I pissed off some Gods because this was supposed to be plug and play and I have this issue: the damn 3-bar MAP mount hole isn't over far enough. How the hell did you guys sink a bolt in this?

 

When in doubt...

 

Self tapping screw and ur golden

 

Sure it doesn't bolt in 180* the other way? Just thinking on the fly, no experience.

 

tried it turned around and the connector hits........and it's the same that way. It went on, but I really HATE forcing things on. These 3bar sensors are crap. They weren't made for this car and they just plain show it in every way possible. Thanks, though, guys.

 

Both mine are the same. A little crooked but they seal fine.

 

thats how mine is also, turn it a little and itll go in.

 

Nature of the beastie, it'll work ok.

 

Read the instructions that came with your upgrade kit... assuming you bought the actual kit.

 

NOT UNTIL YOU SAID SOMETHING!





Okay, I'll admit it..........I'm horrible about reading instructions. It still sucks that they say this is made for the HHR, Sky, Solstice, and Cobalt, but it doesn't fit the Cobalt worth a shiznit.

 

you installing these on your civic?

 

Ya know, I added that car to my garage and it somehow ended up as my car listed under my username.

 

thats weak sauce. well ill tell you what you can do as a quick solution.
grab that sensor and rub the right side on the pavement. itll get rid of the plastic then you can pop off that metal ring. then grab a washer and place it on top and screw it down.
i had to do this with my map sensor on the lsj manifold on my supercharged car.
ghetto...but effective.

 

Haza!! I just ran into two guys with 'Balts named Justin and Todd last night. They said they knew you.

 

haha yea. i know them.
where'd you run into them at?
so i may be needed your assistance with boost leak checking in the future. i got some goodies on the way.

 

I may have run into them at the E85 pump, but I was just there getting normal gas. I swear. Let me know when you need help with the boost leak testing. I wanna see what you got up your sleeve.

 

haha just check my new thread. the cats out of the bag. i figured no use in hiding it. ill get that out there and just have more motivation to do it.

 

Its more fun that way. Suddenly people start doubting that you know what you are talking about based on the car that shows up under your name.

 

isnt that how css works?
