Re: Turbo Installed, now i have some questions(Max boost on stock MAP sensor ?)
Thought i would post this here Aldo so the info is there. The stock Honda MAP sensor is good for around 11 psi. Like many of the sensors utilized throughout the engine, the MAP sensor works on a 0-5volt range. 0 marks the lowest amount of pressure that the sensor can pickup and 5 volts is the maximum value of the sensor. Whether you have a 3 bar, 5 bar or what ever, they all work on this 0-5v range. What changes is the sensitivity of the sensor and it's response to pressure. Here is an example of a couple MAP sensors and their pressure ranges and voltages (not exact but gives you a good idea).
Voltage: 0...................2.5...................5v
Stock Honda Sensor: -14.7.................-1.9................10.8psi
AEM 3.5 Bar MAP: -14.7.................10.3................35.3psi
GM 3 Bar MAP: -14.7..................6.9.................28.8psi
