Re: How much boost can the stock s2k map sensor read? (EJ8 GSR-T)
The Stock S2000 Map Sensor i believe is 1bar
1bar = 14.5 psi
What kind of Management system are you running
Alot of times those companys make higher Bar Map Sensors
like AEM, Holly etc
Typically ppl use GM 3bar Map Sensors
They are all universal for the most part
3Bar = 43.5 Psi
1bar = 14.5 psi

it will be running the HKS f-con pro...im just a bit worried becuase on my ej8 the stock sensor was said to read one bar but that only translated to about 9.9 psi...and to make any real power with the s i am going to need more than that.

you need to subtract for automosopheric phressure which is 1 bar
so most ppl run the gm 3 bar map sensor. which mean it will read up to 2 bars but in reality they read up to 29psi max
1bar = 14.5 psi

right...I thought since it was a 1 bar MAP sensor, it is able to read the atmospheric pressure which is all around us. By introducing more than that the MAP will throw an error.
That's how it was on the B-series Honda MAP sensors anyways. Hence the use of the 'missing link' bypass valves or the installation of a 2- or 3- bar MAP sensor.
44.1 psi (3 bar) - 14.7 (atmospheric pressure) = ability to read 29.4 PSI of boost.
(in theory)

Most honda sensors are 1.75bar sensors - so they can read to around 10-12psi like Mase said...he would know better then anybody here im sure.
