LS2 with E40 PCM Is there any way to make this work with the E40 and stay cable TB?
I have asked around to several tuners and everyone says either go DBW from a C5 Vette or get a E38 PCM.
I'm also wondering if the sensors in the LS6 intake manifold are compatible with the E40.
I just bought a E40 and now I'm feeling like I made a mistake... *kicks dirt*

Short answer: no.
E40 is for 24X reluctor, 1X cam, electronic throttle.
E38 is for 58X reluctor, 4X cam, electronic throttle.
If you have a 24X engine, at least you can drop back to an LS1 style PCM and go cable throttle.

OK thanks... now when you say LS1 style is there any specific PN I should look for? (engine is 24x)

Since I have the LS6 manifold and TB it just kinda makes sense at this point to sell the ls2 PCM and retrofit the F body harness/PCM into me set-up. If I was to go back to DBW I need an intake, TB and pedal assembly. To make what I have work it;s simply a matter of a different PCM.... I thought about DBW

Andrew,
If it was mine to do, I would keep the E-40 and get a LS2 intake and TB. You will make more power with the LS2 intake and the bigger TB. Making the LS1 ECM work with the LS2 can be done, but a custom harness needs to be made to adapt the LS1 ECM to the sensors on the LS2. Sensors are in different places, and in a lot of cases, use different plugs. I love the DBW setup on my LS2's. I'll bet that you end up coming out cheaper than converting to a LS1 ECM.
