*EDIT* no longer needed

Yeah, hopefully, but I will be happy as long is it has a decent tune and can be driven hard without leaning out I made 200rwkw (268rwhp) with the stock injectors and 0.9bar boost, so talking to Shaun at Boostworx, who will be tuning it, he reckons around 18psi or there abouts should see if make some really good power, and there is no reason why is shouldn't be able to run this boost, as the RB20 has lowish comp. ratio and it has a nice fuel setup now, so all the key factors are there to produce good power Also with the previous tune it was lacking a fair bit of timing through the mid-range, and would come onto boost at around 4-4500rpm depending on load, now it starts to boost just under 3000rpm, so it should have allot more response than before Hopefully at 1bar for daily duties I can have a responsive 200rwkw and when I want too I can up the boost and have a bit more Looking forward to getting it all finished! P.S, keep a eye on your postbox Chris

Put in the injectors, Z32 AFM and PowerFC in on saturday Big thanks to Roy and R31 POWER, without the info from you both, I would have struggled The injector removal and installation turned out to be pretty straight forward, with only the GTR injector plugs needing a locating tab to be trimmed to get them to plug in, overall it was no more than a hour to pull the old injectors out and have the new ones in. Best thing was I turned the key and it primed very quickly, and ther was no leaks - YAY! The resistor wiring took a little longer, mainly due to me being very cautios about which wire I snipped I took a few pics, but as with everything my digital camera batteries run out. I have pics of the wiring loom though and what colour the injector power wire is etc After the resistor was wired in, I started it with the stock computer - to my surprise it fired first crank - at least it started, but as expected ran mega rich! I did this becasue I wanted to make sure - before the PowerFC went in - that it ran, becasue if it didn't there would be to many things I have cahnged to work out what was wrong if it didn't! Next was the Z32 AFM wiring, which was by far the easiest part of all the wiring And then the PowerFC install, which was even easier! It all started no probs, and is as drivable as before with the fuel/inj correction adjusted to suit Its being booked in today for tuning, so hopefully by the end of the week! Best of all, it all worked, I didn't drop or loose one bolt (very rare for me!), the only mis-hap was a slightly wayward screw driving finding its way into my index finger while try to prise of a very stubborn injector clip! Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed, without the extensive SAU crew to fire q's at, I would have never got it done Chris

massive to Targa Tom, I have everything I need, just have to do a bit of soldering Thanks heaps to everyone for contributing Chris

sorry if I have confused you all further!!!!!!

Nah, there isn't - that I know of! There is three wires coming of the pressure sensor, and the plug of that fits perfectly into the Power FC computer case connection The only wires that I was puzzled by was the two coming of the Solenoid, which I though where power wires. Unless the whole thing draws power from the FC box itself, but again that leaves me with two wires coming from the solenoid that I have no idea where they are suposed to go!!! :confused:!!!!!!!!!! I guess the wires going to the solenoid need a signal from somwhere to control boost pressure, as the only connection between the pressure sensor and the solenoid is a vacuum line :confused: This is what is leading me to believe that there is a wirinh harness or something missing Chris

I have sent a email to Greenline, just in case I need a new harness Hopefully Sydneykid or Targa Tom read this, as I am pretty sure they both have PFC boost control kits on there R32's Chris

Yeah, well looking at it the other night it seemed like it was all there, thats why I assumed they wher just power wire from the solenoid They guy I bought it from (slyr33) had it checked out by two places an they assured him it was all there.......... Hopefully someone who has one or there 32 will post a reply up! Chris

Looking at what I have, the pressure sensor has a plug that plugs directly into the PowerFC, and there is a vacuum hose from the map sensor to the COM port on the solenoid, and then the other port on the solenoid has the vacuum line from the turbo plug into that The wires I am talking about are coming of the solenoid, with a plug on the end, I cant remember the colours, but i am pretty sure they are as you say So it sounds like I am missing something........? Bloody brilliant...............

