Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

I have a 3bar moto map sensor, these things are TINY......for those of you who have them, where are you mounting them? :6

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Go to radio shack or fry's and get a small project enclosure. Put it in there.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Hollow out a stock Map sensor housing like Madmax patented O0

Might try to do this if I can find the thread on it

I just went the 4 dollar radioshack project box route.

It's in my sig.

Pff no mounting required i just let it hand their :6

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

I'm pretty sure that the outside of the package needs to be exposed to atmospheric pressure to operate correctly. Could be wrong though. Wait, no, I'm right :

Attachment 17860

I *think* sealing that chamber could cause it to be inaccurate, but I'm probably just being paranoid.

Obviously it has a vacuum reference, but there could be offsets caused by pressures on the case. I know for a fact that if you say tighten the screws that hold them too much you will create wrong readings.

Just a thought before you bury one in epoxy or something.

I assume you guys are talking about the SMD type ones?

The motorola sensors are absolute...enclosing the case shouldnt pose a problem.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Fred, only gauge style sensors need P2 to be exposed to atmo. In the absolute pressure sensors, the P2 port is closed off and an almost complete vacuum is created behind the strain gauge sensor.

very pretty thought fred

I declare infringement. My post history on pgmfi.org places me as the originator of the idea.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Your history also lists you as the biggest whiner in teh whole world, so... :l

Freescale sensors (all rights sold to them in 2006) need that P1 hole/port (depending on the package type) exposed to air. The readings actually can be skewed if the case is distorted, since the way they work is measuring how much that 'die' flexes. Cementing it in epoxy in the sealed OEM housing will not get you any usable readings, since the epoxy and case are too rigid. Also they have gauge (atmosphere vs input) and differential (input 1 vs input 2) sensors, which won't work on cars.

You can use any sort of small case, as long as it is totally sealed (besides the vacuum port) and can hold hold the boost level you plan on running. ---- you could even use a condom and a rubber band... :1

Prove it nignog. >:D

Ask blundar, he tuned on a car I equipped with one.

I'm fairly sure Speed Phreak and Minor Threat were aware of it at the time. I kept it mostly on the DL because I didn't want the idea to get out while I was making money at the streetraces.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

I'll vouch for that.

No one around here knows enough about Honda's to even know what a MAP sensor is half the time. Shave the VTAK off the valvecover and you're good to go!

Also, pgmfi.org will vouch for that: http://forum.pgmfi.org/viewtopic.php...ilit=street%2A

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

All hail JD, oh creator of the "stock" MAP sensor. :y


Definitely never saw that thread on PGMFI though.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Well, you are a brighter than average egg and it does seem like a logical conclusion when you think about it. It's a sad reflection on everybody else that it hadn't been done sooner.

Re: Where you mount your moto map sensor
 

Cheers, exactly.
