Hey guys, I got all the wiring information from Hondata's website, but how do you actually mount the 3bar map sensor? My stock MAP is mounted on the throttle body. Any help would be appreciated.

you will have to get the pig tail for the gm map sensor and run the oem map sensor wires to the pig tail and plug the pig tail to the gm map sensor. You can let the oem sensor unplug. I like to use aluminum to make a tamplate mount it close to the throttle body but on the fire wall.

I made my own mounting bracket and mounted it to the firewall using two self tapping screws. I used two L shaped brackets that I bought at hardware store. I found them in the door hinch section. I've also seen people just use two self tapping screws and mount it directly to the firewall using no bracket at all.

Thanks guys. I ordered the pigtail as well. So the GM map sensor doesn't need to be mounted a certain way? Can I leave the stock map sensor in as it will now be defective, or should I take it off?

I left my stock map sensor in place.

Hoosier Daddy

So just splice into the stock harness from the pigtail, and plug the GM map sensor into the pigtail, then unplug the stock map sensor?

sneakypete

Yup, that's it.

Hoosier Daddy

Awesome. Thank you!

sneakypete

No problem. GL

Doesnt the gm map sensor need to be attached via a vacum line? It just doesnt sit with an open nipple.

sounds like you got it, but FYI http://hondata.com/3barinstall.html

someone post some pics of it installed!

yes it needs a vacuum source to that nipple

Phaze2 Mike

So, if you have a throttle body mounted map sensor, where do u source the vacum lead that goes the the GM nipple?

Anywhere coming directly from the intake manifold will work.

all your doing is replacing the stock map with a 3bar map. Easy as that.
Just unhook the stock map, mount the 3bar and hook the vacuum up to it. you already have the splicing down, so your set.

I used zip ties to mount mine It might not be clean, but it does the job...

i mounted mine to the firewall using 2 long sheetmetal screws. works great and is clean as you can get. \it is mounted where the evap plug was.
heres a pic wit red silicone hose.


heres another pic further away with black silcone hose. its right between the fuel filter and the resistor box

Phaze2 Mike

So just use the evap hose lead correct? Thats an easy alternative to threading a nipple into the old slot.

PM-Performance

huh? i dont have the evap stuff anymore and figured id use that room up for my 3bar. i have the vac source i think off the back of my manifold, everything else is off my vac block .

Thats word for word exactly what I did. For the vacuum source, I got a badass little map sensor blockoff plate that had a 90 degree brass fitting on it and just ran that to the 3-bar on the firewall.
