Boost controller. Setup help.

Hello, I want to run my new controller off the fuel pressure regulator, now beacuse my haltech has elimanated my pressure sensor.

This is for my S5 TII.

Just two questions.
So... For my Pressure sensor I would hook up to the fuel pressure regulator Correct? (split 3 way connector on that blue vacumme line?
(The picture with the blue vacume line sticking out of it, is that my fuel pressure regulator?)
Any if so, is it the same for S4's and S5's?

If not can someone throw up a picture of it so I can connect my 3way to that. (The fuel pressure regulator)
2nd back to original line and the 3rd one to my aftermarket pressure sensor to my boost controller. That correct?

Aside form that I hook up my valve unit to my turbo actuator?

Last but not least for my last, can I hook up my HKS blow off (connected to my Intercooler piping)for the other valve unit vacumme line?

If I can do those two things It will work? Anyone see anything wrong with that?

Translated for smarter people:
For the valve unit Do I hook it up to the Actuator on the Turbo, and WHAT PRESSURE source should I be using, my HKS blow off or off the arm in the picture (black vacum on the left)


For the pressure sensor, is the picture at the top the fuel pressure regulator on the end of the secondary rail the... (Drum looking thangggg)

Why do you want to use the fuel pressure regulator pressure source? I wouldn't mess with that at all.

The boost controller has nothing to do with your blow off valve.

what kind of boost controller do you have? The solenoid (or manual boost controller if you have one of those) connect to both the waste gate and the pressure source on the turbo. (there is a nipple on the front compressor cover.)

Electronic boost controllers usually need another vacuum source to be run into the car. There is a vacuum nipple that comes off the outside of the upper intake manifold right where it connects to the lower intake manifold. That's the source I use for my blow off valve, boost controller, ECU, and boost gauge.

Internal, Greddy E-01

Standalone ECU , Meaning N370 pressure sensor + N370 MAF removed.

Requires Fuel pressure running to the Pressure sensor to the Solinoid, I require pressure for the Turbo Actuator and a Vacumm source off the intercooler, My BOV is a HKS with a vacumme port.

So it works with the Fuel Pressure Regulator, going to a seperate sensor (Pressure sensor) *then to COM unit*
The Solinoid (valve unit) Needs-a ,in comming vacumm source (Intercooler) and the Turbo Actuator situationed on the turbo itself (bottom of it) *then to COM unit*

My Question is pretty well, if thats what is needed, should I be using that or what sources should I use?

AEM to Greddy E-01

My problem is going from the AEM tru boost to my Greddy E-01 beacuse I eliminated my Pressure sensor. (Internal)

Even then it's confusing, as my HKS blow off was tied into the lines.

2My old setup has it running from the Wastegate (actuator)
3and the Turbo pressure(just after intercooler) (Inlet before turbine)

Those two Into The solinoid, (valve unit for the Greddy E-01)


And For the "aftermarket", Greddy Pressure sensor requires it running to the Fuel regulator? My question is how and what part is this? Is this the picture shown on my first post at the end of the secondary fuel rail?

Beacuse Thats what I need to find out, for the elimation of my Pressure sensor!, and unknown to the Greddy.

Onlything questioning atm is my BOV, it was getting signals to the Pressure sensor but In reality the BOV isn't electronic as it's valve controlled isnt it?

I take vacuum for the BOV off the side of the manifold,near the TB.
The FPR is by itself,no tap in's there.(dedicated)
The Boost control can get T'd into your map/boost sensor hose,or run it off the nipple on the side of the upper manifold.

So...

DONE

The FPR is by itself,no tap in's there.(dedicated
What are you refering to? That I don't touch? What would I run into my Pressure sensor as It's taking in pressure and just sending signals back to the COM unit.

The Boost control can get T'd into your map/boost sensor hose,or run it off the nipple on the side of the upper manifold.
I no longer have a pressure/boost sensor.

The Kit comes with Boost Solinoid (valve unti)
That requires Turbo Actuator and "intake"? (pic1) (last post) ???

Also comes with a seperate Pressure sensor that asks to be wired into the Fuel pressure regulator? (Why, isn't it the same as taking readings from the Side of the Manifold?
(it was T'd off from the manifold into the BOV+old N370 pressure sensor+straight into the AEM turboost Boost to pressure signals.

So from what I gathered I take vacum from the Turbo (wastegate/Actuator), and I also wire it into the Turbo Intake line off the turbo (at the intercooler inlet)
For the solinoid.

For the Pressure sensor(it says FPR, but Can i use manifold pressure)? If so im done.

the e-01 can be hooked up to any source that sees both boost and vacuum so the side of the manifold is fine. for the solenoid itself use the nipple coming off the front by the turbo inlet for the input (COM?) and the output goes to the wastegate

I don't know if this will show up.( I think it does)
that is a hook up I followed for my Greddy specII
.The Unit itself will have a hose that will go from the Greddy to a Boost Vacuum source on your engine.

I SOmewhat figured it out....

When the guide was made up for it, they never re-editted

I'm told i can use the intake manifold so that solves the FPR.
So It's said Pressure sensor gets pressure from the manifold as well can be wired to the Blow off valve (but they said may see drops from that, but it will be mostly consistant (if the lines are short).

After that the solinoid gets wired from the Wastegate actuator and if you have one (inlet or the pre-compression from the turbo (tap into neck. *stock tii has 1*).
after that should all go back to the electonic unit and display.
(Was mainly designed for external use not internal from my understanding.)

My AEM Tru boost solinoid also took the waste and comp off the turbo? hmm

If you are going from an E-01 to an AEM Tru Boost, basically you could keep the same vacuum routing.

The FPR thing is just a generic piece of advice. It's universal instructions. Tap the source off the same place you did for the AEM Tru Boost assuming it was working fine before. The E-01 has the exact same type of solenoid as the AEM Tru boost. Look at the solenoids; they have three ports arranged in the same way. Only difference is that the E-01 uses a Denso solenoid and the AEM uses a solenoid made by MAC.

Check out this very comprehensive guide about boost controllers I put together: http://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generatio...-chart-952767/
