    I wouldn't connect the wires and power it up, that is a sure way to burn something out. You can stall it up in the driveway and see if it reads any voltage. The tune should be at 100% wgdc when performing that test. You can log the wgdc in the datalogger.

    You can also drive the thing and see if changing the boost settings actually does anything.

    i wish it was at the point i could drive it, its close nut not just yet, i, probably overthinking this issue at this point in the build to be homest

    ok so here maybe another quick test im might go try tomorrow.

    but i found auF2216 P0243  - Switch - Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid A Malfunction shows - no error,

    now if i change that to mil light and under correct conditions it will not throw a light until i disconnect it and repeat the same conditions.

    or i could bridge the wires to simulate a failed solenoid and that should also log the mil.

    Here's a tiny bit of help, the stock turbo boost control solenoid is open when powered off, aka gate pressure. You won't see a signal from it until the pcm sees underboost conditions or boost control conditions.

    so at a stretch if set desired boost to 0 in all tables that apply theoretically it would power at all times if it was able to be controlled thru my pcm

    Yes. it will have the logic/software for turbo. just might no use them. things like the boost controller can be ignored as it does not have the hardware to control it. but it may still reference the desired boost table, so it knows when to do overboost protection - things like that.

    ok so correct me if im wrong but basically if i have no voltage at my wastegate/boost control solenoid its not using it and then that confirms i dont have the 234 pcm

    Have you got a licensed version of pcmtec on your laptop? The Professional version will get you a long way. Nothing stopping you from doing it yourself. Public knowledge is scarce for some reason but remember, you're not reinventing wheel. Infact, if you do go down the road of doing it yourself, please do share what you found. 

     Allot your conversion, all that comes to mind is a pats delete and a vss speed source change. Everything else would be common sense; garbage in = garbage out.

    APS-234 is gold standard. That said, you still can use an external boost controller with APS-231, but not the ideal solution. 

    Nothing to worry about with a PCM TCM mismatch, that is easy fixed without even trying. I've found so long as PCM is APS-234 and TCM OSID is the same (2008-2014 or there abouts) I've found any cal can be written to the TCM and all is required is a calibration level scalar change on the PCM side.

    i have pcmtec professional so i can play around in there and learn what i can and cant do to it. 

    i had the wiring loom all done professionally, it came back basically plug and play into my cruiser, all the gauges work, can barra works it shows what gear im in on the lcd screen weather that actually means anything. pats has been disabled along with a few others that dont seem to be needed, the engine starts and runs quiet well.

    i was doing some digging in the pcm and i found it has the scalers for tubo wastegate solenoid and turbo logic also boost etc, if it was a non turbo ecm would i be seeing them in pcmtec?

    ok so i have done a converson to my 105 landcruiser and put an fg na engine in it with zf auto and have turbo charged it, i have used an fg intake manifold, f6 injectors, had the inlet boost sensor fitted and boost control solenoid wired in, all wiring was done professionally engine starts and runs no issue.

    when i purchased the engine and trans it had no ecu at all, so i purchased what i was told was an fg xr6 turbo computer and engine/ trans loom, i sourced the rest of the wrining from a scrapped fg.

    also running canbarra interface for speedo etc

    now i have just downloaded the pcm and tcm file on pcmtec today and have noticed the strategy is HAEE3A4 / A0AE which from my research is a non turbo fg euro4 sedan, so possibly has it been changed to a na+t parameters? 

    now my next question is because i dont have a tear tag or code for the original engine zf configuration how do i program the tcm to suit the na+t or if it is not actually a xr6 turbo factory but is off an fg na it may drive? 

    i have read and read and read on this on this forum i thought i had a good understanding until i actually started today

     

    thanks for any help guys

    cheers
