Omni Power USA, Inc - Still Going

Has anyone tried their map sensors and are they any good.
Honda people seem to like them.

Suppose to be linear and temperature compensated.

The higher the bar value the worst the resolution because the output voltage is still 5v.
Cheaper might mean less reliable which might mean KABOOM!

They never answered my inquiry into their products.
So I purchased a known good product, an Apexi-Denso 3 bar.

Except it is so large, needs an adapter, and looks ugly!

I spent time looking for the Apex-i unit that worked with the PFC and couldn't find anything.

I opted for the GM 3-bar from Banzai and it showed up at my door in less than a week. Since I'm not trying to win car shows with my FD so I decided that looks aren't everything in my engine bay build.

I called FRSports on Oct 23 and they had three in stock. I ordered it using PAYPAL and the Payment was cleared on the 24th. It arrived on the 29th.

I had been checking with a local Houston shop for a month and their supplier still did not have any.

I did not check at:

My local who is out of stock is

And you paid 2x going rate for a Gm-style sensor? What kind of adapter do you need? Cut the stock connector off and crimp on the weatherpack.

Honestly, I think your looking for the answer to a question no one else is asking.

maybe aesthetics are more important than economical functionality?

Glad to see that at lease one person is above average intelligence and reasoning power.

By the same reasoning, there is no reason for us to own these expensive FD/FCs.
We all should be buying EVOs.
