Default What map sensor please

What map sensor do I use for my OFAB ecu if I wanted to run a stage 2 chip and different injectors? running say 14-15 psi for example, 2.5 or 3.0 bar

Ultimately, only the mapper of the chip will be able to tell you. However, all good chips come with full fitting instructions anyway. have you read them?

OK then what would you recommend as a package? I Have my engine being built at the moment. It is a 2.1 ZT fitted with arias pistons (7.4:1 C/R) on std rods.

I was hoping to run it on 2 bar, but at the moment i am stuck on chip needed, injector spec (using endfeed injectors) and what sort of map sensor I need to match the lot up.

any advice accepted

cheers

Your ONLY acceptable and safe option is a full live map on that spec with OFAB mate.
