    3 bar map calibration and getting proper boost readings from my car for logging

    I didn't calibrate or change offest on my 3 bar map. Heard I should have marked down the 1 bar map and then calibrated think with offset that 10.33? thing to get it right for my alititude?
    But don't the factory maps self calibrate?

    Also how to I get proper boost showing when logging. Which PID is the correct one or does it have to be tweaked.
    I seem to be getting silly numbers like 5.3psi at idle think it was.And way high on boost reading. My car is only going to 8psi max currently

    But there are all these pids making it confusing. also can I get it to show vacuum in inches hg as well as proper boost?

    Am I supposed to liscence my 3 bar so it reads 100kpa or so at idle? It reads like zero at idle car not running and think 35kpa running.

    How do I do this. So I don't have to calibrate it ?

    So reading old old thread it looks like two bar reads zero key on car not running. so assume 3 bar also reads zero in same situation. Only 1bar reads like 97kpa key on car not running.
    The car does seem to be reading pretty right for key on idling. I am getting near 40 and have a very high lsa cam in a 408 which mellows it even more.

    Also it was mentioned can check the bar and when I input that I see 14.77. NOt sure if the bar changes with the car running or not? Didn't log it running.

    So hopefully this is normal then and won't see anybody getting 100kpa with their two or three bar key on engine not running. Is this correct then?

    firstly set the units for the MAP value to kPa. The barometric pressure PID should read around 100kPa at key on if you are close to sea level. At idle on a stock cam you should see around 35-45kpa. If mid sized cam maybe 50-55 and a big cam 60+ kPa at idle.

    ideally you want to set the calibration based off an external vac/boost sensor or the actual manufacturer data.

    FYI, 8psi boost is around 155 kPa MAP at sea level.

    With my 3 bar tune and 3 bar map, I see 0 kpa with the key on and engine off. Once the engine starts, the sensor reads fine. It was mentioned in this thread of mine...http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23319

    Ok so yeah see 37.7 or so at idle and have a very mild cam for a 408.
    And see 14.77 or 101.86kpa on the bar sensor pid. And the map reads 0psi or 0kpa when key is on/ car not running. So guess everything is ok then???
    I was reading about custom pids so can do that to get a boost readout in psi thats accurate or you are still saying need to change my map offset manually.

    Yea, you can make a custom PID. Mine is :
    Boost
    PSI
    and Function is [SENS.30]-14.503773773020923

    I made a custom pid and should be able to get it accurate. I also punched up the map absolute pressure not the 3 bar and it does read 105kpa . So now pretty happy things are working like they should and should be able to do the proper boost once its dialed in like yours with a closer formula.

    haha, I copied the value from another thread on here. It probably only need 2 decimal places. I am a huge copy and paste kind of guy.

    So I did the pid for the boost. However my map reads 360kpa at wot. What do I need to do to recongifigure this. That can not be right could it?
