The one on the left looks to bolt to something, but where i cant remember. The second....I havent a clue either.





And this bracket, where does it go and whatelse is suppose to be attached? I have the turbo simplification mod done, or was done when I purchased the car, so I don't know if that info helps or not.

 

I believe the solenoid on the left of your first picture attaches to the UIM.

the solenoid on the right looks like it would go in the rats nest.

No clue about the bracket.

 

That was my thought on the solenoid attaching to the UIM.

I don't have a rats nest....simplified twins.

Is the second solenoid the one that goes to the fpr?

And I'm still at a lose figuring out where that bracket goes.

 

the bracket attaches to the oil filler you dont need it really.

 

The solenoid on the right is indeed for the rat's nest, but looks to have a broken nipple.

I think the solenoid on the left goes on the Air Control Valve, located on the inner (driver's side) portion of the LIM.

I still have that bracket on my FD, that solenoid is for the fuel purge/charcoal canister.

 

I don't have the charcoal canister as it was eliminated, so why do I still have the solenoid on that bracket, if both nipples are capped?

And I don't think the solenoid on the right has a broken nipple, not that I rememer. Pretty sure its just the one metal and one plastic nipple on that one.

 

Wow, it does have a broken nipple It was such a clean break that I didn't even notice it.

I took a better picture of that solenoid to maybe help identify which solenoid it is for sure, since I obviously need a new one now. It has those two plugs on the side and that is the only solenoid I see with that type of connection. I think it's either the turbo control, charge control, or charge relief solenoid. If I had to guess, I think it's the charge relief solenoid as it looks like the turbo/charge control solenoids are the two that are secured to the underneath side of the UIM.

Is the air control valve the same thing as the turbo control?

Any reason why the solenoid on the bottom of that bracket has both nipples capped? Is it just plugged in to avoid an engine code from popping up?

 

That's what you get for doubting me

I keed, I keed. Ihor is the expert on the sequential stuff to be honest.....

re: the solenoid w/the broken nipple, all the ones on the rat's nest (the main row) are identical, they just have the filter on different nipples.

Re: the solenoid mounted on the avc, yes, it is the turbo control, it controls the transition from prim to sec turbo.

 

I should know better by now than to even raise an eyebrow with you.

Well, now that I've picked your brain on the sequentials, I was thinking today that I might just go through with the non-sequential mod seeing how it's out of the car and would be easier to do now than later. Run the twins till they die, and go single at that point.

I'm still torn though. I just want the simplicity of a single without having to spend the money at this moment.

 

Nah, I'm definitely not an expert, just been around awhile is all

I will say that a *working* seq system is more fun than non-seq in my opinion.

 

Yeah, I've researched enough that I know if I go non-seq that I will lose a little on the fun-factor on the street, but what I'm really after on this build is trying to keep it stupid simple when it comes to maintenance and repairs for the future and thought going non-seq would be a nice way to clean up that area.

 

Damnit spandy how many times do I hafta tell ya, just do it!

 

no clue

 

okay... the first picture... the left is the turbo control solenoid, right is one of them that belongs with the rat nest..

next picture... is the purge solenoid..

 

Okay, thanks guys. One more thing, on the purge control solenoid, BOTH nipples are capped....why the hell do I even need it if the only thing still there is the plugin for the harness? Will it trip an engine code if I dont plug the connector in, is that why it was done this way? It is currently setup for simplified sequential and was done by a previous owner so I'm not understanding why a solenoid would be under the hood that is completely capped off other than the possibility of having to connect the harness to it for reason I stated.

 

Anyone?

 

Generally speaking, the ecu should get an 'evap' check engine code if that solenoid isn't plugged in. I could be wrong, only one way to find out

 

There is a stock code for the purge solenoid:

40 Solenoid valve - purge control

I don't believe the ECU will put the car into limp mode for this one. I'm not even sure that code will even turn on the CEL, it most likely will just store the code.

 

FWIW, I still have the purge control solenoid on my single turbo FD, it's one of the few stock solenoids I have left.

 

Sweet, thanks for the info guys, I'll play around with it when I get the motor back in and see where that takes me.
