Can the VMAP map sensor be used in the 3B?

[Jonas_R]

Well,

Since it does seem impossible to get a 3 bar bosch map sensor, iam looking into buying a VMAP. But can they be used on the the 3b?

Maybe MRC knows this?

Speak to MRC they are VMAP dealers, heard a whisper they dont fit in the 3B ecu and also you need a new chip with a VMAP to account for the VMAP scaling.

What map sensor did Ross run??

How much do they cost? i havent accounted for one of these yet

[Jamo]

Thats only going on previous posts, knowing Doug and Minhea they can fit it in.

You need to contact MRC really.

Took a llittle bit of work to fit the 3bar chip in my 3B ECU. I would open it up and take a pic, but my old ECU is at Corey's.

I think it was about 120 notes before VAT, can't remember exactly.

Jamo:
Tried to email MRC but I have gotten no respons yet
I talked to 034motorsport and they say it is possible to use
However, what do you mean by a new chip? If you mean that I need a remap, then I am well aware of this, but does seem that you mean I need something else?

But I guess I will wait till MRC answers me. Just seems like the only options to get a 3 bar map sensor.

Yes I was saying if you car was mapped it would need remapping to cater for the new MAP sensor

[Jonas_R]

Ahh oki, well the car is mapped right now with a 250 kpa map sensor.

Vmap sensor fitted in later 3b ECU's but early ones like my old one would not take the Vmap as there wasnt enough room.

I had a re-calibrated 2.5bar bosch sensor fitted to my car (re-caled to 3bar). Worked perfectly with no problems. I still have the ECU somewhere (think Doug or Mihnea has it?)

Here is another option. This is the source and the maker of the V-map chip.
