Hey guys. Trying to find out where the original boost solenoid cable is on my r32. It was a hcr32 but I have put in a rb26 with a single turbo . The loom was supposed to be from a 32 GTR but I can't find the 2 pin cable anywhere on it! No signs of anything being cut off either! Only have a spare 3 pin cable coming from roughly where it should be! Any ideas as I am stumped!!

Yeah I replaced the stock GTS loom with what I was told was a R32 gtr loom so should have that t shape plug. But there is nothing there! Not even any cut ends or anything! Rather confused. 

Has anyone for a wire diagram for where it should be and what part of the harness so I can have a closer look to see if it's been removed or is missing or anything?

 This 3 pin looks like it's coming from the same place that the cable it should be does and us about the correct length but a gtr ones are 2 pin I believe... Only thing I can think of is it's not a 32gtr loom... But if it's not then what is it? And surly it wouldn't be working in my car?

He did say it has a 32 GTR loom in it...

The boost control cable for GTRs isn't part of the engine loom. It's part of the loom that runs on the driver's side.

I guess we are probably getting to the real question now.

PFC does not do boost control directly. You need to buy the boost control adapter, and a solenoid, and wire the 2 together anyway.

Yes. I have the boost controller add on for it. That's what I'm trying to fit! It has the t shape plug on that plugs into where the factory boost solenoid would be but I'm missing that. That's the issue I'm having.

There's 2 pins on the factory connector for the solenoid - look em up and hook into them. You also have to run cable anyway (3 cores) for the Apexi MAP sensor which plugs into a different specific connector, so run another pair at the same time.

I know there is! What I am saying is I do not have that connector on my loom! The map sensor is already run as I have a d jetro.

No, you have to run a separate MAP sensor on Power FC purely for the boost control side mate, the boost control does not use the engine load MAPs which are tapped into the 2 X AFM signal wires. So on a GTR d Jetro you end up having three Apexi MAP sensors on an RB26.

There's more than one way to join 2 wires together.

Just take the plug off the Apexi loom and replace with a plug & socket from Jaycar. Other side of which you attach to the solenoid.

I don't have any 2 pin wire there to do that! That's the problem. The gts doesn't have the same boost solenoid as the gtr. Has one over by the turbo. But as that loom as been changed for the gtr along with the battery connector loom I don't have that either. All there is is that 3 pin cable where the correct 2 pin should be!

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
