Power FC Boost Control Kit

Hi all,

Quick question regarding the Power FC boost control kit...

I've just bought the kit that was previously on an sr20 which has a factory boost solenoid..

Now I want to install the kit onto an rb20. The Apexi Solenoid has a positive and negative wires which I need to run to the power fc, the only thing is I'm not sure where to...

I believe it goes to the plug next to the hand controller as there are 5 wire slots available and three go to the boost reader(Sensor)...

IE...

SOLENOID PRESSURE SENSOR

FREE FREE BLACK GREEN RED

Can someone tell me, who's using a power fc that didn't have a factory solenoid where the aftermarket solenoid goes to...

IE...

SOLENOID PRESSURE SENSOR

GROUND POSITIVE BLACK GREEN RED WIRES...

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me :P

Cheers

Dan

i think i am after the same info

but not sure

I currently have a PowerFC in my RB20... but using a Greddy boost controller.

I have a mate who has the boost solenoid from an AVCR which i hear is exactly the same as the one from the PowerFC Boost Control Kit, and i want to connect it up to my FC..

But it only has wires coming off the solenoid. with no plug. so i need to find out where the wires from the solenoid connect onto the PowerFC. like the exact pins..

Cheers :(

I have an SR20 so hopefully is similar. The 2 wires from the apexi solenoid need to be connected to the wiring for your FACTORY solenoid (as PFC uses the stock wiring loom to adjust it, the factory solenoid is then redundant).

The apexi pressure sensor then plugs directly into the PFC unit (next to the HC plug).

There are 2 "versions" of PFC, each uses different boost kit (the wiring from the sensor is different), older version has 3 pins/wires, newer version 5 pins/wires.

Hope that helps.

The RB20 Power FC wasn't really designed for use with the Boost Control Kit, but you can use it. The RB20 (R32 GTST) PFC is basically the same as the R32 GTR PFC, but AP Enginnering modified it to work on the RB20. That is why it still has inlet temperature correction (like an R32 GTR) even though RB20 's don't have an inlet temp sensor.

Enough history, how do you connect it....

RB20's have a standard map sensor, so you don't have to connect up the one that comes with the Boost Control Kit.

If you look at the pin outs on the standard R32 GTR ECU, you can see the wires for the standard boost control solenoid. The pin out is basically the same on the R32 GTST, there is just no wires for the boost control solenoid becuase R32 GTST's don't have them. That is where the Boost Control Kit is wired into the Power FC.

Hope that is of some help.:cheers:

Thanks heaps for the replys :P

The sr20 boost kit has a plug for 5wires that fits into the FC, ie next to where the hand controller fits, however the FC for the Rb requires a plug for 3 wires... So thats definetly where the Map sensor would be wired to...

As for the solenoid, thanks heaps sydneykid :(

I have all the pinouts and wiring diagrams for the RB20DET, but having trouble finding a pinout diagram for the RB26DETT. Anyone able to help me with a site or a copy.

Also have an air temp sensor here that im hooking up to the PFc, so need to know which pins are for the boost control solenoid and air temp sensor?

Thanks ppl:thumbsup:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
