Twin Turbos and MAF Sensor - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm just curious how the other guys on here overcame the MAF sensor in your boosted cars. Is the SS/ZL1 MAF sensor from GM compatible with our V6's? Right now I'm getting a CEL and the code it's throwing says the MAF sensor is detecting too much pressure (no shit...)

I'm not really sure , I thought about getting the jet maf sensor a few times if you can't make it compatable Mabey check that one out

jcharrier · 12-12-2014, 11:36 PM

But as far as I know no one else ran into that issue

On the IPF supercharged systems the MAF is located before the SC. That's where I have it. But I know two who have moved it after the SC and have not had a problem ?

do not get the Jet Maf, it does nothing.. The V8 Maf will not work, something is up with yours. As far as I know if proper tables are in tune you should not be maxing MAF out. Gretchen has over 15lbs boost w/o Maf issues.

Yup, I'm an idiot. Checked the codes again. It's throwing the code for Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor. Any chance the 3 bar ZR1 OEM MAP sensor from GM works in the V6?

ZR1 or ZL1? I doubt it would work properly, only way to find out if they're even the same fitment.

Tube size will dictate power limits of the factory maf. Ls3 maf will do over a 1000hp in the correct tube, this is how mine is setup.

TommyTheCat · 12-13-2014, 02:19 PM

the MAP has the same part number for ZL1/LSA and LFX engines. probably just defective and unrelated

GretchenGotGrowl · 12-13-2014, 05:44 PM

ZR1 MAP sensor doesn't seem to work on the LFX (tried it). You will have to scale the 1 bar MAP in the tune. I've run up to 20 psi and it works fine.

Thanks Gretchen. I'll let my tuner know.

I didn't realize we couldn't add a 2 or 3 bar. Ugh
