That is what I figured. Just wanted to double check.

Not sure on mounting location but near the ABS pump looks like a decent place. I would take the simplest option to do a proof of concept and then figure out a long term location.

Thanks.

 

check this out. I found it on the group buy thread for the solenoids a long time ago.

 

^ that almost looks like it would be worse than the stock location.....literally right next to the turbos


but i guess if those solenoids are made for those types of temps then it wouldn't be bad

 

They are not made for those type temps. Only way for them to last down their is with a metal sheild and thermo covering.

 

Julian how is your setup coming along?

 

Hate to say but it sits on the bench. My problem is that I have a perfectly running FD, so I have little incentive to put her under. In the mean time I collect parts, build sub-systems and change mine mind and do it again. So I build up a fuel system with brand new injectors reworked by RC, new lines, pressure damper, regulator, filter system, modified OEM fuel rails, but now I am stuck on the LIM/UIM. I purchased an Xccesive LIM and was very disappointed with the casting quality, undersized ports, uneven sizes of runners, etc . that I figured that JDM units may be better I know own 3 UIM/LIM setups and sit debating which to send off for porting and cerama coating. Even on the solenoids, I have lost direction first all 103's like Rob, now figure best 9at lest cleanest look install) maybe some combinations of 103 and 104's At the end of the day I will have many like new parts for sale. Too much money, not enough time.

 

linnadawg, nice set up! any more progress?

 

Its installed, mounted, and all the hoses are routed. Couldnt start the car today because of a cracked ignition coil arcing out to the manifold. I will take some pics probably monday and post em up. Let yall know how smooth and beautiful my turbos are when I finally get her running.

 

Any updates? I'd love to do this, it looks great so far!

 

I have a set of these solenoids for sale if anyone wants to buy em.

 

You have the original saaxyman solenoids or the ones people are piecing together? Are they new, used, work well, and how much?

 

They are the original saxyman solenoids, installed but never used. Life got in the way of my project and now they gotta go.

 

Those lil solenoids are pretty awesome. Great work

 

Do you have pictures and how much?

 

solenoids are sold, sorry guys.

 

Car idles fine thats about all I can say. Should have a cat in the next few weeks and then testing can begin. Just got the greddy boost gauge installed.

 

I'm gonna go back to sequetial twins soon(tm) and this solenoid system is what I'm after!

Keep the feedback coming

 

I need a new custom selenoide unit !!!

where can I buy this

 

Read the thread, find you local FabcoAir distributor, and buy the parts. "Some assembly required". We broke the code of Rob's system, but as I stated earlier I am not in the kiting business.

 

Why not use a bunch of MAC 3 way solenoids, same as a 3 port boost control solenoid?

 

thx

 

This is a great question, is there a certain model Fabco we can swap one for one instead of trying to simplify the rats nest?

 

haha that Y pipe looks like mine...all hacked up and shortened. except i rotated the mount 90degrees before welding it back together...makes it easier to get to the studs/nuts.

 

These solenoids will not last under the intake manifold. Its only about 300$ to relocate all of the necessary solenoids. Not a big deal in my opinion. Im sure you could mount these right behind the intake manifold on the firewall as well.

 

What are you talking about? These solenoids are designed to handle much higher temperatures (As long as you specify which materials you want used) than the stock solenoids.
