MAP/MDP solution 6bolt in a 2G

[NHerron]

Well this was brought to my attention when I was looking to replace my MDP sensor. I was checking out eBay for prices and stumbled upon someone selling part number MD311994. Supposedly this is what they use on their 6 bolt swaps into a 2G bay, since this particular sensor can actually fit a vacuum hose onto it.

The problem with the usual 2G MDP sensors (MD305600) is you can't attach a hose to it without something like JB weld or running around with a check engine light on all the time

I kinda checked around here and Google but couldn't find much. I looked briefly along the lines of 'MDP sensor alternatives', etc but came up dry.

Has the same amount of wires, not 100% about the keyway, but I'd bet that's kosher as well. I looked up the part number MD311994 in my Mitsubishi ASA program and it reveals only a little tid bit. "SENSOR,ENG CONTROL BOOST"

I figure it should work, I don't believe that person would remedy their 6 bolt swap with this sensor and end up running around with the Check Engine light on all the time...I mean come on? His feedback is 100% @ 3000+!

Any thoughts people?

Go ahead, make my day

Try this adapter right here =)

The adaptor sounds like a better choice than that eBay item. However, keep in mind that the MDP sensor is designed to mate directly to the Intake Manifold. It would be BEST if you could have the manifold machined to accept the MDP sensor.

Well shoot, sorry about that guys. I figured everyone was gluing hoses to their MDP, it's also how my car came. I should have thought about that adapter.

I'm still interested in using this sensor though depending on if my MDP is bad or the code is responsible for something else.

Spenser, a few months ago I had a thread about machining a 1G intake manifold for a GM TMAP sensor which reads 3 bar (2 bar boost) but also reads temperature all in one. Here's the link if you have any thoughts to add...

I hope it helps!

Nice! Do you have a part number with that? Probably matches the one I found on eBay?

This is interesting! if you do go this route, please inform us what the outcome is. Im really curious to see if this works or not.
