[font=arial, geneva, helvetica]MAP SENSOR [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Definition: Refers to a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a variable resistor used to monitor the difference in pressure between the intake manifold at outside atmosphere. [/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica] This information is used by the engine computer to monitor engine load (vacuum drops when the engine is under load or at wide open throttle). When the engine is under load, the computer may alter spark timing and the fuel mixture to improve performance and emissions.
[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]3 BAR ... bar is a unit of pressure measurement... to convert bar to PSI multiply by 14.508. 3 bar is 43.5 PSI.

Edit: going along with what juan just posted. 1 bar is esssentially atmosphere (14psi), so a 3 bar will let you run 43.5 - 14 psi or 29.5 PSI of b00st to y0 face

pat interested to see how you do. as you know depending ont he outcome once i get my obd2 scanner, ill probably be getting a f10x from juan.

what is a 3 bar map sensor? im stupid in this regard and ive always wondered but forgot to ask.

There are four types of MAP sensors.

1 Bar, 2 Bar, 3 Bar or 5 Bar MAP sensors.

It depends on what boost you want to run

1 Bar = Normally Aspirated
2 Bar = Up to 14 PSI of boost
3 Bar = Up to 28 Psi of Boost
5 Bar = Up to 56 Psi of Boost

i would def be in the 2 bar range.

I'll have to come out to a meet soon and check out your setup once you get the Haltech configured.

Definitely! But I must warn you that for aestetics, Ahmad's car will own for the looks department. I just have an MP3 with a Turbo system. It will be looking better soon though once the body damage is fixed!

Today was a long day. I started by cutting the MPI Tuner out. I started soldering, and then let Ahmad take over so I could focus on other things under the hood. I took out my extra injector asymbly, and went to install the S5 injectors. I forgot I had left two of them back in Arlington, so my friend Matt took me all the way the 40+ miles to go get them. Thanks! The RX-7 injectors are in place. I had to use an extra spacer to get them mounted. The spacers had to be modified by grinding down the lip on them, and mounted by placing the newly flattened surfaces together. We snapped quite a few pictures today, but they are all on Ahmad's camera. The only things left to do is to mount the air temp correction sensor, the coolant temp sensor, and then the MAP sensor. We finish up tomorrow.
