Hey all,

Yes, I've searched and found this:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...18&hl=BCK*&st=0

and this

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=8&t=92133&st=0

But I'm not sure if I've done it right. I'm ok with the plumbing side, but it's the wiring I'm not sure of.

Included below is a dodgy diagram of how it's wired up now. Also some excerpts from the BCK manual that came with the kit (in Japanese) and an old manual for the AVCR from the US Apexi site.

Car: R34 GT-T (RB25DET NEO)

BCK model no.: 415-A013

Both the PFC and BCK are only a month or two old.

Again I had the problem of having nowhere for the two-pin spade-type connector coming from the solenoid to go. :D

Has this been done this right? Or totally wrong? The car is running ok but doesn't seem to be holding consistent boost (set to 1.0kg/cm2, duty cycle 64). Please help. Thanks. :D

This guide should tell you all you need to know about the boost kit and how it connects up. Please have a read and let us know what actual problem you are having with it, as its most likely already covered in the FAQ

http://members.dodo.com.au/paul/docs/power...powerfc-faq.htm

your wiring harness that goes into the powerfc should have 5 wires and not 3. If you have the 3 pin plug and 3 wire plug that runs into the powerfc on the side (next to hand controller port) then you have the wrong boost kit. The ER34 uses the 5 pin boost kit

:O

I have part no 415-A013... which suits the ER34... which has 3 wires coming from the MAP sensor and 2 spare pins on the plug which goes into the PFC.

I printed out that FAQ and took it to the workshop with me at the time of the install and it isn't entirely revealing...

The pressure sensor has the main wiring harness directly attached to itself, one end plugs into the 5 pin port on the PowerFC. The solenoid piggybacks off the Pressure Sensor wiring harness which leads to the PowerFC connector port. The wiring is shown below.

MAP Sensor

Red = Positive

Black = Negative (earth)

Green = Signal

Solenoid

Pink = Positive

Black = Negative

When the solenoid wiring meets with the Map Sensor harness the colours for the Soneoid change as follows;

Pink = Red

Black = Brown

I guess what I don't get is HOW the solenoid wiring is supposed to meet the MAP sensor harness, when the plug that comes on the end of the solenoid wiring doesn't directly plug into anything in an ER34 engine bay.

Now I'm confused... :O

Anyway we did a workaround tonight (see attached).

Not what it says in the FAQ (kinda) but now seems to be working... shame about the whole raining thing and therefore no traction in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th.... :O

That is correct, the BKC solenoid connects to the standard wiring harness in place of the standard boost control solenoid.

:( cheers :D

The r33 boost kit connects the pfc boost solenoid to the standard boost control solenoid wires in the engine bay.

I was unaware the r34 had the same or a similar boost solneoid by factory.

Usually if the boost kit has 5 pin with 5 wires then the boost solenoid and map sensor run to the ecu via that single plug into the boost controller kit port and the powerfc turns the solenoid on/off via the 5 pin plug.

I find it odd that you have the 5 pin plug and wires and the solenoid runs to the standard factory wires in the engine bay. so there are 2 wires on the loom unused then ?

The guide was updated about a week ago to reflect the new stuff i had found on the boost control kit after i tried with NateR31 to get his working on his r33 and the printout you've got was the original stuff I had which was a bit brief and didnt explain a great deal

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
