3 bar map sensor
The Zetec turbo rebuild is coming along nicely at the moment, with only a couple of dry build bits to complete until the engine and box go back in, so
thoughts now go onto ancillary parts, I'm going to need a 3 bar map sensor but not sure which one to use, the Delphi brand GM type was pretty
std but it seems they are now made in R.O.C , I just wondered what types you guys use, it's got to be a remote type.

Do you need 3 bar ?
I am looking at intercooler options at the moment and would love info on what way your going ?
Cheers

I've got quite a big intercooler in, off the top of my head it's 500mm x 300mm x 65mm this should be big enough to cool air for 350bhp,
the turbo I'm using tends to make around 24 psi of boost before starting to choke and blow hot air ( 500cfm/320ft/lb) so @ 24psi = 1.6 ish bar
build in the safety margin meaning a 3 bar sensor
Happy Christmas

That’s a bit of a monster
If you said 1 bar you can get a genuine ford 2.5bar sensor for reasonable money. I suppose that depends on what ecu you are running.
Is your intercooler somthing you have made or modified or of the shelf ? I am looking for as many options as I can find at the moment with an
efficient range of 220~270bhp.
Cheers

The ECU is an Emerald which will allow 3 switchable maps, the idea is map 1 normal road going ie low power 2nd map a bit more for those moments and
3rd map for full power, I hope to fit sensors to modulate the power at low speeds to stop to much wheel spin etc if I'm drag racing.
The intercooler was an off the shelf job, I measured it yesterday and it's actually 450mm not 500mm, it fits in quite nicely in a " you
will fit in there" sort of a way.
It looks like you have a 7 type car, if so I believe there are a couple of companies that sell a combined unit just for your type of car, I would have
used one myself but the intercooler inlet and outlet exit over the top of the rad and I didn't have the height to make it fit within the body,
as it is I'm having to cut the bonnet and part of the body away as the turbo sits too high and a bit too close to the existing opening,
I'm not too sure if the inlet side is going to touch either, as I'm running jenveys with a GTIR plenum.
I must admit half the fun is getting everything to work and fit
