Yeah mate actually after a actuator setup guide....
but cheers anyway
I found this....
but its done on a celica but not sure if its the same.
-
right so the 3 wires for the map sensor
so you use the factory boost control wires to run the solenoid
just chop off the plug and match the wires
so im guessing that the black wire is positive and white is positive on the car?
-
the boost control kit plug, is it the 3 pin or 5 pin kit?
what car do you have?
if its the 5 pin kit
then the solenoid power and ground run to the loom
and the 3 wires for map sensor run off the boost kit loom
if its the 3 pin kit
then the solenoid power and ground run off the STOCK car loom
and the 3 wires for the map sensor run off the boost kit loom
look at your ecu's wiring diagram to find what wire is wastegate control, usually wire #25. run this to the solenoid and run the other to power from somewhere (im pretty sure).
the powerfc faq shows u how to connect up both
it a 3 wire one....

Hey guys....
I just got the boost controller kit for the apexi and went to install it but came to the solenoid cable and got a little stuck.....
Plugs in fine on the solenoid end but when it comes to the other end dont have much of an idea.. it doesnt fit the original plug and not sure what to do.
Do I have the wrong wire?
here is a pic of the wire.
Oh car is R33 GTST

Mate post your e-mail addy & I'll forward a copy of the manual (in pdf)
Same goes for anyone else that might need a copy......
hey Lunatikk
sent you a PM mate....
-
just purchased a HKS Actuator and need to know how to install and set the base boost.
-
I got the same kit nowhere to put the hose.....
I had a tee between the plenum and blow off valve for a awhile seemed to work ok.....
but changed it in the end by getting a nipple put into the piping.... got this pick not all that long ago from someone elso on the forums....
this is where i got mine put in cause welding into the hybrid piping was going to be to much of a stuff around because its made of something cant rember what.
-
i wouldnt think there is one at all. im not even sure it would work with the stock ecu or powerfc being a different sensor type. and dont bother getting an af guage off the stock narrowband sensor it will be pointless and given you nothing useful
ok thanks for clearing it all up for me.... for a second there i was thinking i was going to have to go spend more $$$ on an o2 sensor
chears
-
let me clarify. when they tune your car they stick one up the exhaust pipe at the back and use a portable controller and guage to read and then tune your car. they keep the stock narrowband sensor in the exhaust dump pipe. they tune the car accordingly and then remove it when done. theres no need to replace your factory narrowband one unless it is broken and doesn't return anything useful. they have a lifespan of around 50,000k's ish. so it might be worthwhile just replacing it anyway. the stock 33 gtst sensor is a generic 3 wire sensor and you can use a ford el falcon sensor as its the same type and setup.
ok so what is the benifit of getting a 4 wire one? or is there no benifit?
-
No. Noone has to get a wideband. Just take it to a tuner and he does all the tuning with his wideband. Done.
ok.... now i get it.... so they just remove yours and put in one of those ones connected to a meter.
ok so what would be the adavntage of replacing my old one with a 4 wire one? better if i was to hook up an air fuel gague or something?
-
You need a wideband to tune the PowerFC. The "4 wire" O2 sensors are the narrowband type, just with an inbuilt heating element. Totally useless for tuning for anything but stoichiometric AFRs.
ok so does this mean that everyone that has had a power fc tuned needed to get an o2 sensor b4 they could get the tune?
anyone know where i can get a wideband from?
-
Hey guys just wondering when it comes to tuning the power fc will i require a wideband 02 sensor or will a 4 wire one do the job.... Like this one?
http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.php?products_id=81
(will it fit r33 gtst?)
or will even the stock o2 sensor do?
Any ideas comments welcome.... do not have a clue when it comes to these o2 sensors and seems that they are hard to find even on the net.
Cheers

What about these guys.... found them when looking around....
site is www.bosimporting.com.au
Stainless Steal Version

one (Power Intake kit) comes with the small metal adapter that says apexi on it...
the other (Replacement Filter) is simply the filter part that still bolts onto the AFM if you get the correct one...
ok thanks so there isnt any difference basicly apart from gettting a bit of metal.
-
Looking at nengun and there are to differnt apexi filter kits? whats the difference?
ones called APEXi - Power Intake kit and costs arount 110 deliverd and the other is called APEXi - Dual Funnel Air Cleaner (Replacement Filter) and cosrs around 80 dilivered is there something special about the Power Intake kit?
-
Ok will have a closer look around the forums!
Cheers
-
Yes.. the Z32 is the same size as the std afm.
It simply has a different airflow vs voltage output calibration.
Thanks for that Cubes,
Thinnking about buying a new filter anyway.... got a blitz filter on the car atm but i hear that they might not do that good a job and that the apexi's are about as good as they come is this true?
-
Will be installing a z32 afm onto my r33 shortly and needing to know will the pod of the stock afm fit the z32 or will i have to purchase a new pod to suit the z32?
If have to purchase a new pod will buy the apexi power intake. does anyone know what the product code is for this?
-
Need to know if there are any risks when gapping NGK Platinum plugs or if you can actually do it to them as some people have said that it might not be possible because of the coating?
is this true?
-
heres one from another thread
Thanks......
so does a boost T go where the T peice is or where the solenoid is?
if where the T peice is do you remove the solenoid all together and just plug the other hose from the top of the solenoid
-
Could someone that has a stock setup take a pic and post it up.... think there is a t peice involved somewhere!
-
Hey guys does anyone have or can take a pic of the stock boost solenoid setup with the hoses visable to where they go ect, as mine atm has a boost T setup and im not sure if its right or not and want to put it back to normal... as im getting power fc + boost control kit.
Cheers
-
Ok thanks guys.....
Ill get all the parts on and get it tuned see what it may or may not need after that... "injectors, Turbo, ect."
PFC should say what limits are being reached right?
