Standard Rb20 Boost Solenoid

[Proximity Motorsport]

Hello,

Just in the process of installing a rb26dett power fc into my rb20det and i have purchased a boost control kit and it has to plug into the standard boost solenoid. After a bit of a look around the engine bay i have found this thing with JECS written on it. I looked at a non turbo rb20 and it didnt have it so its looking good so far. Am i correct, is this the solenoid im after?

Also wondering if anyone knows whether or not the rb26dett and rb20det have the same plug on the solenoid?

thanks

[r32woohoo]

I've got no idea what that thing is supposed to do but as far as i know, 32's dont have a standard solenoid.

Doesn't the PFC kit come with its own solenoid?

[Proximity Motorsport]

the pfc kit is meant to plug into the standard boost solenoid... has anyone with a rb20det and rb26dett pfc ever fitted the boost control kit? I havent got it yet its on its way, and computer is only half in, so i dont know which plugs come with it but im trying to sort it out befor i get it so its easy smoothe intallation

[r32woohoo]

The boost control kit should come with its own solenoid so thats probably what it means

[Proximity Motorsport]

yeah but i think i might have a problem, as fc and boost control kit is designed for a rb26 it should plug into standard 26 solenoid... but i wonthave one.. hmmm

any other thoughts?

I got no idea what that thing is (isnt not present on a BNR32), I'd suggest that a metal box with only two thick wires going to it, isn't your boost solenoid

The boost kits comes with a solenoid, similar looking to the ones used in the AVCR and E-Boost setups; u don't use the original.

R32s don't have a boost solenoid as stated above

You should get one with the PFC boost controller kit and reroute waste-gate lines to run off the solenoid provided

That way you can wire the BC kit off that

No idea what that metal box is but when someone finds out can you tell me too please

[Proximity Motorsport]

do rb26's have a standard solenoid?? Cause the pfc bc kit is made for gtr33 same as my ecu. So it probably wont come with a solenoid if a 26 has a standard solenoid.

also that silver box, befor thinking it was a boost solenoid i think it might be a resister pack for something

[GeeTR]

Resistor pack - thats what i orig kinda thought.. but they have a lot more then 2 wires going into it, plus need boost lines as well

How ever much it will help, uploaded a picture from my BNR32... years ago, please don't laugh about it looking like Kosovo.

Stocko boost solenoid is to the right of the relay box, with boost lines going to it. I think R33's are the same.

Edit:

do rb26's have a standard solenoid??

"Doh, posted b4 refresh'n - as above, I know R32 GTR's have em, i ignorantly, assumed all R32+ Skylines did ...

Regardless, outa my league but I'd say the boost solenoid comes with all PFC Boost kits... as this quote

"The high grade solenoid valve is the same one used in our Apexi Super AVC-R boost controller."

make sure if you get a standard gtr boost solinoid to take out the restrictor in the hose

[QWK32]

yeah that silver box is for the rb20det injectors.

[OFENSV]

as everyone keeps trying to tell you, the boost controler kit should come with its on solenoid as per this pic.

Really? shit eh, who woulda thought, my bad

This thing is a relay for the fuel pump if I'm not mistaken. It sends something like 9v to the fuel pump on idle, to minimize fuel consumption. U can tear it out. Nobody needs that.

Spot on its a resistor for the fuel pump.

Na its not, maybe your getting confused with the resistor pack the GTR run, they look similar but RB20 don't use them as the injectors are high impedance anyways

hmm so what happens if you rip it out, 0v at idle or full 12v at idle?

[abu]

While I'm here, does any PFC boost controller kit work with any PFC?

I have an AP Engineering RB20 PFC and I don't even want to thinking about looking for/finding a BC kit to suit that.. was hard enough finding the PFC it self

Eg: Would an R32 GTR BC kit work on my AP Engineering RB20 PFC?

[robots]

always 12v. I reckon. My car doesn't have one. And drives fine. And I still can get 10-11l/100km if I try hard )))

The car will start then stall if you have it unplugged, so i'd suggest 0 at idle. Technically you have a break in the circuit.

it is for the fuel pump, had to remove it when i got my ems put in, other wise it wouldnt turn off with the car lol!
