map sensor??????, boost sensor swap Options

[dans_st]

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet...

But can I use a 2-bar 3SGTE map sensor on my 7AFTE, I have heard of HONDA guys that I know of using 1.2-2.0bar map sensors off of other vehicles on thier swapped cars so they don't keep damaging MAP sensors and get better readings, so can we do this as well??

I have heard that my SAFC-IIv2 can transfer these signal to be able to work with vehicles, and I don't mind changing clips if that has to be done, or radd seperate power & ground wires for the sensor???

They are called Turbo Pressure Sensors. That's why your parts store can't find it. The 3rd and 4th Gen 3SGTEs are the only 3SGTEs to use a MAP sensor. There is a thread at alltrac.net having to do with the AFM to MAP conversion and about how slow the response time is on this particular sensor. Since all the turbo pressure sensor does is control fuel cut due to overboost on the older 3SGTEs the theory is that it doesn't have to be as precise as the map sensors used in our newer cars. The turbo pressure sensor from the 2nd gen 3SGTE should work but probably not as well as a MAP sensor from the 3rd Gen 3SGTE or a GM 2 or 3 bar MAP sensor.
