30Psi+ Map Sensor

Hey all I'm about to start tuning my car, I have a tough engine that I built and want to put around 30-35PSI of boost into it. I have been told the factory MAP sensor can only read up to 28PSI so I'm wondering what MAP sensor the guys with over 30PSI are using? I'm assuming the factory MAP sensor is a 2 bar unit so I'd like to get 4 bar sensor.. Any help would be appreciated.

Standard fitment 3.5 and 4 bar sensors in the PDF.

How do you plan on rescaling the t-MAP calibration in the PCM?

You'll be lucky to get over 23psi from the stock sensor....BAP dependent.

I havnt scaled one before but I'll data log the one that's on there at the moment. I'll have to see what the voltage and signal are doing and go from there, I'm sure I'll figure it out but if you have any information that would be great too..

Looks like a pretty tough engine alright, going by your sig.

Why don't you run an electronic boost controller? Just wondering 'cause it sounds like you know your stuff :)

The t-MAP sensor is used in the air flow estimation. There is a seperate MAP sensor before the TB that's used for the factory closed loop boost control.......SO given you can tune boost off the ducy cycle table only, the pegged MAP seanor isnt an issue and an eBoost won't help with the issue of unmetered fuel. If you look at the sensor calibrations they are very different so you're going to have to fool the PCM given that you cant directly rescale the sensor volt vs MAP itself. You should really go through the entire PCM and recalibrate everything that is load based.....anytime you touch speed density you have to recalibrate anything load related...and that takes ages.

I'll tune it entirely in open loop (duty cycle only) especlally boost control and and where ever else I can. I'll have a read through the Advantage manual in the next day or so and I'll figure out how to scale the MAP sensor.
