Mystery Box

What’s the box that’s circled in blue in the picture. I know the bigger box in front of it is the ICM for fuel pump, AC clutch, fans, etc. but what is this thing? It had a piece of tubing that was connected to a nipple on the IHI inlet hose. Thanks!

BARO..... barometric pressure sensor. Outputs a variable frequency square wave. Frequency depends on ambient air pressure. 159 Hz at 1 standard atmosphere, 88 Hz at zero pressure. PCM uses this output to adjust A/F ratio, timing, etc.. The nipple should be open to the atmosphere and not connected to anything!!!!

ALSO.... the orange wire with the lug on it is the O2 ground and should be connected to a bolt on the turbo inlet. With this wire not grounded, the PCM wont get the correct O2 senor voltage reading.

Awesome; thank you! And I’m assuming that you mean the nipple on BARO should be open to atmosphere? The tubing that’s currently attached that ran to a nipple on the turbo inlet tube did look aftermarket. I should mention that I will running a PimpX with this new turbo setup. I’ll ask stinger as well but does anyone know if the pimpx uses the BARO?

Also, is the BARO the same as the absolute manifold pressure sensor?

PIMP is a speed density system, and uses its own MAP sensor that is built into the PIMP. .

Yes, Ford MAP and BARO are electrically nearly identical.
