SD Quick Setup Guide

We get asked fairly often “what do I need to run SD and how much does it cost”. The full answer is pretty complicated because there are a number of different sensor options and input configurations available to you to choose from. This page doesn't cover all that. The purpose of this page is to give you a quick start guide to the “typical” setup with ECMLink.

If you want a FULL explanation of how to setup speed density with ECMLink, see our SD Setup Page.

Sensors and Cables

The first thing you'll need are the MAP and IAT sensors. The most common choice is our Generic GM-style SD Bundle.

The typical MAP sensor install has it mounted on the firewall and then connected directly to a dedicated port on the intake manifold using a short (6-8 inches) piece of vacuum hose. Do not use a throttle body port for this!

The typical IAT install involves welding a bung to the throttle body elbow. You'll need to indicate whether the material is aluminum or stainless steel when you order the SD Bundle.
