Hey guys....

I just got the boost controller kit for the apexi and went to install it but came to the solenoid cable and got a little stuck.....

Plugs in fine on the solenoid end but when it comes to the other end dont have much of an idea.. it doesnt fit the original plug and not sure what to do.

Do I have the wrong wire?

here is a pic of the wire.

Oh car is R33 GTST

the boost control kit plug, is it the 3 pin or 5 pin kit?

what car do you have?

if its the 5 pin kit

then the solenoid power and ground run to the loom

and the 3 wires for map sensor run off the boost kit loom

if its the 3 pin kit

then the solenoid power and ground run off the STOCK car loom

and the 3 wires for the map sensor run off the boost kit loom

look at your ecu's wiring diagram to find what wire is wastegate control, usually wire #25. run this to the solenoid and run the other to power from somewhere (im pretty sure).

the powerfc faq shows u how to connect up both

it a 3 wire one....

right so the 3 wires for the map sensor

so you use the factory boost control wires to run the solenoid

just chop off the plug and match the wires

so im guessing that the black wire is positive and white is positive on the car?

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
