Have been installing the Stage 2 universal kit (voltage-controlled) on my Mitsubishi Evo 1 today. All went well except I foolishly forgot to order the 3-bar MAP sensor to go with it. I thought the voltage controller would work but I didn't know beforehand that my MAF operates by a Karmann Vortex system, which gives a signal in Hz and not voltage.

I know that the GM 3-bar MAP sensors are recommended for DSM cars (and therefore my Evo 1 too). But someone I know has a 3-bar MAP sensor that was connected to an Apexi Power FC. Will this MAP sensor suffice or does it have to be a GM one?

I hope you can see my situation and I thank anyone who can offer me some advice in this matter

The only difference between the voltage controller and the 3 bar unit is the face plate, so yes it will work just the same. You can order face plates for the controller as well.

Thanks for the quick reply, man. My worry wasn't really about the voltage controller itself though; rather as to whether an Apexi PowerFC 3-bar MAP sensor would work instead of the GM one (which most people use in DSMs and other applications). I see no reason why not, but just wanted to check.

If it's any help, the MAP sensor on the PowerFC is a Denso one:

Denso DPS-310-2000A
949940-6270 5V

pretty much every 3 bar map is a carbon copy of each other, unless its one that only reads boost and does not read vacuum, Then the scale will be different. Some only read boost.

Am almost certain it reads vacuum, so that means it will most likely work. Thanks!
