4 bar GM style map senosr
4 bar GM style map senosr I am running a GM 3 bar style map sensor right now with HP Tuners. I am looking to run over 30lbs this year without switching to Holley just yet (yes I know I need to switch).
Does anyone have an experience using 4bar map sensor with HP tuners?
Anyone every use one of these 4 bar GM map sensor at all, thoughts?

If you cannot re-scale for correct units, you could just use any map sensor really, do a DIY calibration so you know yourself what boost refers to what MAP sensor reading and accept the differences
It isnt a nice way to do it but as long as you know and understand what's going on it isnt a big deal. Might confuse the **** out of someone else tuning it at a later date if you didnt tell them though lol
Whilst you can peg a lower pressure sensor, I dont like doing that. I like a sensor with headroom as you can use the higher pressure values on the tables as a crude failsafe for overboost.
With a pegged sensor you cannot do that
I've only seen one seller on egay selling a 4bar GM style though, so no idea what the quality etc is like.
Other makers do sell similar though, think Bosch do a 4 bar sensor too.
