HELP!!!

I need help installing the power fc boost controller. There is a 2 prong plug that comes out of the solenoid. I have no idea where to install this. I really need help as this is the only thing holding me up right now. Please let me know. Thanks.

10 paypal dollars to whoever gets me the answer that makes it work. Thanks.

I cant really help since I have no background in Power FC's, but perhaps a picture of this plug may help someone else?

Is this what you cant connect?

From my nasty japanese translation heres the best info off the Japanese website I can find.

"The solenoid valve could connect the line of some color to the line of some color, is?There is no polarity in the solenoid valve. You connecting to whichever, it is good."

This makes me wonder if that stock boost control solenoid that comes on the igniter chip plate needs to be used. Or at least the connector on it. Since everyone who does the swap throws this part out.

Heres everything off the website about the boost control and the Power FC:"P-FC (boost control) AVC-R The solenoid valve could connect the line of some color to the line of some color, is?There is no polarity in the solenoid valve. You connecting to whichever, it is good.

With study value not decreasing, not studying?It is not necessary for boost, to be stable with target boost, study value as the air to designate. When study difference of actual boost and target boost is little, throttle opening is many, it is done. In addition, when difference of target boost and actual boost is large, study is not done. * With AVC-R, 2 types of normal goal boost pressure stability study and boost pressure setting study of classified by optional engine rpm become the basis. In addition with study classified by gear 0 start and off of study can be set with ×. You keep present study value with study as an off.

It does not rise to setting boost.1.When goal boost setting and, setting of basic duty has not met, boost does not stabilize. If actual boost is lower than target boost, if duty it is large and actual boost is higher than target boost, please set duty small. (You apply target boost even excessively and when it is left, opposite can be.)2.Please verify whether or not there is no mistake in piping. (Crack and looseness etc. it isn't leaking?)

Boost rises too much. Lowering based duty even when, lowering start duty rising, it finishes. When how it does, it may, is?It is not possible as for AVC-R being to be something which boost control is done inside the control range of the actuator, exceeding the mechanical condition of the vehicle, boost control to do. For example when the catalyst straight pipe and the straight muffler etc. are used, because resistance of exhaust decreases considerably, setting low with however much duty control, there are times when boost rises. (The rotary engine and the like especially is remarkable.) The lowest boost pressure which controls with only the actuator of vehicle side can verify with a state where the boost control function of AVC-R is turned off. It is not possible to control below the boost pressure."

the system should have come with a harness that connect to it, and the pressure sensor according to the apexi sitethis harness then goes through the firewall and connects to the harness for the controller

I was searching on ebay and saw this... http://img78.photobucket.com/a...9.jpg

This power FC was taken off of an S13 SR20DET. Notice the brown wire and orange wire with blue stripe that the boost control solenoid is spliced into. Thats the part of the swap the us here in the US never hook up. I think that is where your mystery harness plugs up too. The plug off the OEM harness should be near your igniter chip.

Thanks alot... I will try to see how to hook this up later on this evening.

I figured that it might run off the stock sensor stuff, but it does not have a plug the easily slips into. At least I dont think so.

And I dont have a home computer yet so posting a pic is impractical for me... Sorry.

I'll do what I can. If someone can come up with the answer... The ten bucks are all yours.

Here is what I have. Hope this helps.

On the exhaust side I have 2 plugs:

#1: Brown/Grey-dot & Pink/grey-dot#2: blue/green stripe

On the intake side:

#1: orange/black stripe/grey dot & brown/grey dot#2: brown/grey dot & orange/blue stripe/grey dot

hope this helps.

BTW: The Apexi plug: Brown & Red.

Tell me what you think and how you would put it together. thanks.

I also put this on Freshalloy, check to see more here

The boost control solenoid plug is on the side that your igniter chip is on. Did you remove that stock green solenoid? The wires are brown and orange with blue? stripe.

yeah the green solenoid is gone....

from what i have heard, the apexi plug should plug directly into the stock harness, but it doesnt.

So should i match the wires? Apexi brown to My harness brown?

I guess you can try that, you'll know instantly if it doesnt work. But from what I read on that ApexI japan website, the plug works either way.

Or you could email the guy holding the auction for that power FC and see what colors are spliced to what on the solenoid.

Yeah. On that other thread on FA, the guy just plugs it into a plug on the turbo side of things. I dont have that, and I do remember that the stock boost stuff was on the intake mani side of things.

I emailed the guy, and will try to get it straightened out today. I also having trouble with the ignition signal, so Im also chasing some other gremlins in the electrical wiring. I used this same harness before, no probs. Now it wants to be a pain. Oh well.
