87 maf to 92 speed density

I'm converting an 87 maf to a 92 speed density in my 92 TBI camaro.
I know I need a new knock sensor and a MAP sensor but are there any other sensors/parts that I need. I already upgraded the fuel pump and i have 3 TPI units all from 85-88 and don't want to have to buy an SD setup.

Your intake plenum would have to be from 90-92 to have the threaded boss for the map sensor.

I am sorry I see tbi! Sorry again

He wants to go TPI without having to purchase more parts. The map sensor can be remote mount or the plenum can be drilled and threaded for the correct fitting.

Thanks Bigal,
I almost bought a setup from a 91 but then came across a site that showed it mounted by the firewall.

Re: 87 maf to 92 speed density

I know this is kinda old what connection did you use for the Map sensor? Just the one that went to the MAF? So then you just used the ecu from the post 91?

When converting from the 87-89 MAF/x165/2 connector ECM to the 90-92 MAP/x730/3 connector ECM you have to re-pin the connectors at the ECM. You can either re-assign the MAF wires and use them for the MAP, or run new wires.

Here is additional info.
