Bench Testing MAP Sensor - Boost

[fofaster]

bumping this thread for the sake of visibility in hopes someone maybe has a setup that this could be tested on. Working on getting a motor together with a turbo to test this but until then it seems like development stopped on this and I'd love to help/see this get picked back up

[fofaster]

gonna use my truck to test. Going to first test it with the stock motor and trans before I swap. Get a baseline for a worn stock motor and then do the swap and get data with a built motor.

Lots to do, gotta start thinking of a design for the turbo and where I would fit an intercooler.

If you can patch the new XDF whenever and pm it to me that’d be awesome, want to have it handy.

Never built a turbo setup so this is all new to me, I’ll take any advice where yall have it. What kind of turbo should I source? Would a 7.3 turbo be good?

pmuller at fordsix has done extensive research on ideal turbo sizing for the 4.9. Would you be using a HD turbo exhaust manifold or the split EFI? I think that is your starting point.

these are expensive but would make the process much easier and faster. They have different configurations available.

FYI this sensor is advertised to handle 23 PSI and is compatible with the SD Trucks and broncos. Some code patching and this sensor should make boost pretty straight forward. I'd love to do it myself but not financially able to at the moment. I'd love to help out if anyone has the resources to build a boosted setup.

Subtract atmospheric pressure leaves us with(23-14.7)= 8.3psi.

I have a turbo, engine build is on hold. I always that a 3 bar GM map sensor was the way to go with boost?

[efloth]

I thought the GM sensors were voltage, not frequency based. if you still have your OE sensor, it should be able to measure boost up to 25 psi or so. review the earlier posts in the thread for more info.
