i want to modify my rb25 s2 and im trying to find the intake manifold pressure sensor. i think it might be the solenoid looking device located along with the AAC valve - the one with the purple clip.

its definitely not the black box with an air line attached to it located near the brake booster because this car doesnt have one. nor am i talking about the wastegate actuator

im not trying to fit a boost gauge, i already have one installed. all i want to know is where the manifold pressure sensor is

are you talking about the MAP sensor for the stock boost gauge? Cause thats the only MAP sensor that the S2 (R33) RB25 will have.

Its located on the drivers side near the firewalll. Has a boost line going to it, and a wiring harness plugged into it (4 pin or maybe 5 pin?)

That thing you have circled in your photo is part of the AAC valve, its not a sensor

Ok..... Your trying to fit a boost gauge.... an aftermarket one?

If so it should either come with its own MAP sensor (if electronic) or should require a direct boost feed to the gauge (if mechanical)

If your fitting the standard gauge (in standard cluster) then that black box is what that is for. So if its not there, then you need to get one.

im not fitting a boost gauge. im trying to make a PWM circuit that actuvates at a certain boost level. instead of buying an expensive vacuum pressure sensor and fitting it to the product, i was hoping to use an existing sensor already installed on the car

Whoops sorry. Didnt see the 'not' in 'not trying to install a boost gauge'

The MAP sensor for the boost gauge is the only one on the car from factory, because it runs MAF.

Best bet if any sensor will do might be to try and find someone who's got rid of there stock boost sensor and buy it off them. But at the same time I think there only a 1bar unit so might not be any good for what your after. I think in the PFC FAQ thread paulr33 lists some MAP sensors that can be used with the DJetro that are cheaper then buying the Apexi sensor. Maybe give that a look

i would like to make a very CHEAP jaycar type device. jaycar already has a digital pulse adjuster kit which retails around $80 plus the hand controller for around $65.

if i can make a similar, although less powerful pulse adjuster for about 1/3 of that price, and make it easier to use, hopefuly people would be interested in buying them

im trying to design it to be controlled by 2 potentiometers: one for determining how much fuel is delivered and another for determining when its delivered. sort of like how a boost tee works. but i may need to add more buttons n shit to give it more flexibility.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
