Manifold pressure off MAP sensor?
 

Can a regular old MAP sensor easily be able to be used to drive a
manifold pressure gauge? What common analog auto gauge is easiest to
use, IF you want it to read "correctly" (i.e 30" approx. when the
engine is not turning, "low" (10, or whatever) at idle? "Auto" gauges
are calibrated assbackwards. I want MANIFOLD PRESSURE not VACUUM, and
preferably with the high end to the right like normal gauges.

Re: Manifold pressure off MAP sensor?
 

Why not buy the actual gauge used, like this testing:

vacuum gauges every hot rodder has on their machine, sold by
http://www.autometer.com/ http://www.stewartwarner.com/

Hi Doug,
I did look through your site, knowing your car is blown. I'm glad
it wasn't a snake! The new stock trucks have them going up the
windshield pillar. Like I thought you were designing.

Didn't want to poke holes in the plastic and was less obvious.
Added an O2 sensor to the setup a few months back. Never got
around to linking it or doing the page.

Exactly what I DO NOT want. I want the gauge to read MANIFOLD
PRESSURE. We are at 29.92 inches of mercury at sea level on Planet
Earth. I want it calibrated in inches of mercury, NOT pounds per square
inch, atmospheres, or kg/cm2. And I want it to read ambient pressure
when the engine is off and lower running-on a naturally aspirated
engine it will never read higher.

You would be better off posting in a weather newsgroup or a marine
group. You are looking for a weather instrument, not an automotive
instrument. Don't they call it a barometer?

Barometers, altimiters, and pressure gauges of all sorts are related,
but they aren't necessarily interchangeable. And NO, I do not want a
narometer or an altimeter. I want an absolute pressure gauge calibrated
in inches mercury for hooking to a spark ignition engine's intake
manifold.

Ok... Man now 'that' would be some fun interpreting any useful info
from it. LOL!

The aircraft industry has used EXACTLY what I am talking about for 70
years with perfect success. But I don't think $400 is a reasonable
price.

A. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and B, I want something that
looks like it fits in an automotive panel, not a homemade looking
thing.

If you know as much as you say you do, it should be easy to build it with
parts from Radio Shack.

Well.... if you don't want to by aircraft parts you might try a scientific
equipment supplier to find a gauge calibrated in in-hg. Call your local
high school science department as ask who they use.

May we ask why use need this calibration?

A deutz is a general purpose diesel engine, not a specialized wood
chipper engine. Many wood chippers have Chevy, Ford or Jeep
engines-yes, Jeep engines, the old F-head, or six cylinder
Continentals.
