6 bolt swap..need help with intake manifold

[phillabaum03]

im doing a 6 bolt swap and ive got just about everything done that i know..i have a 1g intake manifold and im not sure what i have to do with the map sensor and what ever else sensor is on the 2g manifold..just looking for some help ..

thanks

You T the MAP sensor into a vacuum source, such as the brake booster line behind the intake manifold.

is that the only thing thats needs to be changed on the intake manifold?

 

[olmytsi]

Yes it is. Evrything else is just swapping over from one to another.

Thats the only thing I changed. You will have to either get a 1g coil pack that fits in the 1g manifold, or put your 2g coil somewhere.

anyone got pics of the setup?

alright..the map sensor..you say T if off to a vacum line..how do you get a vacum line to stay on the little nipple on the map sensor..he seems so small to stay on

There is a guy on here that makes a sweet relocation block. Its machined out of a block of aluminum and anodized black. I can post a pic of mine if someone can tell me how to post pics on the board. It's the nicest piece I have ever seen for using the stock map with a 6 bolt swap. The map bolts into the block, and there is a nipple to connect any vacuum line to. The only information I still have on him is this:

I have had a 6bolt swap in my car for over 3 years now and I just took off the map sensor that was on the 2g intake manifold and I haven't run into any problems at all.

wish you luck im there to

so your sayin i ###### dont need the map sensor?

 

[olmytsi]

You dont need it cause i also ran my car without it and there was no difference. I had it on and off twice in a row just to see if there was a difference and the only thing was 2 check engine lights:

one for not having it plugged in at all (physically not in the engine bay)
one for when it is plugged in but isnt getting a vacuum reading.

But i would hook it up if you can, its not hard and the computer uses it every time you start up so its there for a reason. I mean even evos have it so it has to do something important for the mitsu ecus.

everytime i type is come us###### like i swore..is that a virus or something...??

The Manifold Differential Pressure (MDP) sensor only checks for proper EGR operation. It is used for emissions only, you will have a CEL for not having it plugged in.
