So far this is what i know:

1) Connect the Apexi map sensor (included in kit), if you have an r33 find the sensor that runs the stock boost gauge then run a T peice of the hose that connects to it. Then run the hose to the Apexi map sensor. If you dont have an r33 then use the hose that you run your boost guage off. Next you need to connect the apexi map sensor to your PFC (cable included and there is only one in the kit that will fit).

2) Connect the apexi boost solenoid, simply replace the stock solenoid with the apexi one. NOTE, you may have to change the posi of the ports on the solenoid depending on you setup. (see the guide on the US apexi site for the AVCR). You plug the apexi solenoid into the plug that the stock solenoid used. If the plugs are not the same it probably means that you have a solenoid for the GTR and you might have to cut the wires and solder them.

3) Tuning, go to the boost menu on the hand controller. Set the desired boost level in BAR. Go for a run under good load in third gear. If you do not get the boost you wanted then increase the base duty, if you over boosted then retard the base duty. NOTE: If you increase the base duty too much then your boost controller will spike, but if you dont have enough base duty then you wont come on boost hard enough. You dont have to get it exactly right though as the boost controller will learn the right boost curve after a couple on runs.

I am in the process of doing the above and I hope it all makes sense. If you have any further questions about the install then send me a PM. Chances are that I would have had the same problem.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
