Siemens MS43 Retrofit MAP Sensor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:51, 6 January 2021

Modern engines are almost exclusively equipped with pressure sensors to measure manifold absolute pressure (MAP).

The M5x engines don't have this sensor, that could be very handy when converting the engine to forced induction, or if you simply want to know MAP.

For those who want to reftrofit a MAP sensor we write this article including a list of parts and tools you need.

As of today, this sensor is for data logging purposes only, but will be used for additional features in the future.

To have an additional +5V output available for the MAP (or basically any other) sensor you need to either modify the harness, or the ECU.

ECU modification is cleaner and cheaper but involves soldering on the PCB, for the harness mod you need an additional pair of connectors
