Pfc Boost Comtroller Parts

[Dav]

hey hey, i had a pfc boost controller hooked up in my old car but when i sold it i didnt remove all the parts for it. i have the thing that you plug the lines into but not the solenoid i think it is.

i'll get some pics of what i have in the morning, but i wanted to know is it possible to buy just that part that im missing or am i up for a whole new set?

also while ive got you here, my car was running fine untill a couple of days ago when i started to get heaps of knock, like jumping into the 90's at times. its fine if im just driving around normally but as soon as i give it a hit i get heaps of knocking. i thought maybe bad fuel but if refilled the tank since and same thing happening. nothing has changed in the car at all and ive had to wind down the boost to try stop some of the kock, was running 15psi and wound it back to 12ish. whats the go with that? spark plugs?

anyway thanks for reading my longest post ever

If you can't get the Apex solenoid you can use:

SMC VT307-6G-01 (12V DC)

Available from an industrial pneumatics supplier.

SMC is top quality, you might use their part number to cross reference a cheaper manufacturer.

thanks for the reply, but i cant find nothing about that solenoid, is that the right part number? do you know ruoghly what there worth so i dont get ripped off.

[Dav]

this is what i still have

Thats the apexi solenoid, now you need the boost sensor

regular knock of 90? get it looked at

I would start with checking compression, spark plugs, fuel pressure (fuel filter, fuel pump), AF ratios

[Dav]

nice! no more bleed valve for me.

only get knock that high if im basically flat to the floor, and it wasnt doing that untill last week some time.

fiddlying around with the thing today, and i took it out with no air filter at all on it and knock was basically gone, only went to around 20. then i put my old pod on which is less restrictive and i had heaps less knock than with the apexi one ive got.

is it possible that the rubber tube running from the afm to the turbo is sucking shut, more so when i have a more restrictive intake? would this cause more kock?

when you took it out with no filter did you turn the boost back up to 15psi ?

the intake pipes standard have been known to suck in its a common problem

yep 15psi, but would the intake pipe closing cause kcock?

[jazza08]

Check your spark plugs, if they are gettin old they won't produce the same spark thus can cause abit more knock.

Intake pipe won't close shut at 15psi, it tends to get that way above 20psi which you wouldn't do on standard turbs neway!

[Dav]

i wouldnt run 15psi on a standard turbo either. but whats making me think maybe thats whats happening is the more restrictive the air filter is the more kock im getting, and i saw in the pod vs airbox thread that with the airbox being more restrictive it was sucking the pipe closed.

well the car has been sitting in the drive way since april due to an unexpected trip to court (apparently speeding deserves more of a penalty than drink driving, stupid f**kers seriously but anyway) and i been thinking about the pinging how it just started happening.

maybe fuel filter is getting clogged? would that do it? or would that just make the fuel pump work harder.
