So its agreed that the map sensor location and mounting(non-exsistant) on the fast manifold is crap. how did you fix yours? im about to take my manifold back off but i want to fix this problem once and for all. is it just suppose to seal and stay put with magic? WHAT GIVES? for those that havent seen it it's just a small size hole which is kind of close to the size of the gasket for the sensor and thats it, it kinda just floats there and you hope it seals.

 

Drill/tap that hole for a 90 degree 1/4" hose barb. That's what I'm going to do if I have any issues.

 

I painted my FAST so it's got multiple layers of paint on it so that made the fitment of the map alot tighter...no issues here.

 

i made a C clamp out of aluminum sheet metal. about 1" wide with a hole in the bottom side of it. just use a longer bolt in the center bolt and slide the C clamp on and put a nut on the bottom of it. the top holds the map sensor in the intake. pretty much idiot/fail/blow proof.

 

pics? i think iget the idea, PITA on f bodies for trial and error especially with coil pack relo kit EVERYTHING IS COMING OFF.

 

RTV it in there. it's painless. i used black and have no vacuum leaks or anything of the sort

 

same here

 

i did that on my ls6 2 yrs ago and ive never had one issue. the clip on my ls6 was broken.

 

What about using the little bracket included with this kit from LPE:

I know, I know, its too expensive for just the 1 bracket, since we wont be using the rest of the kit on our LS1's, but I'd be curious to know if this bracket fits right, and if LPE would sell just the one part to us LS1 owners???

 

If you go to the dealership, you can buy the little rubber piece that slips over the MAP sensor, it's like $5. With a new one of these, it fits much better.

I tried RTVing mine, but it just got knocked loose.

 

im gonna get a new gasket for sure, a couple of guys i know are talking about a remote mounting solution....im gonna look into it.

 

I wrapped some teflon tape around mine and plugged it in.
It's pretty secure, I hope.

 

just tape it down with electrical tape, you wont see it anyway

 

Do you have the part number for this? I tried going to the dealership, and they told me I couldnt buy the rubber peice seperate from the MAP.

 

The number I got for the Vette (assume f-body is the same) is 16194007

I also just put up photo's of the way I did it on CF, here's the link:

Yup thats the good part number

 

that's some bs. I had my g/f go into our local dealership to order mine (I'm deployed) and they had no problems getting it on order. I just told her to tell them its the seal/gasket for the Map sensor. $4 plus some change.
