Install solenoid FN2 ECU 2007

Post by tiozes »

hi, I'm riding my turbo FN2 and wanted to put the solenoid to control the pressure, but it seems it FN2 ECU does not have that option, so I could confirm?

Because I bought a controller apexi avc-r.

regards

I you have an Apexi AVC-R why you not just use it to control boost pressure?

All Race FN2 calibrations have boost control.

Highlights saw on a forum, you can not install the solenoid and the ECU had to put another.

you are sure that boost controller will work on FN2 2007?

Should I connect solenoid's wire to pin B2 + ?

i should change Type R ECU to FA5 Civic in order to get boost control? This is because FN2 Type R does not have it.

add

i disconected B2 from ECU and feed it with 12V to boost solenoid. TIAL Wastegate cameras are working properly and ECU limits revs by boost data.

The ECU you have should work to control boost when wired correctly. One wire on the solenoid goes to ground, the other goes to B2 on the ECU. Make sure that it is no longer connected to whatever it went to and just from the ECU to the solenoid.

solenoid is not original, it can be a problem?

Please contact CPL Racing in the UK and check with them to see if the RSP ECU has this circuitry. We do not have these ECUs in the states to be able to test.

I checked another turbo fn2 at ECU 37820-rsp-e02
B2 boost control does not work with it too.

Here in Europe there are several models of ecu for FN2
37820-rsp-e03
37820-rsp-e12

I will try to find them

and here is interesting moment in england version of FN2 turbo

FN2 ECUs do not have the necessary circuitry. We use US Civic SI ECUs to control boost with this car.

I contacted them and got the answer
Hello

You need a US ECU but unfortunately we do not stock them, we have asked if Hondata can supply to us and they do not stock them either.

You will need to source this ECU direct from the USA.
If we knew before that FN boost controllers do not work we would order Flash Pro for US ECUs.

Hi Guys

Does the FN2 have the PCB traces of the USDM SI ECU?
If so can I not just add the missing components to the FN2 ECU to drive the solenoid?

We did that on the old OBD1 non VTEC ECUs to make the into VTEC ECUs.

That way I do not have to buy a USDM ECU and a new flashpro.

Best regards
Jesper

These ecus cannot be opened and modified as they are sealed from the factory.