Still cant find anything on the net in regards to this Please help!!

Pm replied to Nozila

Will be checking malfuctioning unit on saturday, hopefully its just a dodgy connection to the button that is stopping it from working Chris

PM replied to, working unit sold to XrSist

Yeah no probs, one is still in the car ( the one with the malfunctioing button ) and the other is sitting at home, I will be taking it out on saturday Chris

Need help with installation of a PowerFC boost control kit on my R32 GTSt It seems pretty straight forward, in regards to the plumbing of vacuum lines etc, I have downloaded the AVCR manual and the plumbing of the vacuum lines seems to much the same as any other boost controller, but I have just been told by a mate that the connector from the solenoid - it has two wires coming from it, is plugged into the standard solenoid in his car ( a R33 GTS25T ) I assumed these where just a + and - for power and was going to wire them into a 12V power source, as far as I know there is no form of electronic boost control on the R32's? Any help will be greatly apprieceated Chris

Good stuff, I reckon I will stick to 7600 as my rev limit, as I don't want to kill it with revs. Maybe if I get around to it I might get the head rebuilt on my spare motor and put some cams in and new valve springs etc Chris

I have two Greddy/Trust Profec A's for sale I just bought to replace my mis-behaving Profec A i have in my car atm. I came across a Power FC boost control kit the other day and have since bought that, so now I have two Profec A's I don't need. $150 for the malfunctioning one - the over take/high boost button works and sometime it doesn't work. The solenoid and everything else works fine *SOLD payment pending* $250 for the new one, which is in really good condition *SOLD payment pending* I will try to get pics up ASAP Postage will cost around $8 - $10 to eastern states, might be more for NT and WA Chris

I have another Profec A I just bought to replace my mis-behaving Profec A i have in my car atm. I came across a Power FC boost control kit the other day and have since bought that, so now I have two Profec A's I don't need. $150 for the malfunctioning one $250 for the new one Let me know if you are keen or not, Chris

Also, just a quick one, does anyone know if the S1 R33 AFM pinouts are the same as R32 GTSt? I am putting on my Z32 AFM as well, but can only find a wiring diagram to suit RB25 Joel used to run a S1 R33 AFM on his carand the AFR's where the same, leading me to believe the wiring diagram for the R33 - Z32 AFM will suit RB20 Any suggestions? Chris

Whats your rev limit Roy? my chipped ECU is 8200, and it has seen it quite a bit! I reckon 7600 is a pretty safe rev limit, I guess as most RB20's make peak power at around 6500 odd, a lowish rev limit will help with reliability! I wonder how long it would last at 10,000rpm? I am sure the hydraulic lifters would love that sort of treatment! Chris

Apparently thats the only full english manual out, as it was done for the american market Let me know if you find any other manuals There are quite a few on www.apexi-usa.com Chris

here it is - http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/power_FC_manual.pdf enjoy Chris

Cheers guys, looks like a work around thats not too hard At least it should get me to the dyno etc I just found a english PFC hand controller manual which takes you through pretty much everyhting you need to know, i will post a link when i can find it again! Chris

Looks to be ok mate, overall it seems to be a bit more fuel and a little less timing than the map I currently have, I haven't had a good look at it yet If I get chance I might default my PFC and write down the default maps and see how differant they are Once I have my car tuned properly ( I am going to see the guy who is doing the tuning today ) I will post it up for comparison. Judging by the other thread about the injector compensation, I can either try your fuel and timing map or default it and just use the injection correction function Just going through everything last night, still on my list is a metal turbo to AFM pipe, and install the Z32 AFM as well Does yours have a Z32 AFM R31 POWER? Regards, Chris

I have no idea whats mines tuned for, I plugged it in, it started, I turned it off. I copied the maps from it and that was it, my car is currently running on the stock (chipped) ecu It will be interesting to compare it with what Roy and R31POWER's maps are like, especially the differant fuel maps Chris
