Hi guys, I received my Power FC AP Engineering computer for my RB20 DET on friday and went straight to the shed to hook it up. Thats all good, it works perfectly with my hand controller showing all the stats. Thats not the prob, I also purchased the optional boost controller kit but I'm having troulble working out where the MAP sensor wire goes (the one with a horizontal and vertical tabs in the connector) sorry guys no pics just yet but hopefully soon. Does this get cut and spliced into the map sensor harness like in paulr33's Power FC FAQ, coz mines only got a 3 pin map sensor connector so i take it i splice the solenoid wires onto the MAP sensor harness??? Any help would be nice guys. Also my car was originally just a GTS so i don't have a factory boost gauge just a aftermarket one with a copper air line any ideas how to hook up the MAP sensor air line??? :ninja:

Cheers guys

if your boost kit has the 3 pin plug and socket

then the 3 wires are for the map sensnor

power, ground,. signal

the 2 wires for the solenoid are run off the factory harness

Hey paul, I've got a printout of the pinouts for an RB20 DET and can't work out where they should go???? Are they just power and ground(earth) from the solenoid? Your photos show you've spliced the solenoid into the MAP sensor plug, do you know if the RB20DET is the same? Sorry if the questions seem stupid, still learning :ninja:

from the top

3 pin boost kit plug

power - map sensor

ground - map sensor

signal - map sensor

2 wires from car loom

power - any 12v power im pretty sure

ground - look for wasteground solenoid control

basically

the map sensor plugs into the FC

and the solenoid runs of the factory harness

on the stock loom is wastegate control

which is power and ground,

ground is switched by the ecu to control boost

you just need to match these up and it works

I'm following you with the setup but my pinout doesn't show a wastegate control pin, should i just get a workshop that tunes the power fc to install the boost kit controller???(Keeping in mind my R32 was originally just a GTS) What do you think paul

Edited by Drift Freak

ok on the gtst loom there is wastegate control

look in the powerfc faq cubes

did an animated gif between differeneces of rb20 and rb25 wiring loom

it shows the wastegate control wires

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
