>>I don't think the EGR actually represents a large volume compared to
the volume of air inducted into the manifold. Few percent maybe. I
don't think this is enough to alter manifold pressure significantly.<<
EGR rates are more that just a few percent, maybe as high as 30% at
some speed-load points. In any case, it's enough to give you a 3-4%
fuel consumption advantage over an LA4 cycle.
>>Most MAP sensors are really differential pressure sensors with one
port open to atmosphere.<<
This I can't quite believe, (since the A in MAP is 'Absolute'). If
you know the absolute manifold pressure, why do you need altitude
compensation? Any ideas?
