hey all i know a while back dustin had a pic of his 3bar GM map sensor plugged up on his car... god knows what the url was...iv seached his http://rely.net/~dustin/ site.


but im just wondering where the hell does a GM 3bar map sensor go, and which sensor does it replace.. iv looked on the hondata website that shows / talks about how to wire it up correctly... but i think the install notes forgets 1 think.. where the hell is the stock map sensor that the 3bar gm sensor replaces... iv searched my engine bay for a connector that looks like the GM connection with no luck..
also that little intake pipe on the GM 3bar Map sensor, im assuming thats where a vacuum line goes yeah ? but from where...b/w my car is a b16a2 crx (del sol) if that makes a difference.

um, the GM 3 bar map sensor replaces (drum roll please) the stock map sensor . It does not plug in or mount like the stocker. It needs to be run to a vaccum/boost source.

 

Here ya go mate....

but WHERE is the stock sensor located.. (that info is not on the hondata site)
no drum roll needed !! eheh


i know what i need 2 do...to it once i located it..

Regards James

 

oh ****, that's easy.

On 91 and older motors/cars, it's located on the fire wall.

On 92+, it's located on top of the throttle body. Black sensor, three wire plug going on it.

 

YAY.. but hummm
the plug to the stock sensor is nuffing like the plug on the GM sensor.. i guess ill have to do something.. to make it fit..../ work...

Regards James

 

Wire tie the sensor to the fire wall. Then have a vaccum line from the sensor to a port where the stock sensor used to be. Or just make a plate where the stock sensor used to be and t-off one of your lines on the manifold. Did that answer your question? Email me if it didnt...

Are you sure you should be installing this? I've said it already, it does NOT plug in to the stock harness. You have to cut the stock plug off, and wire it into the pig tail harness that you need to purchase . I won't walk you through this any further, you need spoon feeding

 

heheh thanks for ya help guys !! it cleaned up my mind.. in what has to be done .. to make it work !! no spoon feeding needed....

out here in aust.. turboing a honda is never hurd of.. gota make sure we do eveything 100% right..

 

ahhhhh, that explains it. Didn't realize you were out of this country. My apologies for being so arrogant.

 

thats ok apologies accecpted... next time i have a problem ill PM you eeheh directly

jk
its hard being like one of the 1st b engine turbo honda's out here... esp doing it US style... but im loving all the experence.

You can find those pigtail connectors at any Pepboys or Kragen. There is always a section that includes gm connectors. Try next to the trailer-hitch and tail-light converters.

 

James hows your max rev kit going? im still waiting on mine..hopefully next week. are u boosting yet? what are u doing for fmu? hondata?

 

Actually the pigtail connector is no-longer stocked at Pep Boys in Arizona(don't know about other states). It's a special order item now that takes 7 days. Guess how I know this? I just called GM and gave them the part number for the 3 Bar, they gave me the part number for the pigtail and I ordered both. The part was a little more expensive, but I was able to buy it that day and not have to wait for Pep Boys. To bad I couldn't use it that day. Oh well, just thought I'd share!

 

pigtail connector ... now im lost ehhehe ill just use the soldering iron.. and solder the wires directly i think....somehow ! ill figure it out when i do it.

As revmax kix.. im still not boosting yet..
ben from inport parts is about to send the 2nd half of my turbo kit.. also
the wastegate came with a .65bar spring. and now i also have to get a smaller spring bc ill boost with stock internals 1st.. before i build my engine and then i hope boost to 18psi ! with my sleeved block / pistons / rods

Regards James


and yeah im using hondata with 550cc injectors and a new fuelpump intake and aem Fuelpump regulator.

ill update ya guys sooon on how the maxrev kit goes....
