Hardway Cummins 10 Bar Map Sensor By Rife
Hardway Performance
SKU: HW10B67
cummins 10 bar map sensor...
Billet aluminum construction, anodized gloss black and ready to install in place of the stock MAP sensor except this one has a RIFE 10BAR MAP transducer and a RIFE IAT thermistor tucked inside!
These are intended for competition or high boost applications where precise measurement of inlet manifold pressure (boost) and inlet manifold temperature are critical. Custom tuning required, Hardway tuning customers get free MAP sensor update with purchase of sensor.
Do I need the 10 bar map?
The factory MAP sensor works well on stock or lightly modified trucks—but it has limits. Once boost levels, airflow, or overall performance demands exceed what the stock sensor can accurately measure, the data becomes compressed and unreliable. That’s where a 10BAR MAP sensor comes in.
A 10BAR MAP sensor is designed to accurately read much higher boost pressures than the factory sensor, giving your tuner clean, precise data across the entire operating range. This is critical for proper fueling, timing, and boost control when pushing higher power levels.
You should consider upgrading to a 10BAR MAP sensor if:
- You’re running higher-than-stock boost
- You have compound turbos or an aggressive single turbo setup
- Your current MAP sensor is pegged or maxed out
- You want accurate data logging and consistent tuning at higher power levels
- You’re building toward future power upgrades and want headroom
If your stock MAP sensor is no longer doing the job—or you’re planning to push beyond its limits—the 10BAR MAP sensor ensures your calibration has the resolution and accuracy it needs to perform safely and consistently.
Not sure if you need one yet? We’re happy to help determine if it makes sense for your setup.
do I need to update my tuning?
Yes. Because this sensor uses a different pressure range than the factory MAP sensor, your calibration must be updated to ensure accurate readings and proper engine operation. Running the sensor without the correct scaling can lead to incorrect data, reduced performance, or drivability issues.
The good news? We’ve got you covered.
Existing Hardway Performance tuning customers receive the calibration rewrite at no additional cost. If your truck is already tuned by Hardway Performance, we’ll update your file to properly support the 10BAR MAP sensor—calibration rewrite fee waived.
How do I install it?
This sensor is a direct replacement for the factory MAP sensor, meaning no wiring changes, adapters, or custom fabrication required. If you can remove the stock sensor, you can install this one—easy win.
A deep Torx T15 is required for removal and installation.
Sensor location by engine:
- 6.7 Cummins: The MAP sensor is located on the backside of the intake horn.
- 5.9 Cummins: The MAP sensor is located in the intake plenum, right next to the fuel rail, on the driver side of the engine bay.
⚠️ Important note:
There is a very similar-looking sensor with the same connector located on the passenger side of the engine, mounted in the airbox tube leading to the turbo inlet. This is the barometric pressure sensor—not the MAP sensor. Do not remove or replace that sensor.
Once installed, the sensor plugs in just like stock and is ready for calibration and tuning.
