Haltech E6K User Manual

There are three types of MAP sensors that can be used with E6K system. Which sensor is
required depends on the engine set-up.

1 Bar Sensor (Part No. 039 4070)

( -100kPa to 0 kPa)

Normally Aspirated Engines

2 Bar Sensor (Part No. 886 3189)

(-100kPa to 100kPa)

Turbo or Supercharged

Engines up to 100kPa boost

(15 psi , 1 atmosphere)

3 Bar Sensor (Part No. 749 3169)

(-100kPa to 200kPa)

Turbo or Supercharged

Engines up to 200kPa boost

(30 Psi, 2 atmospheres)

Note: Make sure you have the correct MAP sensor for your engine. The first

three digits of the part number are stamped on the sensor housing.

If the engine is running in Throttle Position mode, it can either use the internal

barometric pressure sensor located inside the E6K or use a 1 Bar MAP sensor

(left open to atmosphere) to measure the barometric pressure.

If the engine is running in Manifold Pressure Mode, at least one MAP sensor

must be used. The first MAP sensor must be connected to the MAP Input plug

on the wiring loom and provides an indication of the engine load. The second

MAP sensor is used for barometric compensation and is optional. The internal

barometric pressure sensor can be used inside the E6K or if desired an external

1 Bar MAP sensor (left open to atmosphere) can be fitted. It connects to the

Spare Input plug near the Main Connector.

Mounting

The MAP sensor is usually mounted high on the engine bay firewall or inner guard using two
screws and with the hose nipple facing outwards. Connect the sensor to the inlet manifold via
a short length of vacuum hose and fasten with either hose clamps or nylon cable ties. Connect
the sensor to the main wiring harness using the appropriate plug. (For 1 Bar sensors the plug
is green, for 2 and 3 Bar sensors the plug is orange). Avoid mounting the sensor below the
level of the fuel injectors, because fuel may collect in the vacuum hose and run down into the
sensor. The sensor assembly is weather-proof but it is good practice to mount the sensor in a
protected position away from moisture and heat.
