Title: Cheap GM 3 Bar opinions needed!
Post by: ApexSilver06MR on December 27, 2009, 05:31:55 AM
supposed to be a equivalent to a gm 3bar.  same one that im rocking that I got from cbustuner on here... 


just wondering if anyone has used one before.  Im currently using this.  just wanted some opinions

$$36 seems like a smoking deal to me...

Not to thread jack, but that website has some SICK gauges, Im def going to them for map/boost/water temp, should be under $200 all in for everything, sick

But this boost gauge would be SICK SICK SICK, and its cheap

Motorola sensors are better.  These only read down to 40kpa which is 18.1x inHG.  Most people idle around 20 to 22 so your idle resolution will be pretty garbage.  Motorola sensors read down to 20kpa which is 23-24inHG.

You should compare service grade mechanical gauges to various MAP sensors sometime.

I've used several of their gauges.  I've used them for EGT and water temp. Compatible with many types of temperature sensors too.   They are great, especially for the price.  Easy mounting too.

Yeah, but I never will.  So I'd go by the data sheets to make my decisions.  If I have all the money in the world, I'd get the awesome Kalvico sensors which read the full pressure scale (0-Xbar) or I'd stick with the cheap, but fragile, Motorola sensors after that.

I like those auberins map sensors just fine, but then again I really don't deal with vacuum ever. I just wish they had a 7bar for that kind of money.

Huh?  Your car doesn't idle?

Both my car and truck idle quite well, but the lack of throttle plate really doesn't let much vacuum form.

Cool.  Read a GM 3 bar datasheet sometime.

I have.  Compared to the Motorola 3bar, it's rubbish.
