The R32GTST is quite different because the Power FC was made by AP Engineering, not Apexi themselves.  It is a bit of a hybrid Power FC with some features found on the GTR Power FC's.  Plus the R32GTST has a map sensor standard, with input to the Power FC (R33GTST's don't).

So when you get the Boost Control Kit it will come with a map sensor that you don't have to use.  The boost control solenoid is simply wired into the outputs of the Power FC.  When you have it, PM me and I will give you the pin outs.

Hey SydneyKid,

Just curious about how you mention that the Map sensor input to the PowerFC where as the R33's dont

If i happen to use a PFC from an R33 on my R32 should it work?

The reason i ask is because i have been using one for more than 6 months now with no problems and always wondered if there was any different between the wiring or connection?

Also is there any difference between the AP PFC and Apexi PFC?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob, I have heard of people using R33GTST PFC's in R32GTST's, I have also heard of people using R332/33 GTR PFC's in R32GTSTs. I have not done it myself so I can't say whether it is perfect or not.

AP Engineering supply PFC for models of cars that Apexi don't, they are low volume specialty PFC's that Apexi don't believe it is worthwhile programming for. AP Engineering PFC's are more expensive than Apexi. Looking at our R32GTST PFC (AP Engineering) it is much like an R32GTR PFC physically. AP seem to have devised several program changes (eg; deleting one AFM) so that it will work on an R32GTST. But they have left a few others (eg; inlet air temp) that you wouldn't expect to find on a GTST PFC.

:D

HI SydneyKid

Thanks for above as i was always curious about any differences between them.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
