Hi there!

I would like to place the map sensor on my 3dr somewhere else, as I want it to be accessible/replaceable more easily!

I guess many of you have done that already, so:

Any recommendations where to put it best?
Or does anyone have pics of his solution he could share? - that would be great!


Thanks alot in advance!

 

surprisingly, not many people do relocate the MAP sensor. those that do sometimes put it on a strut brace if fitted.

wherever you put it, make sure it is mounted the same way around as standard (i.e. with nipple pointing down) otherwise you will have problems with condensed water or oil giving a false reading

 

Thanks for the advice!
That's a good point - I always thought the mounting direction doesn't
matter, but I didn't think about condensed water...



Thanks again, if I have a proper solution I will post pics...

 

Was thinking the shame thing as im having the Engine Bay painted
Have heard about them being pt on the strut brace but not sure any where else

 

mines on the strut brace

 

Well wheres the pics then Buffy

 

the critikal is length of tube from innlet too the Map . on race esc cosw they had 2 mouted in isulated box . du too interferans from ignition wire not supressed ...

 

Not great pic but the map sensor is on the right hand side of the strut brace, underneath of course, next to the spare 3 bar map sensor also mounted to the strut brace

 

2 Thats just greedy

 

Hey - Thanks for the pic!

That's a very good idea, unfortunately I don't have a strut brace because I never wanted to drill holes in the strut towers...

Maybe I should

 

Got mines on the strut brace too. Sorry, not got a pic at the mo, i need to paint the bracket...

 

Hi,

On strut, 2 MAP "check to check" ready to spare if necessary.
As "bige" says, lengh of tube is 280 mm. maxi, with original I.D., to avoid bad response from MAP to the ECU.

Do they fail that often then?

 

Fail often : no.
But, If you have trouble shooting, you can easely eliminate MAP factor.

and when they are under the header tank they always get wet

got point about the pipe length...cos i often thought about putting it inside the car under the dash....nice and dry under there.
