PSI VAC BOOST

Tuning Toolkit

Edit tunes, log the car and read datalogs, plus fuel, injector and boost calculators. Your logs and ROMs stay on your device.

MAP Scaling

Pick a sensor, build scaling from your own voltage and pressure points, then true it up against a key-on engine-off reading. Every result comes out as multiplier and offset in psi and bar.

Pressure (absolute) = Volts × Multiplier + Offset

Voltage / pressure points

Enter two or more points from a datasheet or a bench test with a gauge. Two points give an exact line. Three or more get a best-fit line with the error shown per point.

True it to atmosphere

Key on, engine off, the manifold sits at barometric pressure. Log the absolute MAP parameter (a "relative" parameter subtracts the baro sensor and will read near 0 no matter what). This keeps the multiplier and shifts the offset so the reading lands on true baro.

Working scaling in solid, the selected preset dashed for comparison. The shaded band is the usual 0.5–4.5 V working range.

Sign conventions differ between tools. Everything here is absolute with the offset added. If your editor shows a relative offset, subtract 14.696 psi (1.01325 bar). If it subtracts the offset, flip its sign.
