Hey guys,

In the globebox, right next to the boost controller there are 3 plugs, two of them are connected and the 3rd disconnected, I *think* its for the Apexi pen turbo timer but I'm not 100% sure.

Unfortunately its not connected at the moment, someone ripped it out at some point :(

Does anyone know where I can get a connector for it like the pictures attached?

Anywhere that does postage or in the South Eastern suburbs would be great :D

Regards,

Gareth

Hi,

Ok sure but whats the part called? Does it have a name that I can look for on the website?

I should add that the turbo-timer came installed with the car (from my knowledge), its just that at some point between auction and Australia it got removed and I don't know how/why.

harness for apexi pen turbo timer

Hmm, I looked at the apexi pen turbo timer harness and I thought the connectors look different.

just change the male and female ends of it....jaycar or dick smith have matching plugs

Now that sounds like a good answer, I'll drop by dick smith and ask them for a plug that looks like that :P

Now I just have to get the wiring right with the plug and its all good.

DickSmith and Jaycar didn't have an exact match for the plug, neither did the place I got sent to in Carnegie (radioparts?)

Anyway, I've got a 2 sided 4 pin connector so my new idea is to remove the old connector and replace it with an Australian standard connector.

Only thing I'm confused on is the end of the Apexi turbo timer has 5 wires as you can see in the second picture, so how do I wire the turbo timer to the new connector?

I looked at the Apexi wiring diagrams but I don't think thats what I'm looking for, the "control unit" (the timer) has 5 wires that are not connected to any plug, I need to wire that to something but the only thing in the glovebox is a 4pin plug which I think is for the timer.

Regards,

Gareth

And I did appreciate your first attempt to help me.

I understand this as replace the plug in pictures 1 & 2 with a new plug that can be bought from Jaycar or Dick Smiths. Wire the existing 4 wires that are going into the plug into 4 slots in the new plug (female end?).

The wire your turbo timer directly to this new plug (male end?) and its all good.

Well at least that is what I want to do.

The part of your post I find confusing if you mention a "56276BL", a 6 way connector? I've bought a 56274BL, a 4 way connector because one end only has 4 wires...

My issue is the Apexi turbo timer, currently has 5 wires on the end of it, its not connected to anything and hasn't been since I got the car. And the other plug that it *looks* like it will connect to has 4 wires.

The problem I have is, how do I connect these 5 bare wires to the plug in my glovebox. Or am I looking at the wrong plug for this?

Some of these plugs in the glovebox run too a boost controller as well so I think this is the correct plug that I'm looking at, I'm not 100% sure.

Does that make more sense?

I'm better at the IT side of things unfortunately (software) >_<

P.S. I'll send my washing over soon lol

ok so you could answer your own question by this.....your trying to connect a device that has 5 wires right?Well IF the device was connected to the plug with 4 wires.....that tells me the person didnt do a very good job on fitting it.He has left one wire off......why?????Trace those wires and use what you need.....Dont assume....asumption is the mother of all f**k ups.......red wire------>12v hot at all times Blue wire -----> IG output (12v ign on) Green wire----> IG output (12v acc) Gray wire----> hand brake

Black wire ----->Earth White wire -----> O2 sensor

the device has 5 wires....thats why i suggested the 6 way connector.

i wont wish you any luck....its as easy and hair pie >_<

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
