Hi guys, I received my Power FC AP Engineering computer for my RB20 DET on friday and went straight to the shed to hook it up. Thats all good, it works perfectly with my hand controller showing all the stats. Thats not the prob, I also purchased the optional boost controller kit but I'm having troulble working out where the MAP sensor wire goes (the one with a horizontal and vertical tabs in the connector) sorry guys no pics just yet but hopefully soon. Does this get cut and spliced into the map sensor harness like in paulr33's Power FC FAQ, coz mines only got a 3 pin map sensor connector so i take it i splice the solenoid wires onto the MAP sensor harness??? Any help would be nice guys. Also my car was originally just a GTS so i don't have a factory boost gauge just a aftermarket one with a copper air line any ideas how to hook up the MAP sensor air line??? :ninja:

Cheers guys

if your boost kit has the 3 pin plug and socket

then the 3 wires are for the map sensnor

power, ground,. signal

the 2 wires for the solenoid are run off the factory harness

Hey paul, I've got a printout of the pinouts for an RB20 DET and can't work out where they should go???? Are they just power and ground(earth) from the solenoid? Your photos show you've spliced the solenoid into the MAP sensor plug, do you know if the RB20DET is the same? Sorry if the questions seem stupid, still learning :ninja:

from the top

3 pin boost kit plug

power - map sensor

ground - map sensor

signal - map sensor

2 wires from car loom

power - any 12v power im pretty sure

ground - look for wasteground solenoid control

basically

the map sensor plugs into the FC

and the solenoid runs of the factory harness

on the stock loom is wastegate control

which is power and ground,

ground is switched by the ecu to control boost

you just need to match these up and it works

I'm following you with the setup but my pinout doesn't show a wastegate control pin, should i just get a workshop that tunes the power fc to install the boost kit controller???(Keeping in mind my R32 was originally just a GTS) What do you think paul

ok on the gtst loom there is wastegate control

look in the powerfc faq cubes

did an animated gif between differeneces of rb20 and rb25 wiring loom

it shows the wastegate control wires

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
