Default changing map sensor: tuning needed?

if i were to switch my 1bar map sensor with a 3bar, would i have to get tuned again after changing them or will it stay the same? thank you.

when i had my 3 bar installed i had to get it tuned, but i have hondata. To my knowledge the three bar changes voltage reading from the map from 2.65 to 1.6 or so volts. What is your setup.....???

I am unsure to why you need to have it retuned again. Are you meaning that you have to just change to 3 bar (i know you have to do that), or are you having to retune fuel maps?

i would retune.....any changes you should re-tune because a cars "tune" changes day to day...depending on conditions, Its better safe than sorry....

all you have to do is tell it you have a 3 bar and burn a new chip. The fuel maps will still be the same... with different boost scalars of course.

Right. You can't just plug it in.

You need to rescale the maps in the ECU. You don't need to actually retune.
