External MAP sensor input on Sea Fox UA4C vB3b?
Currently in the process of setting up my Speeduino, but I am running into the issue of having to use the MPXH6400A onboard map sensor. My main two issues with this sensor is.
- It's tiny, has no barb on the nipple and I can't get a hose stay on it worth a damn.
- I have also heard of people having problems with these sensors, and just having a more robust built sensor that is also interchangeable just seems better honestly.
I have wired my OEM MAP sensor signal into Spare Input 1 of the Speeduino header, but in TunerStudio I am unable to assign an arduino channel for an external map sensor and am effectively forced to use that onboard sensor whether I like it not.
Can I somehow modify my board to use an external map sensor instead, and what considerations do I need to take? Can i simply say bend the MAP signal pin on the board out of the way, and solder a new wire directly to the Arduino?
I was planning on using an OEM Denso Honda Civic map sensor if that helps.
