Simple MAP sensor question

Post by EFFalcon »

i may have missing this info somewhere and i just wanted some clarification.
in regards to the tuning software, i assume the @ idle the MAP sensor value should be around 0kpa?
@ WOT it goes to 100kpa (roughly) and finally on boost in access of 100kpa (1bar = 200kpa?)

Sort of...

0 Kpa is a perfect vacuum, so unlikely to be obtained in a manifold ;-)

Mine never goes below about 50 Kpa at idle/small throttle

WOT is around 100 Kpa ie close to atmospheric

On boost then in excess of 100 Kpa, but your last bracket is not correct - 1 bar is equivalent to 100 Kpa

ok cool.

yeah, i just wanted to get my head around the direction of the map sensor calibration, mine jumps all over place even at idle :P

so essentially, i'd be lookin at tuning between 40kpa and 100kpa to start with, and then when running 7 psi, i'd goto 150kpa? (+/-)

Yep....

...that should do nicely, as long as the MAP sensor can cope with such a range of pressures
