Default EFI Source 3 bar map values

Going over my tune last night before the first start up and came across the map scaling. I'm using the 3 bar map from EFI Source and tried to find info on the values used for scaling. I've seen some say 0-315 and I've also seen 0-305 on their site. Would someone be willing to share what values they used who's used it with the Holley EFI? Thanks.

Mine is set to 0-315. Now that you mention it, I'm not 100% why so many people use 315 when the correct scaling is actually somewhere around 0-304 kPa.

They have it posted on their site blog. The Linear setting is 305 and the Offset is 10.33.

Whatever you do, get a Mityvac or similar and test it afterwards to ensure its correct.

Alright, just tested the EFI Source 3 bar map sensor with a mytivac and a pressure regualtor with a gauge. As far as vacuum goes, the sensor was right on. However, when pressure was applied, the sensor was off by about .75 to 1 psi in lower ranges (below 10 psi) and off roughly 1.5 to 2.0 psi up high (over 25 psi). In all cases, the sensor was showing lower than the actual pressure applied. After adjusting the voltages in the software, the sensor is now accurate and the repeatibility is there in both the high and low ranges. Just thought I'd what I found.
Edit; this information was found when using the voltages or the "custom" 3 bar map in the Holley system.

I used to run 0-315 what did the final value end up being? I actually sent the EM to EFI source asking them to put it on their website a few years ago lol

Even with a genuine sensor, it's best to test so it reads as you expect.

but with a chinese sensor, it's almost essential.

Ultimately it doesnt really matter...but to do it right, you want to know all the numbers things are telling you are correct too.

It's still 0-315, I'll get you the voltages used to get it to read correctly under pressure and vacuum when I fire my laptop back up.

Those readings may apply to your setup....again, given inconsistency with some chinese sensors, there's no guarantee all other sensors will read the same, although they should be close.

Agreed in every respect. It's easy enough to check any sensor and adjust it accordingly of your system allows.

What does the offset do, what is it offsetting and what units are they?

Presumably just internal calculations. Units dont really matter.

Different ecu's allow you to scale sensors in different ways. Some simple and straightforward...others in really weird ways. End result will be the same which is what matters.

Easiest and most sensible is just a 0-5v table where you enter the pressure values that correspond with voltages throughout that table, with as many data points as necessary. Although for a linear sensor only 2 should really be needed. Not all sensors do behave linear though, even if they should.
