Default Map sensor bypass

To install a map sensor bypass (check valves not missing link) you have to take the map sensor off the manifold and then take the t connector and stick it in the hole that is left in the manifold. Is this right? If so, what do you do with the other end? Do you just let it hang? Does anyone know.

On the newer civics (92+) its kinda goofy how you do it. You can take the map sensor off, and use that port off the T-body (put a little nipple on that hole) and run a peice of vacuum line to the map sensor. Then on that line you can put how ever many check valves you want to. Or if you dont want to use that spot. Just block it off, and find another source of vacuum on your intake and do the same thing. Basically to install check valves, you dont hook them up inline. you have to T into the line, and let the valves Bleed off the T extension.. ---- I had a pic...

Thanks for the help. Is it better to just get a missing link?

what fuel management are you running? might wanna look into the smc controller, it runs 450 injectors and keeps the cel from coming on. they run $120.

I see they've gone up in price by $5. still affordable.

Do I have to tune it myself or does it do it autmatically. Thanks for the help.

Would a ECG Electronics O2 simulator work just as well? It's only $48

the SMC controller is designed to work in conjuction with larger injectors. So yes tuning will have to be done.
It will basically keep the voltage under 3.0v to the map ecu signal wire. (keeping the cel off)

Yes, the Missing link will also work, its a peice of cake.
