Default Logging Boost

Hey guys,

Did some research on this, but was unable to come up with anything...

I am wanting to log boost with my innovate LM-1 with RPM convertor setup. I just need to hook up an analog signal to the RPM convertor to do this, but I am assuming I will not be able to do this with the stock MAP Sensor, correct?

Also, I have a D1-SC running 12 psi-13 psi...do I need to switch to a 2 bar? I don't plan on doing Speed Density as I do not know how to tune. My tuner is using HP tuners...is it a good idea to do a 2 bar MAP with the MAF still hooked up?

Thanks in advance for the help.

It is possible to wire in a second (2 bar) Map sensor and pick up a boost reference off of the intake manifold. You can use the output from this sensor to log from. That way you don't have to modify your tune or lose any resolution in your tables.

I have a 2 bar map sensor with a 5v source and log the output through the analog input of my Xcal3. Then I put in a formula to get boost PSI from the analog voltage.

Thanks for the input guys...so I would leave my stock MAP sensor in place and just wire up a 2 bar? Sorry for the ignorance...
