swaping map sensors
 

dropped an a6 in my hf and i have just been told that i need an si map sensor soo my car doesn't ramdomly bogg down... need help...no clue how to do that, and making sure, map sensor is the box with all the vacuum lines sticking out? lol. and is it to hard of a swap for a rookie?

Re:swaping map sensors
 

why would you need to swap the map sensor for an hf->si swap? I've never heard of that.

or are there any tricks to put in vacuum lines that would beable to use my hf map sensor...?

Re:swaping map sensors
 

the map sensors should be the same. and there are no vacuum line tricks for anything. I once came across a kid who had just bought a prelude and he removed the vacuum plugs on the intake manifold giving him a nice vacuum leak and he swore that his car was alot faster after doing that, I didn't know if I should cry for the sake of all Hondas or kick his ass for being an idiot. I just went home.

well it's definately the vacuums and there are extra vacuum likes just sitting around and no where to put them...and when my car starts dying i pull this one out...try to drive my car and then put it back in and it'll run fine untill i stop the car...and someone on hmt said swap my map sensor and this car place said they couldn't fix my car cuz the stuff is too different

Re:swaping map sensors
 

someone on hmt said to swap your map probably because yours is fucked up. look around for a vacuum diagram, google search on it, and make sure you have everything correctly hooked up. are you getting a map sensor code? the map sensor is the thing on the passenger side with 3 wires coming out of it, just so you know in case you have to replace it.

but mine is an hf map sensor soo it has 5 or sumtin like that

Re:swaping map sensors
 

that's weird, I've never heard of that before.

Re:swaping map sensors
 

HF and Si MAP's have the same 3 pin plugs...as do all Honda's...i use a stock HF MAP in my car, with a turbo B18A1 @ 10psi...

well could someone just tell me wut u have to do when u put a a6 block in an hf ...cuz all i did was drop it in. change the ecu and plug in the wiring harness...and it runs....but like crap, do u have to cut a wire on the ecu harness? thas wut one person said an i can't find n e thing on the forums about it...or on google searches
