currently my engine is standard, but i need a new MAP sensor

my question is: On a standard engine, can i upgrade to a 3 MAP bar sensor? will it run OK? - i'm pretty sure it will but i just want to check

i plan on going to stage 3 eventually so thats why i want to replace the standard map sensor with a 3 map bar sensor

cheers

 

Hi,

You can't fit a 3 bars MAP instead 2 bars MAP.

With each EPROM, you have an inseparable trio :
EPROM / MAP / Injectors.
You can't change only one element.

you cant becuse the voltage/pressure ratio is different..

ie,5v on a 2bar may be 14.5psi

5v on a 3bar would be 29psi....

the max voltage the sensor gives is the same between the two sensor types

 

As said, MAP values are co ordinated with chip settings so can't swap like this.
They have different pressure ranges, the 2 BAR has 17/216KPA, the 3 BAR has 17/308KPA, both have the same operating temp of -30C to +110C, response time is less than 7MS.
The 02/03(2 BAR) has an over pressure of 200%, whereas the 05/01 (3 BAR), has overpressure of 450KPA

Thats the most eloquently put Ive ever seen the answer to that question.

Puts my english to shame

PERFECT answer IMHO.

 

Thanks.

 

not true though...std cossie....change eprom only=stage 1

no need to swap map sensor or injectors

 

bugger! - i've already ordered a 3 map bar sensor.

Anyone got a standard item laying around?

 

Why not throw a set of greens and a new chip while you're there then?

 

I think i have a standard one laying around somewhere m8,

Steve

 

I have a good std one in my toy box!!

tis true - he is saying that for every chip you must have the correct MAP sensor and injectors

 

no he said you cant change one of the trio......
