AEM 6.5 BAR / 100 PSIA MAP Sensor Kit – Brass | Flying Lead | Universal High-Boost Forced Induction

The AEM 6.5 BAR (100 PSIA) Brass MAP Sensor Kit is a universal manifold absolute pressure sensor designed for use with AEM engine management systems, data loggers, boost controllers, and compatible third-party ECUs. With a measurement range of 6.5 bar absolute (100 PSIA), this sensor covers boost pressures up to approximately 5.5 bar (80 PSI) gauge — suitable for high-boost turbo and supercharger applications where standard 3-bar or 4-bar sensors reach their limits. The flying lead (bare wire pigtail) output allows direct integration into custom wiring harnesses and AEM systems without requiring a specific connector.

Brass vs. Stainless Steel – Why It Matters

AEM offers this sensor in both brass and stainless steel variants. The choice of sensor body material affects measurement accuracy and corrosion resistance:

• Brass (this sensor): Brass sensor bodies provide excellent measurement accuracy across the full pressure range and are well-suited for most forced induction applications using standard pump fuel, E85, or methanol injection where the sensor is not exposed to highly corrosive media. Brass offers a good balance of accuracy and durability for the majority of performance street and track applications
• Stainless Steel: Stainless steel sensor bodies offer superior corrosion resistance for applications where the sensor may be exposed to corrosive media — such as nitrous oxide, certain fuel additives, or aggressive chemical environments. Stainless is the preferred choice when corrosion resistance is the priority over marginal accuracy differences

Key Features

• 6.5 BAR / 100 PSIA Range – High-Boost Applications: 6.5 bar absolute pressure range covers boost pressures up to approximately 5.5 bar (80 PSI) gauge — well beyond the range of standard 3-bar or 4-bar MAP sensors. Suitable for high-boost turbo builds, compound turbo setups, and supercharged applications requiring accurate pressure measurement at elevated boost levels
• Brass Sensor Body: Precision brass sensor body for accurate pressure measurement across the full 6.5 bar range — suitable for most forced induction applications on pump fuel, E85, and methanol injection
• Flying Lead Output – Custom Integration: Flying lead (bare wire pigtail) output allows direct integration into AEM EMS wiring harnesses, data loggers, boost controllers, and custom wiring without requiring a specific mating connector. Ideal for custom builds and professional installations where wiring is routed and terminated to specification
• Universal Fitment: Universal sensor compatible with AEM engine management systems, AEM data loggers, AEM boost controllers, and compatible third-party ECUs and data acquisition systems that accept a standard MAP sensor signal. Verify signal compatibility with your specific ECU or data logger before ordering
• AEM Quality: Manufactured by AEM — a respected performance electronics brand known for engine management systems, sensors, and data acquisition equipment for the performance aftermarket

Note: Verify signal output compatibility with your specific ECU, data logger, or boost controller before ordering — MAP sensor signal types vary. Flying lead output requires custom wiring termination. For applications involving corrosive media (nitrous oxide, aggressive fuel additives), consider the stainless steel variant. Professional installation recommended for engine management and sensor wiring.
