Good evening folks!

Just wanted to give a shout out to Wazway for setting this up and getting it rolling. I've emailed my distributor about a new set up which will cost me more for the set up, BUT cut my labor time to almost nothing other than testing and packaging instead of me doing all the assembling work. Therefore, this will certainly cut the price from the previous GB. I hope this will be a great news for all of you.

I have yet to hear from him since it was Friday last I've contacted him.

Here's the process so far:

1) Contacted Distributor about new set up
2) Distributor will need to have a new solenoid system on hand, complete a sample with my request
3) Quote me the update cost
4) Calculate the turn around time after payment
5) Once determined, I will request you guys to pay me upfront with FULL payment via Paypal.

If you guys have any questions in regards to my system, feel free to contact me directly via my email @ ezheng86@gmail.com for quickest response.

Once again, thank you all for your interest in my custom solenoid system. I hope this product and my service will put a grin on your face from ear to ear!

Cheers,
EZ

Excited for this! If anyone on this GB would be willing to document their install of this system a bit (take some pictures, etc.), as an FD novice, I would sure appreciate it! I've been getting my hands dirty more and more on this car, but still need some direction on these things so as not to blow it up haha!

So trying to get 10+ people interested so hopefully we can get another run of these. I have asked him about a price estimate, and will update this thread when he replies. Lets hope we can get this going again.

Update:

Just got an update email with my distributor. He's finally got all the solenoid valves and fittings. So he will put together a system with my specs and wires pre-made. Once I get a sample of the unit, I will update again with it's function once tested.

At this moment, I am expecting the price to be below $700 at this point with 10+ committed buyers. Since my distributor just got all the parts he needed to put together my needs for this GB. We'll have to test it out to make sure it works. However, I do want to get it tested and be done within 2 weeks time frame. After that, then we can really get a GB going.

really looking forward to this as well.

@Azeknightz I'm sure the documentation supplied with the unit is sufficient for installation but is there anything I should be getting/preparing in the mean time? I understand you probably don't want to give out the instructions before we purchase.

I've been searching around and I've only seen Before/After pictures of the installation (with the rack located near the ABS) but I haven't seen walkthroughs or at least a parts list for installation in addition to the rack itself. I've been pausing the Regular Car reviews of the FD on YouTube to check out his set up (i think he might have the rack or something similar).

So questions would be:
What additional hardware is needed to mount?
What size hoses and length?

Great questions!

I recommend 25' of 3.5mm silicone vacuum hoses and 5' of 6mm vacuum hoses to finish this job. However IF you do decide to remove all rat nest and perform a complete vacuum hose job, I'd recommend at least 32' of 3.5mm vacuum hoses.

I also highly recommend bringing the supplied vacuum hose diagram to your local xerox store like Kinko's and make it a poster size to make this job easier.

Hardware needed: 2-4 screws for tapping into the location near the ABS.

Awesome News! Just got the solenoids from my distributor and got it tested. They came out looking great!

I am currently communicating with my distributor to have a minor modification to the harness.

As for the prices, it will be determined after I get the complete parts and labor from my distributor. Again, it will be no more than $700 for 10-20 buyers, and less if we get 20+ buyers. (shipping and paypal fees are not included)

Ive got everything taken cared of. However I am extremely busy at work for the moment, therefore I will try my best to send a PM to everyone that's interested with cost and instructions. Once I get approval for the GB approval that is, then we can get this going!

Cheers,
Eric
