Marinize LS1
Hi, I have a Chevy LS1 motor out of a Commodore Automatic 4WD and want to put it in my ski boat. It has a cable operated throttle body. I have seen a marinized version of the LS1 in a ski boat and it uses a MAF sensor and no oxygen sensors.
Please is someone able to tell me how to set up my motor to work the same. At a pinch I may be able to run the pre catalytic oxygen sensors, but I have read that there may be a problem with steam.

Hi everyone,
I have been researching how to marinize my LS1 and have found out that LS1s can run well in open loop. Correct me if I have got this wrong, as I understand it if the computer does not get an input from the oxygen sensors it will run in open loop.
From what I believe this just means that the motor will run a little rich. I suppose that would still be better than a conventional carby setup.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
