Can someone tell me how does the overboost protection on a pfc equipped with a boost control kit works?

I know it will do some sort of saftey cut when boost goes over target by 0.25kg/cm2, but does it just drop back boost by varing the duty cycle of the solenoid itself or does it do an internal fuel or ign cut?

I don't know for sure, but the whole point of such protection is to protect against a loss of boost control. So using the boost control gear that is not working (and hence allowed the overboost) is not smart. Therefore I would expect it to be an ignition cut, like the original ECU.

Wonder if this is a myth, I played around with my old boost kit on the PowerFC and the boost spike like +0.5 bar when I played around with the duty cycles, no cut there at all.

I had the boost set at 1 bar, with a pretty high duty cycle of around 60. In 2nd gear, the boost spike to like 1.45 bar and nothing :)

Definately works but its often glitchy some of the supra (map based) pfc's false cut even if there is no pfc boost control kit fitted... you need to input 2.0bar on the boost settings tabs.

No myth John.

You were going the wrong way if you wanted to test it out.

Set your boost way low, say 0.4 bar then give it a try.

The turbo will easily/quickly boost over approx 0.7 bar and you'll then experience the cut.

(Cut occurs if actual boost exceeds set boost by >0.25kg/cm3)

At normal boost settings, you'll rarely see the cut.

Yea...tested it and confirmed its a HARD fuel cut at 0.25kg/cm2 over the set target boost.

Can someone tell me if the the 2 wire harness for the boost control solenoid comes off the main engine harness(gtr) or if it comes off the wiring some where else in the engine bay??....I

factory boost solenoid wiring.

hard fuel cut from memory, on the last supra i tested it on.

Trent...is this something new? When my car was tuned you said all you could do was set the maps so that if it goes into the dangerzone it would overfuel and pull all timing out...

were you using the pfc boost controller? i thought you had an avcr?

im using PFC boost kit and have been for a while

very happy with it and works well

set and forget

and has bonus of simplistic safety cut instaed of unlimited boost

also when you use the boost kit by default boost correction is enabled in the powerfc

from memory it has boost correction for airtemp (GTR only) and low water temp (from memory it runs less boost on cold water)

In the gtst it is cut and shut to the stock harness for the stock boost solenoid. Not sure on a GTR but. It is in Paul's PFC FAQ somewhere

Yes gtr is the same

factory boost solenoid wiring.

Cant find it :D Its a rb26 ...but not in a gtr

I dont think its on the main enigine harness tho, ie. the one that goes into the plastic rail along the intake side cam cover, but it has to link back to the ecu somehow obviously to get control on the solenoid

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
