4 4K
5 GND
6 GND
7 Fuel pump trigger

You can double check with a multimeter.

Could also use the purge solenoid wiring on 4X or the power steering switch wire on 1P.


How would you check this with a multimeter? Would I enable the switch in MS and check for 12v at the wire or is there another way?


I've currently got 4K pinned for my boost control source but the wiring diagram I linked shows that it's also used for the TPS. I also have my GM air temp sensor run through my AFM harness so those pins are also used.

put it inside your cold air box.


if you dont have one, youre dumb.

Brain, what wire do you use for EBC in the AFM?

I use P for AIT, O for fuel pump, so that really leaves one...

90civichhb 02-13-2016 10:41 AM

So how do you get K to work without interfering with the TPS signal?

Braineack 02-13-2016 10:41 AM

why would that interfere? do you have an automatic?

90civichhb 02-13-2016 10:42 AM

They are connected at a terminal, according to the schematic I have.

90civichhb 02-13-2016 10:43 AM

I don't have an automatic but I do have a VTPS hooked up there that I believe is using the 5v reference wire.

Braineack 02-13-2016 10:44 AM

look at the wiring diagram again. you have 5vref wired to 2N. you dont have an automatic, so it doesnt matter about 4K, that wire doesnt go back over to the throttle on your car.

Does the red line not affect the TPS signal from the AFM connector and 2K on the ECU pin?

Quality penmanship fo sho.

I cut my image off too early. :(

Thanks for the help.

So I got everything in the car and moving. Setting up a decent target boost map was somewhat challenging. Open-loop stuff to start and I may jump into closed-loop PID settings later on.

Any input on torque curve? Load looks pretty linear and transmission safe to me. I may try to push this little 1.6L a bit harder in the future, but 12lbs pulls pretty good. Enough to make 1st gear somewhat useless.
