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.

Where can you plug that into though? As the plug for it on the ECU is already used with the other map sensor.. and I am running a hks t51r single .

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!

Why is this so hard?

Run a new 2 core cable from the ECU adapter out to the engine bay and put a matching plug and socket onto it and the boost solenoid. You know, manually, like with your hands. A little actual wiring, not just plugging shit together.

Would rather not have to cut up the ECU harness that's why. Would rather of used the factory wires if they were there. But as they are not I'm asking for help on other options. Would rather replace my broken stand alone boost controller than hack up the harness lol. Only went for the Apexi as I thought the garage had fitted the whole gtr loom as I supplied them with it including the fuse box side of things. But looks like they haven't. Even though the battery cables have been changed for the new ones.. that's why I was confused in not seeing the factory 2 pin for the solenoid.

to be honest, I think you are best getting someone to do the install for you. The process is reasonably straightforward but I guess you aren't confident to do it so best get some help rather than get it wrong and blow your motor up

The connection from the PFC to the solenoid is 2 wires, but it is not plug an play. Any auto electrical person should be able to look after that part.

You also need a pre throttle boost source for the map sensor, which needs 3 wires back to the ECU too.

I'm more than confident in doing the work. Done most of the work on the car myself. And the kit is plug and play if I had the stock wire as it has the same plug. Even if it wasn't the same plug I can happily change them to ones that match. The problem is I don't have that wire to do so. And would rather not cut up a perfectly good harness after having problems with a hacked up one from its life in Japan! What I want to know is exactly where on the loom the cable for the gtr stock boost solenoid is. And if I can in even fit the gtr loom from the fuse box side into my gtst and it work. Everyone seems to be ignoring the questions I have asked! I know where it should be fitted And how to fit it. But I don't have that option so need advice on what else I can do.

It's not on the engine loom. It's on the driver's side engine bay body loom. You don't have it. The wires are not there. Stop looking for them and start plumbing in the cable that you are going to need.

Plus, you're not having up any ECU loom. You're just going to stitch 2 wires into the PFC boost controller.

This is wrong. Because, as I posted MUCH earlier

There is no "standard boost controller cable" on an R32 GTSt. They didn't have a boost control solenoid, so......they didn't have a cable for it.

The Apexi solenoid basically needs 12v to one side of the solenoid (usually powered from IGN pin 45) and then switches to ground at the ecu at pin 25 for the pulsing of the solenoid to bleed air.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
