    Terminator-X MAP to engine Map Sensor

    Folks,

    Throwing out a call for help. I am pretty miserable at ordering the right part. I have a terminator x harness which has a male green three pin connector. I also have a map sensor on my engine which has a keyed male black three pin connector. I need a female convertor (female for both ends). Any chance anyone knows where I can find this part? Pics:

    Help appreciated!

    I'd buy the male end that connects to the MAP sensor on your engine, cut off the Terminator X plug, and solder the new male one on. That assumes you know the part number of that MAP sensor, but it's likely printed on it. Or call Holley tech support.

    Any idea what that part is?

    I'm happy to do some Googling for you if you can tell me the part number of your MAP sensor. It's likely printed on the side of it. If you call Holley tech support and ask them if they have an adaptor, they're probably going to ask you for your MAP sensor part number, anyway.

    Ah. I can do that. Just didn’t know where to start. I’ve never even seen a map sensor before. Will look it up. Thanks!

    Terminator X has an internal map sensor. You don't need to connect the external one unless you are running boost. Holley sells adapters also if you need to run the external.

    Far Out! Even better. Thanks for this gents. I’m entering an area where I literally know nothing and as such I appreciate the advice and total lack of snark. I’m learning and I am grateful to this community.

    Thanks again!

    Totally get it. I was a little intimidated by my ProFlo4 and ignition box installation, but the good peeps here on the forum helped me through it.

    Be sure you select internal MAP in the setup. It's a 1 bar sensor that connects with the blue tubing coming out of the Terminator X computer.

    Adapters (you should have received these with the Terminator X - check your box):

    Yes, I have these adapters. I assume just a bit of hose to get to inglese installed hose barb and then one of the adapters to the ecu.


    Since you are on the thread, I didn’t realize that Jim’s stuff came with a fuel regulator. I searched your thread and I see that you pulled it off and went with the aeromotive?

    Also, I don’t appear to have a fuel pressure sensor on the stack. Did you have one? If not where did you plug in the fuel pressure wire for the terminator x?

    Also, did you have to adapt the throttle position sensor or was there an adapter that I should look at?

    One last question, there is only one O2 sensor but we have dual side pipes. How did you handle that?

    Thanks! As an aside, I feel like I am getting close to first start. Wish you were still in Colorado so I could invite you over to see the engine you helped me build?

    Hey Dan! Your engine looks amazing. I ended up using the Holley regulator that Jim provided because it just fit better. I kept the Aeromotive regulator and may swap it if the Holley one fails down the road. I don't have a fuel pressure sensor, and it isn't needed. There are a handful of sensor connectors in the harness that I didn't use. Jim provided new connectors for a few sensors to adapt the harness to what he supplies, but depending on which harness you received, you may not need to swap them all. Check before you start cutting things! One O2 sensor is all that my Terminator came with and I installed it on the passenger side header and capped the driver side header bung. I'm using the FFR headers that have bungs on each side.
