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

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
