Hi folks. Does anyone have some good close up photos or their "simplified solenoid/ rat's nest"? I am in the process of doing something like the simplified setup on Robinette's site but would like to see close up photos of the new rack.

 

No one has done the simplified turbo setup and taken a pic?

 

Don't know if this will help, but here ya go. This is more of a custom. I removed some of the unnecessary plumbing and repositioned a solenoid. The larger hose in the middle is the (former) TB coolant line that was retained for my temp gauge sender.

 

Thanks. It does help a little to remember where stuff goes. I am looking to get a pic of something similar to the one on Rob Robinette's site where the solenoid rack is positioned behind the alternator running side to side instead of inline with the engine.

 

ill post a pic up for u tommorow when i take my intake mani off, i dont have any hardpipes and just the charge, relief, and the 2 turbo control solenoids.

 

Thank you. That would be great. I could just put it back in the original spot with the required solenoids but if I can put it where I can see it with the UIM on it will help immensely. Especially when I foul something up putting the vacuum hoses back on! Good learning experience though.

 

what kind of oil filter is that?

 

Purolator "PUREONE". They used come in that metal-flake color. Now they're a pale yellow with the "sure-grip" texture finish.

 

I have this one if it helps..

I have one that Garfinkle makes, I will try to get a picture of it tonight.

Any photos yet? Thanks

 

Like mine, too but I have the cool GMW fuel fittings! Ha beat that Dan! ...... O' Wait yours is running. Sorry

 

Where can I get this Garfinkle setup?

 

You need to relocate your coil packs some where they wont get heat soaked.

 

No I don't.

 

+1 yes i would like to know also

 

He makes them as needed and can be found on here and the other rx7 forum.

 

I don't believe David (Garfinkle) is on this forum any longer. He can be contacted here http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...splay.php?f=80 where he's an authorized vendor.

 

3 solenoids and i can get to them all when the mani is on, charge , relief, and turbo control.

 

I was so pissed when they changed to the hideous yellow color. They use to be one of the best functioning and best looking filters on the market...now they just filter well.

 

Hey, how ya doing Ryan. LOL...me too. Interesting marketing stragedy..go from flashy blue metal- flake to baby-puke yellow.

 

Thanks for the pics Hose. It helps

 

what do you do with the solenoid connectors after the solenoids are removed? do you just leave the connectors unplugged or do you cross them with some sort of resistor?

 

at the same time your doing the rack up grade you really should move the coils. There are two places to move them that will make them last longer and not get heat soaked.
