Hey, so I have a Power FC L-Jetro for a s13 redtop sr. I recently bought the apexi boost control kit 415-A001 which turns out is the wrong boost control kit. The difference being in the plugs.
My power fc has a 5 pin plug for boost control kit. But the kit I got is only a 3 pin plug. I did some research and found this…
So clearly the boost control kit I got was type 1. So what I tried to do was, shave down the 3 pin plug to fit onto the first 3 pins. And then I got a 2 pin plug and wired up the solenoid. Everything should be right. It goes…
So it should basically look like the harness on the proper kit.
After wiring it up and plugging it into the Power FC. I went into ETC and then FUNCTION SELECT and I turn the Boost control Kit to ON which is the japanese symbol without the +sign. But after doing that, when I go to Boost reading it stays the same and shows…
Boost: -----
Any ideas as to how I can get this to work? Much appreciated.
or is there anyone in scarborough area that has sr power fc that i could try and plug the boost control into? need to get this figured out by tomorrow…
i just took a multi meter to the 5 pins and got…
1st pin: Power
2nd pin: not sure, should be signal but don’t know how to test for that
3rd pin: Ground
4th pin: Power
5th pin: is supposed to be ground but doesn’t seem to show anything.
Just called apexi… and they said the map sensors are the same on the kit that i have 415-A001 and the kit I needed 415-A013. And in fact, the difference between the kits is only the end plug. And even with them saying that, they told me how I modded my plug would work as well.
So this leads me to believe that maybe the map sensor is faulty. Any ideas as to how i can check if it’s faulty? What would I need? Thanks.
since i don’t have a compressor, could i just run the car and measure the green signal wire with a multimeter? if the car is running and the map sensor is working it should get a reading right?
And as for where you can get the harness… i found this site that sells optional power fc parts. They sell both the 3 pin as well as the 5 pin harness.
