What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Domino81]

Soooo... Ramen diet for the next 4 months?

 

[8.5MS3]

Gonna have a miata driver take the 2nd bedroom. God willing I won't catch the geyz

 

[oaklandopen]

For the last time....miata drivers aren't gays, they are elementary school teachers in a midlife crisis

 

[8.5MS3]

Does the fact that he's a phys ed teacher make this officially awkward........

 

[oaklandopen]

Yes....yes it does

 

[Domino81]

Vasken? I give it 2 weeks before he has amassed 113 paintings of you posed as a Greek god of cawk crammed in the closet.

...Clock starts now.

 

[oaklandopen]

Those who can't do teach.... those who can't teach, teach phys ed

already told him, any female that enters my domain....shotgun anus

and i will continue to walk around naked as i see fit

 

[Domino81]

lol! Does that include all visitors, as well?

 

[8.5MS3]

ordered JBR 3.5" intake and 3 bar MAP sensor

 

[chimmike]

ye shall exceed the 3bar map long before the 3.5" intake.

<---ordered CNT cat-back

 

[8.5MS3]

I won't be pushing more than 22psi or so, unless the motor gets built. Then ill need a 4 bar

 

[Domino81]

I wonder how they calculate/calibrate those MAP sensors because 22 psi equals 2.0 bar or something like that. Fact, 2.5 is 36 psi.

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Ordered JBR chrome-molly RMM, OCC stage 2, egr delete, and gig/coolant bypass kit

Boost is referred to in gauge pressure, that is to say pressure above the local atmospheric pressure. MAP, manifold ABSOLUTE pressure sensors measure pressure as compared to a vacuum. A 3 bar MAP sensor reads 3 bar above a vacuum, subtract the 14.7psi of atmospheric sensor, and it is capable of reading 28psi of boost. However, you don't generally want to run near the limit of the a boost sensor, you want a little margin, so 22psi of boost is a good threshold to switch to a 4 bar sensor.

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Going to slowly part out and sell the car as back to stock. Part out thread to come.

 

[Rotus]

Put a new topper on the car. Thought it looked a bit gaudy, so I took it off and put it in the living room.

you mean 3 bar....

2 bar = 14psi
3 bar = 28psi
3.5 bar = 35psi
4 bar = 42psi

typically you want a sensor with a higher peak output for 2 reasons

1. inaccuracy at the limits
2. no way to tell if spiking

 

[oaklandopen]

My car has 69'd one thousand times....such a *****

 

[8.5MS3]

o yea i rolled 50k as well
