    Default 3 bar map sensor - 411 PCM

    I have been struggling to find a 3 bar map sensor that works with efilive via a 411 ls1 computer.
    Last year i tried a old style delphi 3 bar map and had nothing but issues. There was a blank area in the tune that i could not change and would go real lean every pass. Car drove low rpm fine and was reading boost over 20psi. Swapped back to my 2 bar map/tune and the car would run/pull fine.
    I have been running all year 25+psi on my 2 bar and really need to get this figured out.

    Which 3 bar map do you guys recommend/have experience with at high boost levels on the 411 pcm?

    Thanks

    I'm runing ZR1 3 bar map sensor but the problem the scaner can't log morr than 255 kpa which equal to 22.5 psi
    so after that you can not correct the boost VE table

    255kpa is actually NOT equal to 37psi.

    Yes, you are correct. I work more with compressed gases than I do with boosted engines.... my mistake, and my previous post has been edited.

    On some LS1 OS's there is a PID 'GM.MAPBOOST_DMA', that'll read above the SAE.MAP PID's limit of 255kPa.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
