2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?
 

While trying to list some stuff on ebay I started browsing around and found this. Actually looks nice and like a good idea. Just wondering if anyone else is in the process of making something like this?

Description
CNC Machined from Aluminum. This adapter will allow you to bolt the 2.5 MAP Sensor on your stock location in the throttle body.
Just simply remove the stock map sensor, bolt this adapter and the MAP sensor will bolt to this.
The benefits of this adapter are:
-provides the MAP sensor a very secured mounting location on the engine bay.
-avoids the MAP sensor to be pulled by hanging wires
-reduces vibrations to the map sensor wich can cause failure of the device
-provides the MAP sensor with a faster response and reading to the manifold's vacumm/pressure readings, as Honda designed it
-eliminates the need for T's and vacumm hoses on the engine bay
-gives a nice bling look to the engine bay

LOL, "gives a nice bling look to the engine bay".

Yeah the price sux, 35 for a piece of aluminum and Ild end up painting it black so ---- the polishing BS. I thinks it a good idea though. Just waiting for Craig to star making sumtin like this. His new vac manifolds seem pretty kosher and I could make one myself w/ Homedepot parts but.... well you see were im going. Bottom line is you could always argue against spending on something that you can due at home w/ spare time and ---- in the garage for free but damn, I just like it. :-\ I still plan on going the MADMAX route but I just had to post this up.

I would gladly pay 30-40 bucks for one of those. :y

Mario (TurboEG) says his works great + 2.5 motorola map sensor

looks like a good solution, wish there was a non-bling cheap/easy HMT way to make adapters and sell them

Also remember those don't come with the sensor either.

Lets hope this sparks some interest in Aaron. :-*

Freescale bud ::)

Re: 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?
 

I already thought of making those but really the profit and how many your gonna sell is small at best

Re: 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?
 

That sux to hear, Hopefully someone decides to make em a hooks up the HMT comunity. If decently priced Im sure others would buy em. I prollly would. ;)

Re: 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!
 

That's what I'll be using too ;) I have no idea when though, but it feels good to have that and the 3bar ready to go for when I get money to build a D :y

Re: 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?
 

I was just referring to the fact that I think they're a tad bit pricey...

A cheaper solution would rock. :)

Re: 2.5 BAR MAP Sensor Adapter, Great Idea!?
 

There a fair price. You cant run a batch of a 1000 so you run batches of maybe 50. Takes 3 months to sell them at maybe a 15-20 dollar profit. Hence why its not the best idea. You will sadly be better off making a missing link and selling them on ebay.

The guy posted his original idea for this on HT IIRC, but maybe HMT as well. Story goes he wanted the adapter made, but it would be just a tad more to make a bunch, vs the high cost for just one. In other words, its like a personal group-buy. You could easily have 50 of these made for very little, assuming you didn't have it perfectly CNC'd, your logo cut into it - just a few simple cuts and deburring the sharp edges.

If you really want to do something cheap - either look at the motorola/freescale 2.5/4bar map mod thread, or try the non-ported versions. Before they started selling the ported 2.5bar's, I got the free-air style, and made little aluminum cacoons for them. I was thinking of even going with glass-filled epoxy for some mini-production scale numbers, but then they started selling the ported ones again, as well as the "free"scale sample thread popped up...

I do have to say its the only cheap way to get a 7bar sensor (freescale MPX5500D) to work... :o
