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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
