LSA Crate Engine Control System #19354336
I-Sheet #19260665
Thank you for choosing Chevrolet Performance as your high
performance source. Chevrolet Performance is committed to providing
proven, innovative performance technology that is truly.... more than just
power. Chevrolet Performance parts are engineered, developed and
tested to exceed your expectations for fit and function. Please refer to
our catalog for the Chevrolet Performance Authorized Center nearest
you or visit our website at www.chevroletperformance.com.
This control system is a stand alone, fully-integrated kit designed to
run Chevrolet Performance LSA series crate engines. Included in
the kit are the engine control module (flashed with the appropriate
calibration), engine harness, accelerator pedal, mass air flow (MAF)
sensor, MAF sensor mounting boss, oxygen sensors (2), and oxygen
sensor mounting bosses (2). This control system requires a fuel system
that is capable of and controlled to 60 psi at idle and must be capable
of flowing 65 gph (gallons per hour) at 65 psi at max power conditions
and should be regulated to ensure proper engine operation. Vehicle
performance/driveability and engine durability may be affected if the
correct pressure or flow are not maintained.
IMPORTANT: Read the 'System DOs and DON'Ts' section below before
attempting to install the engine and then review again before attempting
start the vehicle. Note that if the engine will not come off idle after the
control system installation, check for an illuminated MIL (malfunction
indicator light, which is located in the fuse/relay center, sometimes
called the "Check Engine Light" or "Service Engine Soon" light) which
indicates stored fault codes. Check for codes and make any required
repairs if the MIL is illuminated (typically it is a connector issue or a
wiring issue), consult a service manual if necessary (2006-2011 Cadillac
CTS, 2006 – 2010 Corvette or 2010-2011 Camaro or the Chevrolet
Performance section in the Tech II).
Observe all safety precautions and warnings in the service manuals
when installing this package in any vehicle. Wear eye protection and
appropriate protective clothing. Support the vehicle securely with jack
stands when working under or around it. Use only the proper tools.
Exercise extreme caution when working with flammable, corrosive,
and hazardous liquids and materials. Some procedures require special
equipment and skills. If you do not have the appropriate training,
expertise, and tools to perform any part of this conversion safely, this
work should be done by a professional.
System DOs and DON'Ts:
Do:
•
Ensure all intended engine/vehicle side connections are made
before connecting ignition or battery power to the system.
•
Ensure the wiring harness is secured as required, and that the
routing avoids locations which can potentially damage the wiring
(e.g.: sharp edges, pinch points, rotating components, exhaust
components, etc.). Make sure any unused connectors or wiring
are properly secured and protected (sealed or taped as required to
avoid short circuiting).
•
Ensure all engine and wiring harness grounds are clean and
secure. Minimum ¾ inch braided strap from the engine to the
vehicle chassis is recommended.

WHITE 16 POUND BOND PAPER. PRINT ON BOTH SIDES, EXCLUDING TEMPLATES.
TO BE UNITIZED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GM SPECIFICATIONS.
•
Ensure the MAF sensor is oriented correctly in the induction (it
will only read correctly in the proper direction). An arrow is located
on the sensor indicating correct flow direction. Verify this before
welding the mounting boss, as the sensor will mount only one way
in the boss.
•
Ensure the MAF Sensor is mounted in the middle of a minimum 6
inch length of 4 inch diameter tube, and is a minimum of 10 inches
from the throttle body.
•
Ensure the fuel system is capable of and controlled to 60 psi
at idle and must be capable of flowing 65 gph at 65 psi at max
power conditions and should be regulated to ensure proper engine
operation. It is critical that constant 65 gph of fuel at 65 psi be
available during high pressure operating ranges or performance
and/or engine durability will be adversely affected.
•
Ensure battery voltage is connected using a minimum 8 gauge wire
to the horizontal stud on the fuse block. See Connections section
for details.
•
Ensure that the accelerator pedal clearances meet the guidelines
below.
•
Ensure that the provided oil pressure sensor is installed and torque
to 35 nm (26 lb-ft)
Don't:
•
Change or alter any wiring in the accelerator pedal or electronic
throttle systems.
•
Solder or alter any Oxygen Sensor wiring.
Vehicle Requirements
Vehicle Speed Input - optional
The ECM is programmed and looking for 40 pulses per revolution
typical for automatic transmissions. The LSA Control System harness
is designed to plug into the output speed sensor of 4L60 & 4L80
Transmissions, which have a 40 pulse output.
NOTE: If you are using the GMPP Supermatic Connect & Cruise
Transmission Control System, the vehicle speed input must be
plugged in.
Axle Ratio and Tire Size Requirements
The axle drive ratio in the calibration is set to 3.42:1 and is ok for ratio
from 3.08 to 4.11. Tire diameter needs to be between 26" and 30".
NOTE: For optimal performance choose an axle ratio and a tire size
with-in the recommended range.
NOTE: All Engines are shipped with an automatic transmission flex
plate. For manual applications, the clutch and flywheel used must be
purchased separately and is up to the end user.
