Radix 2 bar MAP sensor
 
Does anyone know where I can pick up a 2 bar map that is the style the radix uses? I am curious if some of the factory boosted 3.8 v6 motors came with the 2 bar? Anyone have a clue?

Radix doesn't come with a 2bar MAP sensor.To add a 2bar MAP sensor you need to add programming to allow your PCM to read to 2 bar signal.A 2bar MAP from a supercharged 3.8 will work with the programming HPtuners sells.Don't use the MAP from a turbo TransAm it's a 3bar.

That was the confirmation I needed, supercharged 3.8's used it. Thanks.

I believe the GM PN is 12580698 works with just a slight modification. It's for the Supercharged 04 Saturn Ion Red Line. That's what they tell me anyway. I will know for sure when the one I ordered get here and I put it on my truck.

You can try Summitracing part#ACC-74776.You'll need to make an adapter plug.I made one using a late model Ford voltage regulator the prongs were a match to the truck MAP I cut the regulator's plug away with Dremel tool and soldered the wires of a MAF replacement harness to the rear of the prongs.

That is a 2.5bar with a built in BARO it won't work.Save your money.

I'd appreciate that here is a link to a GM# 16249939. I'm not sure if it is a 2 bar but it is one of the oem #'s that Advance Auto Parts gives to fit a 1998 Grand Prix GTP. They listed several but this is the only one's which picture matches up. Let me know if that is the correct GM#. It is $37 on gmpartsdirect or I can get wholesale price at my local dealer. Thanks.

Really? I found 6+ threads on EFILives forum that said that pn 12580698 was a plug and play 2 bar map sensor for a LSx motor. A couple of the post are from guys that are currently using it. I hope it the right one, I just ordered one from gmpartsdirect yesterday. Jesse from Wait4me told me a supercharged 04 Saturn Ion MAP was a pulg and play for this, other then changing the seting in the pcm. Can you confirm its not he right part I need?
