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

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

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

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

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 :P

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."

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.

yeah that silver box is for the rb20det injectors.

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?

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?

:laugh:

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.

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
