i search the website for a thread about installing APEXi - Power FC - Boost Controller Kit on a GTT but i couldn't find one that shows how to do it. does anyone have the boost controller kit installed in his car and would like to share it with pics?

  • 3 months later...

i think the guide is very helpful to the people that know what they are doing,, unfortunately i'm not one of those people and i know the best thing for me is to take it to a mechanic and let him do it, but really i like to do things myself and like to learn stuff and i'm willing to take a chance to do it myself with the help of you guys,,, anyways i have many question and hopefully someone can help me

i'll start with the GTT stock solenoid

post-55570-1258110771_thumb.jpg

from the picture above you can see there are two hoses coming out of the solenoid, one goes to a pipe connected to the intake air filter (marked with a yellow line), and the other hose which is marked with a red line is connected to a (T joint), then this joint is connected to the wastegate actuator (marked in green line) and the other hose which is marked with blue is connected to the intercooler pipe.,,, in the Apexi solenoid there are 2 lables one is marked COM and the other NO, and in the guide paul made it says:

COM line should goto wastegate actuator

NO line should goto intercooler piping

my questions are:

(1) what about the hose that is marked with yellow? what am i suppose to do with it?

(2) i’m wondering if i can just plug the apexi solenoid in the same plug that the stock solenoid is plugged in (marked in purple circle)?

that is a picture of the apexi solenoid, there is a hole marked NC where the red arrow is pointing

(3) what is that for? do i have to connect a hose to it?

i’m guessing that what is circled in red on the picture above is the stock map sensor that needs to be replaced with the map sensor for apexi and connect it to the same hose that is connected to the stock map sensor,

(4) am i correct??

(5) out of curiosity what is that circle orange thing that is in the middle?

i really apreciate your help and thank you guys in advance.. i know that i asked many questions so all your answers and suggestions are appreciated

go and read

everyone else is capable of doing it themselves, either read and learn more or get a mechanic to install it

most guys wont reply as they have been helping guys install boost controllers and t'vavles for the past few years

they get sick of replying with the same answers every time. there must be over 100+ how to install boost controller threads

there would be literally dozens on the powerfc boost kit and the AVCR kit (they use the same solenoid, wiring and vacuum tubes).

so you could search on those, you could read the PFC FAQ

you could read the numerous how to boost controller threads, you could look in the tutorial section

you could google boost control kit how to and so on

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
