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

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
