I recently bought chasebaysonline's electronic boost solenoid and i am having difficulty trying to install it
My main problem is what do I splice the boost solenoid too?
I have a Apexi power FC for sr20det redtop
Before I bought the product I contacted chasebaysonline and they said it works with the power FC
Boost solenoid has two main wires: power and negativr
Any type of help will be appreciated
Call or text if you want

Do you have a 5pin port or 3pin port on your power fc?

Call me stupid, but have you called Chase and asked him what to connect it to?

The solenoid you purchased is universal. Technically it should work with any single solenoid electronic boost controller. As in if the solenoid on your EBC takes a poop you can wire in the Chasebays solenoid as a replacement piece.
As far as running it off of your power fc, you would have to look up the wiring to see how to run it as well as wiring up a pressure sensor.
If you look at the Power FC Boost Controler Kit you save yourself the above mentioned nonsense. Wiring, with the proper connectors, and I imagine there's instructions on how to connect it properly.

This is good info and probably the solution, but let me tell you what I know about the power fc and the op's problem. The power fc boost control option is either 5pin(stock wiring and standalone) or 3pin (stock wiring)
stock wiring: means utilizing stock boost solenoid wiring
Standalone: means boost controller kit.
So the OP needs to look at his power fc and see what size the port is 5 or 3pin. Wiring it is easy even without the kit or plug for 5 or 3pin. There are things you need. 1.boost sensor(2bar) 2.solenoid 3.power fc
In one of the configuration the boost pressure sensor and solenoid is wired together and that's is why I need to know 3pin or 5pin.
OP you can get it working and I'll help, if you like. Then you must edit your thread and in you own words, explain how it was done for the other members
I recommend the 2bar sensor for PFC, but I've wired both. The 3bar sensor is recommended for the AVC-R.
It's not really chasebays fault, OP purchased something before he did the research and chasebay may be selling this as a replacement item and may not know how it installs separately or as a modular project and the OP may have to spend more money on the boost controller kit, just for the harness if he follows the wrong instructions. My services cost money, yes. if I'm to build you a plug and play solution. The service is free for walk throughs, techtalk help, guiding or whatever else I can do while not sober.
So, about the above mentioned nonsense. Not everything is black and white, sometimes it's primer!;)

Our Boost Solenoid has a Deutsch connector for easy disconnect and is loomed like our engine harnesses. Thus an already great looking item that our customers only have to hook up to 12v and pin at the ECU. Its meant to be a replacement or add on for boost by gear.
On our kit the Red wire goes to switched 12v source and the White/Green wire goes to Pin 111 on S13 SR20DET 64P ECU connector.

Just read some of the posts. It seems to me that all you need to so is convert to Speed Density. That pressure sensor is a MAP sensor, same thing. You can use any MAP/Pressure sensor. Don't buy that $349.99 kit, you already have half of that. Do you have a L Jetro or D Jetro Apexi? Post the part # if you're unsure.
