Hey all

Other day I got myself a power fc for my humble 32 gtr . All is well drives good everything works great . I bought a map censor and hook it in and it's not giving me a reading ? Ontop of that I hooked up the boost controller as it states in paulr33's manual ( thanks cheif ) and it just free boosts . Can someone please chuck up some pics of their enginebay so I can see what I did wrong ? Shows no boost pressure on the computer just lines . Thanks people In advance apreciate the help , better yet still if you live on the gc and will let me take a look at your car please txt or call me 0414 853 859 .

well its not reading your boost presure so it cant regualate your boost. Where have you hooked the map sensor up to?

Mines hooked up on the same line as my boost gauge and works fine... If you've tee-d it in pretty much anywhere it should get a reading so not sure whats going on, chuck up some pictures of your setup

BTW: you def turned the "Boost control kit" or whatever it is option on under settings or ETC, its in pauls manual, i havent played with mine for that long i forget where it is and what its called....

where did you hook the map sensor up to? what wire? what plug?

the powerfc is display --- as it cannot read the map sensor signal

this is why its probably running in unlimited boost mode too, as the powerfc kit isnt turned on or isnt working (you have to enable it as well)

It might be a bit of a drive, but if you come to my workshop in Brisbane, I am sure we can suss it out for you.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
