I have R33 S2 GTST with Vipec ECU which i believe is the same as a Link G4.

I have a Innovate LC2 wideband with gauge and need to know where the Brown wire goes.

- i read it goes to AN Volt input (any free ones) but which one ???

There is ECU Expansion 2 - 5V "An Volt 2" but you need the XS Vipec Loom , is there any other wire that can be used?

I also have a MAC/Vipec 3 port Boost solenoid that has 2 wires (one for 12V switched) and one for DPO / PWM Output... Where is to be wired to ?

Says take the wire to Aux X - where is the AUS X? which spare wire can be used as "X"...

Thanks everyone...

In theory you can use the wires for the stock boost solenoid for the Mac valve but in fact (and I didn't install my Link) I have the optional extra loom for my boost, air temp meter and GM MAP sensor.

If you go to the Link website

http://www.linkecu.com/

you will find pinouts for your ecu although if you didn't install it you may not know which inputs/outputs have been used and which are free.

The boost solenoid can be hooked into the standard wiring for the boost solenoid. It's not polarity sensitive so can be hooked up either way.

The wideband can be hooked into the standard signal wire for the stock narrowband sensor. I hooked mine up at the ECU plug.

If you download the Vipec tuning software (VTS I think it's called) and go into the help section there is quite a bit of wiring information.

ok i should mention it has a custom GTX35R turbo so the entire stock plenum, air intake, actuator, boost solenoid is not there anymore at all.

Looking at page 21 you see what the outputs are for

http://www.vi-pec.com/techdata/ecu-manuals-v-series/vi-pec-nissangts-gtr-plugin.pdf#

then page 23 you can see the pin layout of ecu.

So i use AN Volt 2 for wideband (but i need the XS connector for get to it as its a expansion plug not an ecu wire as such)

but the boost solenoid. What Aux is free? i have none used on the ecu, nothing has been spliced in or connected at all.

but all wires are used...

Page 12.

The expansion cable that you can buy and plug into the inside of the ecu has;

Gnd = Sensor Ground Only
+5V Out = Low Current +5V Supply
DI5 = Digital Input
DI6 = Digital Input
An Volt 8 = Analog 0-5V input (wideband) or
An Volt 2 = Analog 0-5V input (wideband)
An Temp 3 = Temperature sensor input
An Temp 4 = Temperature sensor input
but where does boost go???
Thanks

Look in the Vipec tuning software help file! I just told you this

It tells you AUX 1 = AC clutch

And so on. So seen as you don't need the stock o2 sensor you use the signal for it to hook your wideband analog voltage into

The boost solenoid is the same. The R33's have an electronic boost control valve standard to go from 5 psi to 7 psi at whatever RPM. So use those 2 wires into your MAC valve. Doesnt matter which way around the wires are as the MAC valve is not polarity sensitive.

Pretty much everything I said in the last post

I have the XS connector but it's only hooked up to my external MAP sensor, a switch in the cab and intake air temp sensor.

Sorry i miss understood. Thanks for your help, i dont have the computer connector cable so have not got the software. I will download it now and see if it will allow me to open it up without connecting to ecu.

the page 21 in manual says Aux 1 is VTC solenoid which is wire 106.

The stock 02 sensor you say for the wideband, is called "Oxygen Signal Front" which is An volt 6 and wire 29 <--- so i connect the brown wire from Innovate to this then to confirm ?

The boost solenoid i dont know where the electronic boost control valve is as it was removed, looking at page 21 and 23 is it "WG solenoid" Aux 8 - wire 25 <--- one of the MAC wires goes to this ?

Thanks again and sorry to triple answer, just want to splice into correct wire !

There should be a 2 pin plug somewhere near the AFM plug. Pretty sure it's in the same loom as the AFM plug.

If I had my wiring diagram I could confirm and if you had the cable you could test it. If you can get a hold of the cable it would be great

My Link G4 came with the USB cable so I figured the VIPEC would too

It has a serial connector requiring and $80 cable to usb or something :/

According to this

http://www.paulr33.com/diagrams/r33-rb25-wiring.jpg

(here is a larger more clearer image http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/102105-rb25-miss-at-idle-a-little-through-the-rev-band/)

is it is indeed pin 25 so that goes to the MAC boost solenoid wire.

I asked godzillamotorsports and they suggested getting the XS expansion cable to do the wideband rather than the o2 sensor lead. not sure why but ok.

And any suggestions on wastegate plumbing ?

Two waste gate side ports T'eed' together and then another T joins the plenum port (greddy) to the wastegates but they vent to atmosphere, the boost solenoid is just a T.. thats how i brought it... thus me wanting a MAC solenoid. Do i need top ports to be installed for the wastegate and how should they all go into the MAC solenoid?

Thanks so much !!

How much boost are you trying to run? If the wastegate springs are close to the desired boost level you will be fine just controlling the lower port to open the gate. If you want to hold twice what the spring is rated to, you will need to direct boost to the top port, to help hold the gate shut as the exhaust manifold pressure rises.

I use a 5 port MAC to control both ports directly, you can also use 4 port MAC valves in the same way. If you want to use the 3 port MAC you won't be able to bleed the boost off one port or the other, depending how you set it up.

Turbosmart have a good tutorial on it...

Thanks Scotty

i have the 3 port mac, boost is at 20 now so dont need additional spring psi

what way do you suggest from that info?

Just leave the upper port/s venting, and run the hose from the cooler pipe, through the MAC, then T'd to the lower port/s. If you have issues holding boost you may need to replace the lower section of the MAC to the 4 or 5 port for the next tune. (the coils halves are usually similar and you can buy parts for them locally.)

Thanks, awesome document btw.

Since the springs are already strong ill use Single port connection Method, that what you referring to ?

Top ports of wastegates vent to atmosphere

Port 1 of solenoid vent to atmosphere
Port 2 of solenoid to bottom ports of wastegates
Port 3 of solenoid to Pressure only source (turbo/cooler pipe?)

wire mac valve to std boost controller wiring and same with 02 sensor. Run brown wire to 02 signal wire and and just select innovate in drop down menu instead of oem narrowband.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
