Hi all,

Im trying to locate a 3 pin female connector that plugs into the 3 pin port on the power fc ecu's to accomodate an external MAP sensor. Does anyone have an idea where I can source something that will fit?

Ive tried pulling apart a few computers and power supplies, but have had no luck yet. Jaycar and DSE dont stock anythign that comes close to fitting either.

Im beginning to think it will be easier to open up the ecu and solder on a diferent connector, or fit an external lead. Anyone have any suggestions before I do this?

Cheers,

Ian

I dont want to use the boost controller kit for the FC. I just want to hook up a pressure sensor for data logging, so I need the plug that comes with the apexi map sensor.

The apexi map sensor doesnt have the range of operation that I need, so im using a different sensor. Sourcing the plug is the problem, and buying a boost controller kit to get a 30 cent component isnt an option.

I am after the 3 pin version of this plug. The pictures below are for the plug that is for PFC's that use the 5 pin boost controller harness. Its more of an general electronics grade connector than an automotive grade connector.

nengun.com has the loom as a seperate part (ie not in the whole kit)

and you can also buy the map sensor seperately

i did this on my r33 to get boost display on the hand controller without the boost control kit

Sensor harness 3P For Boost con 415-A001

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
