I have no idea what your trying to ask. Do you mean trade a 3.5 for a 5?

That's what I'm trying to say. I wanted to see if anyone wants to trade my 3.5 bar map for their 5 bar map. It never been used.

I had 5 bar map on my previous setup. I bought 3.5 bar first then I end up buying 5 bar map so I can boost over 35psi.

Where can I find the harness for it?

Unless I am miscalculating..

14.7 x 2.0= 29.4psi (2 bar)
14.7 x 3.5= 51.4psi (3.5 bar)

as far as I know 2 bar is 29psi not 3 bar.



^^^ boost guage max boost is 2.0 bar, by your calculations thats only 14psi. I am almost positive that you think 3bar=29psi because 3 bar map sensors wont read past 29psi. as far as I know Map sensors are rated with atmospheric pressure also in mind. basically you dont count the first bar. so a 3 bar sensor (44.1psi) will only read 2 bar of boost (29.4psi) while a 3.5bar sensor (51.4psi) will only read 36.7psi of boost.

I was correct according to this..
http://www.soilmoisture.com/formulas.html
2 bar is 29.4psi
3 bar is 44.1psi
5 bar is 73.5psi
so as far as MAP sensors go if you dont include atmospheric pressures. a 3 bar map sensor will read up to 29.4psi and and 3.5 bar will read up to 36.7psi and a 5 bar will read up to 58.8psi

i wouldn't say you are overly right, he said the 3.5bar would only allow him to read 35psi or so, which is true, it reads 51psi, but 14.7 of that is used during vacuum. so inorder to boost higher than 35 he needs a 5bar map sensor, so he can boost up to 45psi

not only that but this is the wrong forum to be posting a WTT post. This should be in hondamarketplace.com.
