Setup for my D series

[Limbo]

i always thought it was 1 bar

Yeh but doesnt it only read 10psi?

[VTECnique]

well correct me if im wrong, but arent the honda MAP sensors 1 bar? just because the MAP is 1bar, doesnt mean it can hold 1 bar of boost. a 2.5bar holds about 25psi...

[Limbo]

nah 1 bar is 14.7PSi apparently

I made my own thread about this so i stopped hijacking this thread but for people who are confused CRXer summed this up well.

MAP is manifold "absolute" pressure,meaning read from perfect vaccuum=0psi

atmospheric is already 14.7 psi of your map sensor=1bar

14.7psi boost=atmo + 14.7=2 bar
29.4psi boost=atmo + 29.4=3 bar

u can get a 2.5bar,but thats not leaving u much headroom ontop of 20psi,so id just get the next size,but thats up to u.

im only gunna be running 10psi max for starters so i'll keep the stock MAP sensor. A question on the downpipes on ebay for the D16 civics, are they really bad quality stuff or would it be sufficient for my build? Would i be better off getting one made..

[VTECnique]

they may be a hit or miss, you never know until you fit the product/item. try it & if it doesnt happen, just get one made up...

tbh i think you should just get your local exhaust shop to set that up...will cost 50-100 more but it will come with warranty and it wont break.

i heard your stock ecu is better then hondata dude so go for it. just buy another engine when your start your current engine

[ZeForce]

It should be fine to start it up and let it idle, I wouldnt go driving it around though
