MAS MOD Expanded
Any thoughts out there on using the LS1 GM MAF sensor with a
translator?
Secondly, any thoughts with putting said MAF right at the intake
rather
than prior to the turbos as it is stock. By theory, placing the
MAF at
the last available spot rather than the first would prevent
problems
with boost leaking (including atmosphere-venting BOVs) and the "car
died
cause my piping popped off" syndrome. But I don't know the
logistics
(the no-no list) of placing a MAF sensor on the high-pressure
side.

P.S. The car has been put on hold due to health problems. I will
be
having open heart surgery on Tuesday (8/19) to replace a failing
heart
valve, and will be having a valve job, flow porting, and full
polish
done as well. ;) Seriously, though, everybody wish me
luck. I'll get
that car finished eventually.

Nick,
I have the LS6 MAF with the translator right now and I have
mixed
feelings about it. I still don't have it tuned right, it runs
rich,
which is good for preserving your engine, but not so much
for
performance. I have it setup in the draw thru method(stock).
I know a
lot of the DSM guys are doing the blow thru method and have had
some
success. I would suggest going on 3si and looking up the topic,
there
are a few threads on this. There is also a message group setup on
yahoo
for the translator too which has been helpful to me too.

Hello everyone. I have a '91 R/T and this is the first time posting to
the
list mostly because any of the other questions i have had have been
answered
by searching through the archives but I couldn't find an answer to
this one.
I have checked the online manual and it seemed to hint that the IAT
sensor
is built in with the MAS sensor on the air intake but it doesn't say
which
connection pins it would be. If anyone knows which pins it would be or
if
the sensor would be somewhere else I'd appreciate the input.

Re: Team3S: IAT sensor
The intake sensor (pin 6), the air flow volume sensor (pin 3) and
atmosperic
sensor (pin 2) are all located in the box just after the air
filter. It's
the little resistor-like thing you can see in the bottom,
middle of the air
intake once the air filter is removed.
The resistance between pin 6 and pin 5 should be
32 F - 6 K ohms
68 F
- 2.7 K
176 F - 0.4 K
This is from the 1994 manual and I am assuming the '91 was the same.

RE: Team3S: Maybe it just needs oil?
Rich,
I'm sorry to say that, as a person who has been arround
"Heavy Duty"
(Truck) gear components for many years, that the posibility of
that
transmission ever working right again with a simple refill is next to
ZERO.
Once things have been run with a lack of lube many things
happen.
Parts begin to get very hot, mostly the bearings, and they
begin to
breakdown, especially tapered roller bearings, which are under a
preload, so
they can do one of two things. Start breaking up, or seize. Which
causes the
races to "spin on either the shaft, or in the transmission case.
As a
result, they do considerable damage to whatever they "spin" on, or in.
After
they cool down, they then "weld" themselvs to each other, making
themselvs
one nonmoveable mass.
The lack of being able to get into
any of the lower gears, is that some of
the bearings may have already seized
themselvs to the mainshaft, or to each
other.
Again, I'm sorry, but
in my opinion, I think this transmission is JUNK,
just from what I have been
reading.
Best of luck in whatever You do,
David
