Can I use a Zeitronix 3.5 Bar MAP sensor in place of stock?

I was wondering if I can use the Zeitronix 3.5 Bar MAP sensor with an adapter in place of the stock MAP sensor. Can the ECU be scaled to use this sensor correctly? If so can I still use the same sensor for the Zeitronix readout also? I'd imagine that I would just wire the sensor into the stock MAP sensor harness & then tap only the signal wire to the Zeitronx display. Does this sound correct. Any insight would be great.

I did it with a 5 bar zeitronix one so i can't see why not.

I used a seperate sensor though not tapping into the wires for the display unit.

Do you think that would work using one sensor for mutiple aplications? I can't see why it wouldn't, but I'm no electrical genius. Does my wiring idea sound about right? Should all 3 wires be connected to both aplications or just the signal?

I wouldn't risk it honestly the sensor is cheap enough not to have a reason to mess with it. If anything you could check out the 4 bar omni sensor out so you don't even have to splice in the wiring to the other round input style.

Thread on my work with the 5bar and one on the 4 bar sensor in the ecuflash subforum.

I'm mainly interested in cleaning up my engine bay a bit. I've got 3 separate MAP sensors & would like to consolidate if possible.
