Profec A Wiring

[grepin]

Can anyone help me with connecting these two red wires as shown in the picture. I assume one is ignition and permanent power. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

one is power the other is earth, on mine the long one is for the power, short for the earth. there should be another earth wire from the solenoid.

I today through trial and error had worked it out. Thanks anyway you were the first and only to reply across a couple of forums. mine doesnt have an earth from the solenoid. How do you find the unit to use all up. Do you use OTB much?

[grepin]

What is the hose connection on the rear for. The greddy site only shows the top three. Also do you know the significance of the offset settings.

Cheers.

i reply to you cos no-one has one or any experience with it.

i didn't want to fork over money just for a simple plug and play procedure.

my daily driving is @0.7bar ~10.2psi otb @ratio of 30% or 13.3psi as the profec a has a tendency to spike whilst the B version is a better unit but I'm not complaining. Much better torque in midrange and overall response than my bleed valve @12psi.

offset is if you want to align the profec a boost reading with a boost gauge as per manual. Not much use for me.

have you connected all your hoses up?

cheers

Just got back from overseas and will try connecting the hoses. i dont have a manual but know where the top 3 hoses go to but dont know where the back one goes to. How is yours connected?

Thanks

For your car grepin, I'd feed the back hose all the way under the drivers seat and then drill a hole up through it for a snug fit...........BTW, welcome back.

the back I left alone and it's fine.

I have downloaded all the manuals from the web site and done lots of research but can't work out HOW to reset the profec a (ie- get it into learn mode -P1 or P2) Can anyone tell me?

Thanks

I only just got back from my first run after fitting the profec A. Like yourself I cant get it to go to P1 mode on its own. It goes straight to normal operation. However i did the alternate mode as per info from Greddy site. After power is on hold down power button for 5sec and you get P1 do what you have to and push button twice for P2. After only a quick tune the boost seems a little unstable. In lower gears at 1bar it reaches 10psi (4psi short) and reaches the required 14psi in 3rd and 4th.

I have two questions for you.

1 - Did you leave the back nipple with no hose to atmosphere?

2 - What pwr supply did you use? I connected to accessories which is anoying as the solenoid operates when accessories are on. I need a ignition supply. I thought of the pwr window supply. Also how did you earth it? To chasy, batt, or a nearby earth to something else.

Let me know how stable you get your boost any any tricks you discover. I am off for a good drive tomorrow. I will see how I go.

Hope this helps!!

I will try the manual way to set it up but I thought it best to do it the normal way(whatever that is no-one knows apprently!!!!). I left the back hose free(once again the manual say's nothing about it). Pull the cigarette lighter out and use the PWR and Earth from that, its ignition pwr and would probably work better in the long run, in case you sit in the car using acc for the stereo etc.
