Clio 182 Turbo Map Sensor

[Jack Clifford]

Hello Guys,

Recently brought my Clio 182 back from the guy I sold it to! I had some unfinished busines.

I have all the mechanical components to do a cheap low boost turbo build but I need some info from guys that have done DIY Turbo builds.

Does the standard MAP sensor allow for positive manifold pressure?

Thanks

Yes, standard map sensor is fine for low boost up to 1 bar i think

 

[bloke]

nope, it can't read pressure. laguna gt map sensor is same plug fitting.

If you plan on using a piggyback ecu and keeping the boost under 1 bar, standard map sensor is fine

 

[bloke]

You sure? I'm 99.9% certain it doesn't read positive pressure?

Plus most stand alone ecus have built.in map sensor anyway so no need to leave the old one on.

Well its either one of two scenarios, either the standard map sensor can, or it cant but the aem piggyback ecu has the function to ignore the fact it cant.
Seeing as how thats the main functionality of how piggyback ecu's work its probably the latter, but either way cars that go into ED for either low or high boost setups go in and come out with the same stock map sensor in place
