Avc-r Wiring

[cooky2511]

When i was trying to wire my avc-r to my computer i found that when i tried to hook up the rpm wire from the boost controller there wasn't a wire on the computer loom to hook it up to. I followed the ecu wiring diagram and all. Has anyone else had this problem if so how the hell did you manage to do it.

Your looking at the wiring the wrong way around... Read the manual again and check the ECU orientation page...

You may not be looking at the pic the wrong way up i had the same prob on saterday when i did mine i hooked up to the injection wire and set the avcr to 1 cyl insted of 6

give me a call if ya want 0411982090

Thtas right... you want to hook up to cyl 1 wire...

Can someone explain further? What do you mean by wiring it to cylinder No.1 wire?

The AVC-R manual says you can have injector duty cycle OR rpm. So pick which one you'd prefer and wire it up. I've already got a tacho so...

If you want the Gear based learning function of the AVC-R then use the RPM signal, the functionality is not available if you are monitoring Injector D/C. It depends on your intended use, the AVC-R is a very powerful unit, most people under use it, those that do use the full functionality get what they paid for..

I personally used the RPM sensing and I used and tuned all the functionality of the AVC-R including the mostly unused Scramble Boost Switch. Gear based initial duty cycle is excellent for boost production and delivery in RWD cars also wind it back in 1st adn 2nd even in 3rd and spike 4th slightly for nice little blip of boost into gear..

I connected the rpm signal, perhaps thats another reason why my thing has always offered kick ass boost control?

The scramble button is also great, poor mans traction control, mount the button on your sterring wheel and when getting it off the line or on slow corners at the track then just set the scramble button to -0.4bar when running 1.3bar and the thing doesnt light up tyres:)

Can anyone tell me if the boost solenoid is supposed to be so noisy. When boost comes on it makes a ticking noise. Ive got it mounted right where the old one sat.

[performance-wise]

hey mate,

I was wondering the same thing when I installed mine but the noise you are hearing is normal.

[cooky2511]

thats good news. Its starting to get pretty annoying now though so i might have to move it or box it or something.

[Abo Bob]

You get used to it after a while. Just turn the stereo up.

Roy - you shock me. I thought your right foot was boost control?

[r33gtst196]

I put my boost solenoid where the orignal one was with the rubber thing = no noise at all

[cooky2511]

That rubber piece is just to stop vibration i think. The noise im getting is from the solenoid doing its thing.

When you mount the solenoid and plug the hoses into the solenoid, do you remove or keep the little brass restrictor inside the hose?

[Col-GTSX]

No leave it there.. Apexi put it there so i reckon theres a reason.....
