Excellent

 

I got my sensor in the mail today. Thanks for not being stingy on the postage.

It got here in a day.

 

That's gotta be a record! Might be a bit lucky too. I've a had a few that have taken a week to go a shorter distance.

 

Got it too!!!

Thanks mrfred!!!

 

I'm sad...I won't be back home until Friday or Saturday to get mine. Oh well, at least it will make for a fun weekend!

 

Got mine, thanks. Going in tomorrow.

 

I waiting on two sensors that mrfred mailed today. So far I have bought four from him. I think this is a record

 

Hahahaha, must be!!! Right now I am having fun taking a more in depth look at my logs, not that I am going to tune it myself, but just to learn and compare with what others are achieving, specially in the area of ECU boost control. MBC really have limitations as I am seeing from my logs.

The good thing is that I have confirmed that my Defi boost gauge is off by around 1.5 psi depending on the boost level, this makes me feel a whole lot better!!!


I know this is off topic, but can anyone chime in on experiences with upgraded WGA to alliviate boost taper on a MBC setup???

Finally, two huge thumbs up for mrfred for hooking us up on the forum with these JDM MAP sensors!!!

 

has anyone done this mod on an JDM 7 the Map sensor i have on my car is a MD305600 same as the evo8's my rom is 98640014, if someone has done this or knows which values would be best to copy into my rom that would be awesome.

 

You'd have to send me your ROM so I could find the tables that need to be changed. PM me if you want this done.

 

Learn how to tune your own car is the best advice that I can give you. No one cares about your car more than you do. At first, the task of tuning seems overwhelming, but once you crest that learning curve tuning your own car is so satisfying. It is really NOT that hard. Pro-tuners make it seem hard because they want to make money. They scare you with wild tales about blowing up your engine and other nonesense. It is really really hard to blow up a 4g63.

WOW, I had the same experience with my Defi D boost gauge. I sold it and bought an Innovate XD-16 programmable gauge. I tapped a wire from the ECU map sensor pinout and connected it to the XD016 via the LM-1. Now I display the boost as it is read by the JDM MAP sensor.

I will second that

 

Got mine today! Thanks mrfred

 

Just did this today. Figured an update to the physical installation instructions would help for those non-wrench inclined like myself. Thanks to Towelie and his friend who saw me working on the car and took the clip off for me (the hardest part of the install)

1) You'll need an 8mm (or equivalent) wrench and extension to make it easy to reach the bolts for the MAP sensor
2) Remove those bolts first. Trying to get at the clip with those bolts on was hard
3) Once the sensor has been freed via the bolts then attack the clips from the side (worked best for us)
4) Reverse and you are good to go .

 

I got my JDM 3 bar MAP sensor today. Thanks mrfred for the great service, communication and timely shipping. I also want to thank kreionic for his help. Kreionic helped me with some software issues and spent about two hours doing so. It is unbelievable that someone would take that kind of time with someone they don't even know to help sort out some software issues. I have a lot of respect for you man and I definitely owe you one, thanks again. Thanks to these guys I am on my way to more accurate and reliable tuning.

 

This is somewhat off topic and I am not sure if it has been answered, but why do they have a 3bar sensor in japan and not the US? Do they use the ECU to control boost in Japan? Sorry if this is a stupid question or if it has already been answered. Kinda tough to filter through 300 posts.
