3 Bar MAP Sensor
Any benefit to running a 3 bar map with FI rather than the stock map?

Depends on how much boost you plan on running, the stock sensor is fine for most, but only reads up to 12 or 13psi, anything above, its recommended you swap out for a 3bar

Someone please pipe in If I'm wrong, but I believe the 3 bar map allows you to swap over to a speed density tune...
We are doing this to my car... It has what I'm calling ... gas coughs... or an intermittent hesitation cruising down the road, part throttle, and start up a gradual climb... I usually downshift and get into a higher RPM range to help... I described it to my tuner/builder, he took it for a drive and came back and said we were going to use a three bar map and a speed density tune... If I understood him correctly, he said it gave him a lot more area to play with so the injectors would know what to do from idle, to WOT, and everything in between... Sounded illegal or something... Again... A lot of this is still foreign to me... Last time I worked on cars at anything above a oil changing level was when you tuned a car with a screw driver and a stick, and read spark plugs and tail pipes...The only dyno we had was the butt dyno...

Yeah Robert at your power level with those turbos 3bar Sd tune is about the only way to go. SD tune takes ALOT of time datalogging.. smoothing out fuel etc..
Pyroboy has it right the stock Map sensor can only read so high so you need to swap after that to get exact measurement of kpa Etc.. Last edited by JLE58; 06-27-2012 at 08:19 AM. |
