Van?s includes their $50 manifold pressure sensor kit in the firewall forward kit. The kit is tailored to using their MAP gauge. It seems that most people adapt it to an engine monitor to get the MAP sensor aft of the firewall. However, I was reading on Dynon?s forum that it should be OK to put the MAP sensor on the engine side of the firewall. That would make the install much easier. I was thinking of using the spare port on the oil/fuel pressure manifold. There would be fewer breaks in the MAP pressure line, and one less hole through the firewall. One drawback is that I?ll have to find a custom length flex hose from the cylinder to the manifold. Does anybody see any other drawbacks to this approach?
