R32 Powerfc And Boost Controller

[B0oStEr]

I bought a power fc a while back but decided to wait until I build my 2.6l rb25de before installing it.

I have a boost solenoid from an avcr and although it doesn't have the pfc boost controller loom I've been

told it will work with the pfc although I'm not sure how to hook it up.

I've been told by someone who should know that in the r32gtst the pfc can use the factory map sensor to read boost so you don't need the sensor from the avcr.

When I was still using my factory boost gauge I noticed my peak boost dropping a few psi over a period of months.

Then I installed a good Blitz gauge only to find my boost 'jump' to 12psi from 7psi on the factory gauge.

Would that be a lazy map sensor or the gauge itself.

How can I test the sensor output?

you need the powerfc boost kit loom, which can be brought seperately from nengun.com. The boost kit is unable to use the factory map sensor, so you need the one from the boost kit. It's actually a denso map sensor.

If the r32 gtst ecu sees an input from the boost gauge map sensor what number pinout is it?

What would the ecu need a map sensor input for anyway as it doesn't control boost in the gtst?

It doesn't. the map sensor in the 32 is specifically for the gauge and nothing else.

PFC boost control is average to say the least anyway, so your not missing out on much.

agreed. having a stand alone boost controller is a good idea. much easier (and MUCH quicker) to set-up.

if you dont want your rb20 pfc... ill buy it
