1G map sensor location

[enriquez2000]

I think Im just going to fix all my issues by ditching my maf and going speed density. Since I have a 1g can I put the map sensor where the hose for pcv hooks into the intake manifold and then route the pvc hose to maybe say the turbo intake pipe?

Looking for the most painless way to do this since the 1g has no mdp and limited vacuum ports which are already taken by the FPR

1. Yes shorter the better so I took off my manifold and tapped it with a brass fitting all set car idles great still tuning to break in new engine and making changes next year for different turbo set up I've learned tuning isn't that bad .

This is probably the best in my own opinion, however i like how it looks the wat JAY did it, but back to this; if your on a catch can "witch we should all be one" then this is the perfect spot to connect to. Nice and short.

So you are saying use the pcv port?

 

[miliman13]

Yes.

I've had experience with teeing into the brake booster port and running through a port just for the map. I had no change in data in ecmlink they both read identical. I don't think it's going to hurt one bit how ever you do it just as long as you have it running. Like you said you will change it later, it's exactly what I did.

I have mine mounted like blktalon3 and it's working great!

So we are 1/8 inch npt? All i need to know is what screws in so i can buy the right piece

Nothing on a stock, factory DSM is NPT. All the pipe threads are BSP. British standard pipe. The brake booster nipple is 1/8th BSP. That's why the adapter I linked works. It has 1/8 BSP male port to screw in where the brake booster is, then 1/8 NPT (on the side) to screw in your MAP (I thought you had an AEM MAP). You can still just screw in a hose bard into the NTP port and attach a hose for your GM sensor.
So it goes like this.

1. Take out you brake booster nipple
2. Screw brake booster nipple into female BSP port on adapter
3. Screw NPT to hose barb adapter into NPT port on adapter.
4. Screw adapter into brake booster hole.
5. Connect hoses.
6. Run.

Remember, these are pipe threads, so use sealant. NOT Teflon tape. Use a thread sealer.

So npt threads into bsp? Seams easy enough if i get the right splitter.

Huh? I don't even know what you are asking?

Harder to find than you might think. I linked you to one of the best products a few posts back.

I ordered it. But the bsp nipple wont thread into the npt adapter correct?

That is correct, but why would you want the BSP nipple to thread into anything but the manifold? What NPT adapter are you talking about? One of us is confused

I got the adapter you linked. So i assume i need to buy 2 npt nipples to run map and brake booster since the stock nipple wont go into the adapter.

OK, i get it now. You are confused .

Look at this picture. The male threads on the far left are BSP. They thread into the manifold. The hole in the center(facing you) is NPT. That's where you put a barb for your MAP. The hole to the far right is BSP. You put the stock nipple back in there to reconnect your brake booster! I believe there are 2 NPT threaded holes (across from each other) so you need one barb for your MAP and also a 1/8th NPT plug for the other side.

Ok.. now i get it... thiough it was just a 3 way not a 4. So ill need 1 nipple and one plug 1/8 npt... ding ding ding.

I would have figured out when it got here but i want all parts ready to go so im not hunting stuff down
