Does anybody manufacture these? I'm in need of one for my upcoming 3-Bar map sensor install.
Thanks.

I was going to leave my stock map as a block off.

 

you can do that or we make some slick ones.

 

After a little research I located a Block off plate made by Comptech that they use for their CL Supercharger kits. So the question now is: Do CL's happen to have the same style/size Map sensor as Integra's? If so, then it will work I believe.
Thanks.

ok, any info? Pics? Price?
Thanks

I use this one from BBK. I'm sure it can be easily made.

 

Thats identical to the Edelbrock ones. Id jstu make one. A trip to Lowes and a little work and you have everything.

 

I don't have any pics, but we make ours out of plastic. It's not worth the effort for us to sell them, but you can easily make your own with some honda bond, a sheet of thick plastic, and some screws.

 

Just curious....where do you run the 3-bar map line to? I thought you ran it to the stock location by say drilling and tapping a vac. fitting into the blockoff plate....if I am wrong please let me know. I am about to do my install and just want to be sure. TIA

He wants one with a nipple on it.

i just drilled mine and tapped it, plugged it with a 1/8 plug.

You want to run a vacuum line from the MAP sensor to the intake manifold, NOT the original location on the TB. Because the sensor needs to see boost.

Edit: perhaps it's different for turbo applications...

Where can you get that BBK plate? I looked around and couldnt find one.

Ill leave my sensor ziptied thank you, I just want something to replace Sakai's map sensor that is acting as a blockoff, and I dont want to pay $40 for Inline Pro's fancy schmancy plate.

Theres your answer BTW, Inline Pro offers blockoff plates with a vacuum source, they are $40 if I remember right.

 

Mine came with a BBK throttle body. But I did make one out of a piece of aluminum. Just drill two holes with the correct mounting spacing. Leave the MAP sensor O-ring at the original location and screw down the plate against the O-ring.

 

Obviously this isn't the best finished piece, but I made this out of aluminum in about 10 minutes with a Dremel.

 

inlinepro has these, i was gonna do something like that so that could run a vaccuum line to the 3-bar MAP

 

I don't understand, but why is there a need for a check valve on the vaccum line? shouldn't it be without the check valve if we are linking it to the map sensor?

 

that just if you are using an FMU and bypassing the MAP, i was more or less concerned with the plate thats on it

 

hmm.. my fmu sees boost too, and increases at 1:1 ratio..

 

you don't understand obviously

EDIT: sorry to sound rude, but you just aren't getting the picture

probably not, thats why I ask. Maybe you can enlighten me then.

 

it acts like a "missing link"

 

I see where my confusion stems from... I thought we were talking about installing 3 bar map sensor, and obviously, you were trying to talking about using a stock map sensor. Now, I understand the part about using a check valve before the stock map sensor so that it don't see boost, and have a fmu to increase your fuel pressure. What I don't understand is JT's comments when he said that we should not use the source from the TB, but instead tap it from the intake manifold. That, I do not understand.
