Guys,

could anyone with the Apexi boost controller than is run with the PowerFC please post some pictures of how the solinoid is plumbed in. Cant get any more than .96 bar cboost which i think is the actuators controling that level of boost.

regards

You need to plumb it in wherer the original solenoid was, and then make sure the wiring is setup corrcectly.

The original wiring went to the original Nissan ECU, so the Power FC makes use of these already existing pins/wires so you need to have the solenoid tapped in to the original wires so it can use those channels to control the solenoid

So original wires need to be used from old control valve.

I thought the new control soliniod had its own wiring that was supplied with the kit, this loom was then pluged in with the MAP sensor into the power FC as shown in pauls DIY

the Map sensor pretty much was, detatch the original sensor, palce the new one in the same position,

Plug n play, easy, used the same boost feed hole too odff the plenum.

feeding the wires thru the firewall to reach the ECU was the hardest part as they don't leave much length to reach.

I put the new solenoid in the old solenoid postion (R33 GTST)....

The male plug you have going into the solenoid i chopped and soldered onto the old wires that fed the old solenoid...of course chopped to and soldered together to make a new fitting.

So now i can still unplug the solenoid if for some reason i need to.

(So i think there was a whole length of wire unused, long time ago now but it should still be boxed somewhere)

I've just taken a photo on my phone/camera which doesn't show it too well but it may help.

I'm at work again... so i can't access the home PC

Don't suppose you are in Sydney anywhere?

PM, coming too

LOL nope try Dubai which aint just next door either.

Looks like the only difference is that you used the old original wiring and i did as per the pic above.

Note looks like i might have had the Com and NO ports on the solinoid arse about, not sure what diff that will make but test tomorrow night.

OK, just dit the pics

You can see where the black electrical tape is, that's where i cut and soldered back to the original male/female plug.

The reason i kept the original plugs and not the new plugs (which you can do, just cut on the other side of the plugs) is that the original Nissan plugs are mage for the metal bracket so might aswell use that to keep it nice and secure.

Might be different for your GTR but see if it helps

Looks like NC gets the pressure feed from the intercooler piping....and...

COM continues the pressure feed to the wastgate.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
