Power Fc Ap Engineering - Boost Controlling Kit

[Drift Freak]

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???

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

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

Thanks heaps mate, much appreciated
