im hooking up this gm 3 bar map this weekend for hondata.

i understand how to splice the wires and what not. but where does the sensor go.

do you just like mount it anywhere and run a vac line off the manifold to it. or what.

thanks

I just installed mine like 5 minutes ago. I just got some double sided tape and mounted it on the firewall -"I mounted it behind the right side of the intake manifold" I am either going to run the 3 Bar Map off my intake manifold or my GE Vac. Manifold. Most likely I am going to connect it directly to my intake manifod. Might work better off the intake manifold, who knows? But it won't hurt.

 

thanks for hte info.

we mounted my friends to his firewall right behind the intake manifold with a couple screws...i would suggest running a vacume line (as short as possible) directly from the intake manifold to the map sensor...that way theres no chance of other lines distrurbing the pressure/vacume...and dont forget to zip tie both ends

 

ok what line did you use.

i got a sohc , so i got 2 vac lines off the intake manifold. this is how i have it now

one going to bov and boost gauge. other one is going to the FPR.

should i "T" the 1st one off again and have the bov, boost gauge and fpr on one . and then the map on it's own.

how are you guys running it.

thanks

i believe you can use any vacum source that is dirctly coneceted to your intake manifold, i dont know if this image will help or not since it is a aftermarket Intake manifold

hmm...yeah that kinda sucks...for me, i like having a deticated line for my map, and for my FPR..in your case since theres only two ports i guess you will have to tap into something...you could take off the intake and tap another fitting in but thats alot of work (and probably not necessary, i just like to be extra safe)

what i would do is have the map sensor its own line with nothing else...then, stick a short line on the other fitting and then put a "T" in a line for the FPR..then add like 4-5"(or whatever length you need to reach) more of line, then tap in the bov, then another short piece to the boost guage...this way the FPR gets the "first dibs" on the pressure/vacume coming out of the manifold..so even if one of the lines further down blows off or something, it should still get a decent reading.

i dont have any data backing up this way as a good one, but if it was my car this is what ide do.

 

here's mine.. i just got a piece of plastic drilled holes and mounted it on a existing screw..

 

thanks for the pic.

why is it so important to have the map on it's own line.
