Power fc says for stock intake car to drill holes and connect them between throotles and head! One map sensor on 3rd and one on 4th cyllinder.

So maybe you are wrong to connect them between intercooler and throotle body!

Bellow you can see my engine. If I connect the map sensors at the end of the intake at the point that I connect also fpr,avcr,boost gauge will be ok?

Or I must connect them exactly after the throotle body like if when we have 6throotle?

Or I must connect them at the 3rd and 4th cyllinder as power fc says?

I am very confused :P

I don't want to connect them wrong :D:)

yes pau is wrong. they must get their signal AFTER the throttle. you can stil do them the same as the PFC manual states (tap into the 3rd and 4th intake runner) or you can tap two holes and fit the nipples on the top of the plenum, or there may already be some points you can use on that plenum ( I can see some MAP take offs near the back of the plenum/surge tank).

the reason they must be after the throttle is they need to be reading both boost and vacuum. if you put it between the intercooler and before the throttle it wont get a proper vacuum reading when the throttle is shut.

Any explain why power fc has two map sensors?

As you tell me I can connect them everywhere in my plenum... and I will connect them as you tell me at the end of the plenum where I have connect map sensor from avc-r,fpr, sevro, boost gauge.

So as I connect both there they will have both exactly the same value.

So where is the point to have two map sensor the power fc?

the reason they have two maps sensors is they are desinged to work with the standard plenum/6 throttle set-up. so they can take 2 readings from 2 different runners. and average out the two, like they do with the standard Airflow meters. since you now have an aftermarket plenum and single throttle it's a different story. yes you could just use 1 MAP sensor, if you had an ECU that was designed to run one. but since you've bought the PFC that is designed to run with the 2 sensors just run with those two. try it from the vacuum ports at the back but just make sure you get decent readings from there (should do), otherwise just fit them as per normal, in runner 3 and 4.

It runs 2 map sensors because ITB cars vacuum per runner after throttle plate are never quite the same no matter how well ballanced they are, this way it takes an average between the two...

Fit both sensors off 2 nipples near the center of the manifold, if your using a greddy manifold put it where the the rest of the nipples are, remember to keep the map hoses as short as possible.

Put the IAT sensor behind the throttle towards runner one like you see the GTR's doing it, if you want pictures of how to do it email me.

    • That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.
    • Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)
    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
