Hey guys,
It seems that I am having trouble with my GM 3 bar sensor in my 2002 C5. Would this 2.5bar sensor work with the PCM I have in the car now?

I'm sure the sensor does.. My assembly is the concern, lol. We shall see

Gotcha. You just don't want to get the chip super hot when soldering. Tin the leads and wire then make a quick attachment.

Mine has a hole in the top to the sensor just FYI. Then again it looks like a different sensor than you have.

Hopefully I'm ok. I put most of the heat to the contacts on the old map body side so shouldn't be too bad

Yeah I got a little bit different one than was originally in here. We'll see, I meant to leave the top of the sensor uncovered but jb weld had other ideas about that

You may get a small leak under boost since you removed material from the top of the hold down ears.

Nick, yours has a hole because DPE uses a different body of the same core (it has an open air reference which isn't necessary).

Good to know--if I have to I'll build that area back up back to original'ish dimensions or find another way to counteract that issue

Started my SD tune last night, figured I got the sensor, might as well use it. Almost maxing it out, not sure what the max is. Hit 246kpa on last dyno run which has to be close to the 2.5 bar limits.

Max should be about 250

It works! First try reading was about 2kpa off from the original. Adjusted offset and it was dead on after that. AFR is right where it was prior

I see what you mean now and am making the hold down area thicker. Should be simple enough to make it a little tighter fit..

I'm just glad the thing worked

I wouldn't just fudge the offset until it's right. You should actually look at the data sheet and determine the linear and offset values according to the sensor's calibration.

Stop playing on the internet and make my sensor.

Happy Thanksgiving.....

I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the numbers DPE use would work. I was assuming they use the same sensor, but perhaps not.

After looking at the graph in the sensor data sheet I'm starting to think that's not quite right. I'll play with it more in a bit

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

And after some more playing I ended up with these settings:

Linear: 244.68
Offset: 13.50

With these I'm within 1kPa from the stock sensor at idle and with the engine off.. so I think that's as close as I'm going to get

I had to drill a 41/64" hole which is very close to the diameter of the OEM sensor body to accept the new 2.5 bar sensor.

Very NICE work! Good idea too.
