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

    • 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?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
