What sensor is this?

[2geclipse565]

it is a 97 GSX with a 6bolt swap the manifold is a 1g as well. My question is what is this sensor and is there is a better way of attaching the hose? it keeps coming apart.

My 97 intake has the mount for it up top, put i also have a 2g manifold that doesnt have that mount like you. Not sure where the difference in years but im sure someone will chime in.

That's the MDP sensor. On the 2g manifold it's mounted on top of the manifold as it has a hole tapped for it.

MDP, not MAP.

What do the vacuum lines coming out of the top of the intake go to?

 

[2geclipse565]

one goes to the boost gauge in the car and the other goes to i forget the name but this guy here

Just flat the beginning of the "MDP Sensor" where the end hose meet, so it can stay on its place and if you want to be more satisfy put a new hose or cut the end of the hose so it can be more tight.
Here is a pic of what I am talking about, the figure is the nipple where the hose meet.
I had the same problem, But when I did this it was the last time that I worried about it.

Thanks for the advice, heres what I came up with

-tooth pick, string, vac line, glue and tape

Tape the string to the tooth pick and but it through the vac line

stick the tooth pick in the hole so no glue gets in there. use aglue that can be undone, I ended up not using the crazy glue but just some elmers type knock off this way it can be undone. I just put a light bead of glue around the nipple

and then a bead around the outside to seal it

just waiting for it to dry now, then il pull the tooth pick out. can any one see any flaws with this that Im not seeing? seems like it should work.

This would have been a easier solution. 2G DSM MDP adapter : JNZ Tuning

 

[2geclipse565]

unless im looking at it wrong, that wouldnt help me because I dont have the spot on my intake for that.

 

[snowborder714]

You are correct. That is for people who have a 2g intake manifold and do not run the stock MDP sensor any more, but want to use that to feed a MAP sensor or the like.

What you've done looks like it should work. Post back when you have everything installed so people know how it worked out.


Very interesting manifold you have though. I'd like to meet the person who decided to just drill and tap the plenum to gain more vacuum sources

wow... no kidding.

Isnt putting a 1g manifold on a 2g head kind of counter-productive?

 

[jb2zero0six5]

6-bolt swapped.

 

[dustkrock]

i got the 6 bolt 2.3 stroker swap and didnt hook up the sensor at all it is not needed

Oh yeah sorry about that, that was was the wrong one . Here is the one you could have used. 2G MAP Sensor Adapter

 

[2geclipse565]

FOR THE RECORD, it didnt work. glue pulled right off. Theoretically it made sense. oh well, if anyone has any other good ideas throw it at me Im more then willing to try. I just picked up the car and have other fish to fry.

thank you, That is a beautifuly machined piece, but to much $ for me.

You could pick up a 2g manifold. They are pretty cheap.

Wont work if hes using a 1g head.
