when using the 3-bar, you gotta plug the map hole. I don't have a stock map sensor, so leaving that in is not an option. Those of you who plugged it, what did you use?

 

Make a template and cut out a block off plate out of aluminum. Put a nipple on it like the stock map sensor to plug the hole. Probably easier to just find a stock map sensor and just leave it unplugged.

 

I drilled and tapped mine with a 1/8th plug.

made a stainless steel block off plate..
with my 89 civic the map sensor hit my strut bar

 

left the stock map sensor on just in case i were to sell my setup.

thanks for trying. next

so, jsut tap/die it up and then use some hondabond? hrm... seems leaky.

 

just grab a piece of aluminum or some kind of metal and drill some screw holes into it. grab some gasket maker and glue it to the metal plate and then screw it on top of the stock map sensor spot, maybe use some hondabond around the whole for xtra sealing ability.

 

Here u can see it on mine, i bought the plug from home depot.

 

Is that a piece of cork? I can't seem to find anything in the fastener section.. I did see cork there.. and was thinking of using that..

Ah, no.
He didn't cork it.

It is a brass pipe fitting plug.

 

Like TD said, just use a 1/8" pipe plug. Looks like this:



Then you just need a 1/8" NPT tap (Craftsman makes these if you have a Sears nearby). Just tap the hole then screw the plug in with a bit of teflon tape or paste or even hondabond as a sealant.
