Could someone please give me the dimensions on the solenoid rack, I'm ready to pull the trigger on this but I don't know where I could mount it. The SMIC crossmember won't work for me. Thanks

GB #3
1. Evopanda - confirmed
2. Durrell24
3. corymarc.com - payment received
4. stubba - payment received
5. Julian - payment received
6. Mrmatt3465 - payment received

I will msg Durrell24 tonight, if he doesnt reply before Wednesday, his spot will be open. So whoever is thinking about joining in, this is the chance. Otherwise you'll have to wait for gb #4 to happen which can take about 1-2 months.

6. Mrmatt3465 - SHIPPED

Due to lack of time MrMatt have on hand to work on his car before his deployment, I've prioritized his package and shipped it out to him on my reserved set of solenoid.

So no worries guys, the parts should be here by end of next week. And I shall have them delivered to you guys in less than 3 week period (if all shipments arrived accordingly). Thank you all for your patience.

And thank you to those that serves our country!

Merry X'mas to all of you, I will be away in vacation and I will have limited internet access until next Tuesday. Therefore, feel free to shot me an email as I get instant notification on my phone.

cheers,
Eric Zheng

Again thank you very much for your excellent communication and service! Eric is a awesome individual to do business with. All my PMs were answered very promptly and was even able to fulfill a farfetched request to get my solenoids at an earlier time. I'm ecstatic to be able to get these solenoids installed. For anyone reading this thread I plan to post a video of a lazy OEM solenoid KOKO test and another video with these super BA solenoids.

Buy with confidence! I know I did!

Matt

Thank you for your kind words Matt.

Like I mentioned since the beginning of the GB. Customer service/satisfaction is my #1 priority. I am glad I am able to do so.

I hope you will soon enjoy your solenoids =].

I finished my install on these and got the 7 up and running last night. What a difference! My sequential system is flawless now. Because I was doing the vacuum hose job at the same time I was able to eliminate the factory turbo control solenoids from the rats nest! So without further adieu here is my simplified rats nest install pics!!


I was able to eliminate this hard line manifold from the rats nest after removing the factory solenoids.

This is what the nest looked like after removing the solenoids and labeling all my connections. Excuse my chicken scratch and electrical tape/torn paper labels :P

Rats nest installed! That shielded bundle is the harness for the new solenoids.

More pics! I capped unused nipples for a cleaner look. I realize the nipples on the LIM are just pass throughs but I capped them so it doesn't look like I just didn't use them. I don't know it bothered me so I capped em! :P

I still have yet to physically mount the solenoids but this is where I routed them to.



Awesome system from and awesome guy!

Matt, thanks for posting the final product. Love the way you zip tied everything together. I did the same to my friend's FD.

Also, did you know that you dont really need to secure the solenoid system as all the hoses actually acted as a coushion holding the whole thing up? However I did drill 2 holes and secured the system down that way on my friend's FD.

I am glad you enjoy the system and I hope the rest will do so too!

Happy New Years everyone, have a safe one out there!

-Cheers,
Eric Zheng

****UPDATES****

Just got my solenoids in today. I was expecting the solenoids to be here last week but due to holiday season, all deliveries was pushed back few days.

Now, the harnesses has not been finished therefore I will try and get them here to me once completed. Thank you all for your patience as I will NEVER leave anyone hanging. Thank you all, have a happy new year!!! Best wishes for everyone =]
