ECMlink Quick SD question

[miliman13]

Hey guys I have a few short questions.
I have the option to go with either a Mitsubishi style map sensor or Gm style (with nipple/hose). I have a 6 bolt long block and oddly enough an intake manifold with a 2g style sensor. Weird right.

My question is what would be the better option or benefit?

Second any gm map/ait sensor will work? Saw this on Amazon but couldn't find any info on anyone using it. Appears to be cheaper.
And lastly, I hear some tuners complain that the 3 bar sensor limits boost to about 30. Yet I thought 1 bar = 14.5 psi.
Thanks guys.

I use the omni 4 bar haven't tuned much yet buy for 30 plus psi is why i got it and better resolution ecmlink had a list of sensors to use but you shouldn't have any issues with it

I have a question for you, what is your flexible recirc tube called and where do you find them? I suck at finding things sometimes!
thanks

Lol. No problem is dryer hose found at your local home depot/ Lowes. Took me a while to find a fit. ( cheap ).

haha that funny I was gonna guess like a house vacuum's hose, now I know thanks.

Go with the gm style stuff . The stock map sensor will not allow you to boost as would the omni 4 bar sensor would.

Did you mean the stock ( mdp ) sensor. Or a Mitsubishi style ( map ) sensor . I don't believe our OEM ( mdp ) sensor can even be used for the application of S,density.

 

[miliman13]

So just for clarity. I can go with option #1.

Or option #2.

. I was told by some one who tunes for his 9-5. That he's seen( map )sensors fail that are directly mounted on the manifold, vibrations, heat, ect...

But I wanted to hear from you guys. Most of us have only one choice, for some reason I have both choices. Side note, I looked up to see if any 6 bolts ever had that sensor on the manifold and haven't found any, perhaps maybe it could be euro/ect..

 

[RipperXX]

What!? Sensors don't like to be mounted directly to hot things that vibrate!?





Note to self: Move O2 sensor.

Oops got little mixed up there

I have the SD bundle from ecmlink with the Mitsubishi style omni 4 bar, and it works perfect, very accurate to my innovate boost gauge.

I also have a question for you! Where you get that exhaust manifold heat shield!

This is not what I expected from this thread, . No problem. I had alot of heat problems+Florida. So I made my own solution.

I added a turbo heat blanket, also purchase 2000 degree heat blanket, and bolted it to sheet metal I cut and shaped. Yeah I know it looks super professional! But I'm more concerned with results.

option one considering the map sensor needs to be as close to the intake as possible and further more it eliminate the need for a vacuum line.

And slicing up the harness. In leaning toward it.

However, the mdp sensor already makes contact with the DC bars. Here's an added question what does the mdp sensor even do? And I'm assuming it's only necessary with stock maft.

 

[Type1DSMr]

Even less splicing if you get the adapter harness ecmlink sells for the iat sensor and the gm map sensor, plugs into maf connector. Obviously, won't work for Mitsubishi style map since it plugs straight into original oe harness.

 

[miliman13]

^ correct, but I'm a dsm-er I can make my own harness .

Dsm= did shi# myself . Love this community.

The reason the 3 bar doesn't go above 30psi is because normal air pressure at sea level is 1bar or 14.7psi. Now any boost you add into the turbo goes above that 1bar (14.7psi) so say you're running 30 psi, the sensor is really reading 44.7psi. Now if you think about it that is actually .6psi higher than the sensor should actually be able to read (3bar = 14.7psi X 3 or 44.1psi). That is why some of the people here are saying you should go with a 4bar unit because it allows up to 44.1psi of total boost instead of only 29.4psi. It's simple math that you can figure out yourself to figure out what best suits you. If you plan not to run over 30psi of boost than go with the 3 bar. Basically use the math that I described before to find the best sensor for your application. Hope this helps and good luck with your build.
