Trigger points for CAS.
Re: Trigger points for CAS.
There's more room than the photo shows but the plenum will be sitting higher when finished.
Re: Trigger points for CAS.
Nice fab work! Is it ideal to have the MAP sensor lower than the plenum?
Re: Trigger points for CAS.
It's a remote sensor and this is what was surgested to me.

Re: Trigger points for CAS.
Atsolutely a bad idea as any liquids will collect in the pipe work and cause major issues. Just think about a bit of condensed oil or fuel residue the consistency of honey sitting in the lowest point in the pipe, acting as a restrictor and causing significant lag in MAP readings. If this will be a forced induction engine then the problems could be as significant as burnt pistons or valves.
The best practice is for the map sensor pipe to have a constant down slope into the manifold so it self drains. Have a look at where the manufacturers locate theirs. I doubt that the engine vibration will be good for reliability or stable readings.

Oops, I never thought of that, mines mounted at 90 to original, was hiding it in engine bay, better make a bracket for it and rotate it, thanks for the tip guys !
Re: Trigger points for CAS.
All good got plenty of room behind the plenum to mount it on the firewall.

Re: Trigger points for CAS.
vibrations don't seem to effect them, I have had more than one mounted to the engine with no issues, but I definitely agree about getting the sensor higher than its connection to the motor.
No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!
