So i was just wondering what would be the best spot to put my map. D16z6 manifold, and an AEM 3.5 bar map.



I was thinking where the arrow is pointing, there is a flat spot and it would be protected from getting broken off. I'm just not sure if there is supposed to be a special spot for it.

aren't they usually on the throttle body? I think where you have the arrow would be fine. shouldn't get broken there.

some have them on the throttle body and some have them mounted on the firewall (my 92 dx had this). If yours already has one on the TB, why not put the new one there? The only downfall I see is you couldn't go back to stock if you're going to have to modify the hole very much.

Yes i believe they are on the throttle body, thats why i want to see if it would be a performance issue for the sensor not being on the TB.

mmm so what is the function of the map sensor?

MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor

necessary to calculate air density and determine the engine's air mass flow rate, which in turn is used to calculate the appropriate fuel flow -wiki

did you still want my gsr tb Craig? there a spot to mount right on there. Then oyu wont have to worry about drilling it into your intake mani

id use one of the nipples that are allready there on the manifold and just use a vacuumline to hook it up. wouldnt drill in the manifold.

but you would need to blank of the place on the tb.....
