Get the GM, most people use that. I just sold mine in favor of a 4 bar.

3Bar Gm Sensor for $200.00 wow I need to get into that business.... as I recall I bought mine off a Dealership's GM Parts Dept. and felt raped at seventy (7X.XX) some odd dollars...

Go to a GM dealer and ask for the boost sensor that came off a 93 Typhoon, I think was the year, it's like a Jimmy with Turbo.... they only made it for 1-2 years, and there was no other boost sensor on those .... also Grand Nationals had them I think....

Most Online GM parts dept.'s have parts lookups where you can see what cars that part fit too....

Syclones and Typhoons had a 2-bar.

AFAIK 89 Turbo Trans Am's (GN motor) are the only GM car with the 3-Bar.

Does anyone know about the Denso 3 bar map sensor? I think I 've heard that it came from a supra? I'm not sure though, just seen someone using one and that's what they said it was out of.

Thanks

RotorJoe 12-21-05 01:18 PM

After a small search I think the Denso Map Sensor is the ApexI Map Sensor?

Does it plug right in with out cut and splicing?

Thanks

Jay7 Nyc 12-22-05 07:58 AM

Denso makes the stock map sensor for FDs. I havent recieved my apexi 3bar sensor as of yet but when I do i'll take pics. I know the apexi 3bar is a plug n play unit unlike the GM 3bar sensors..

NoMorePoison 05-29-07 01:04 AM

So back from the dead that it makes me sick, but I found a denso 3bar from a guy in town for $25, and I want to know if it will work with the pfc.

cewrx7r1 05-29-07 02:45 PM

Any will work, but you will have to calibrate it to have the correct scale and offset if yoy want to have displayed boost and ABS PIM pressures.

the Apexi 3 bar map sensor use the Denso one. so it should have the same plug as ur stock one.. just slightly different shape than ur stock.

I'm running the apexi /denso 3 bar. its been working fine. But unless you're boosting over 15 psi, there's really no need to get a 3 bar.
