Could anyone tell me how to connect my 3bar map sensor to my civic.  I have a 97 civic with an ls/vtec turbod.  Ive been researching a lot and cant seem to find any nice detailed instructions to help me out.  Any help would be appreciated and pics would help if you have any.  THX.

The 3 bar reads differently than the OEM, so have it put on at the dyno when you get re-tuned.

Can't be answered without knowing your electronics.

I dont know exactly what kind of electronics but i have the stock harness and map sensor on my 97 civic ex but i have swapped in a ls/vtec.  what other kind of info would be needed.  Thanks for replying i was thinking about letting joe hook it up for me when i go and get tuned.

Let Joe do it, it wont run correctly if you do it beforehand as they read differently.
Get that shit tuned! I wanna see some good numbers finally!
Did you get all the issues worked out with Turbo Elements?

Like how you make it sound like it multiple issues josh, but I wouldn't except anything less.  Shocked

And how bout you let me worry about my business.

And to keep this on topic there is a way to do this and have it run perfect till it is tuned, and it will save you money doing it yourself instead of having to have joe do it for you.

Is this tim hey if you have a way i can do it myself I would be more than willing to do it myself pretty sure its not rocket science and hey josh i happened to blow my head gasket some how i used a cheap head gasket so i am blaming it on that but i bought a genuine honda one this time so we will see if that works i am also gonna check to see if the head is not warped or something  hey tim if you get a chance hit me up on my cell if you still have my number if not pm me
