Is it possible to post either a photo or a drawing of a completed solenoid assembly? Would like to see how it looks out of the car.

Thanks!

I believe I've posted many pictures of the assembly outside the vehicle. I just hid some porting information for personal/business reasons. I ask for your understanding =).

However, please check my build thread for additional and the complete process of the build if that would help!

Thanks!

Hi bro Good stuff!
One special request here. I live in norway, and my package will pass the customs. Norway has this stupid 25% VAT tax thing if you tag the package with value and goods... If you tag is as a gift, no value and write something like "thanks for the cables" in declaration form, i get em untaxed

Just received the harnesses in right now from UPS, and I needed to put the end-connector on for quick-disconnect.

I will be shipping these bad boys out tomorrow mid day. I apologize for this unexpected delay.

Once I have them shipped out tomorrow, I will PM everyone their tracking number.

Thank you all for your patience ^___^. Have a wonderful day guys!

Sure thing Ben.

Second GB should be much quicker as I got ALL the harnesses in already, therefore once I get the solenoids in, within 2 days it will be ship out.

Hopefully the guys from the first GB can post some comments, concerns after receiving their solenoid racks and give me advices to make future solenoid kits better if possible.

I am excited to send these out tomorrow once ready. I am sure the rest of you are the same!

Good night all!

-Eric

PS. Did you see my shipping request a few posts above here?

Also, can you include a drawing of a Rotor jumping on a piston?

I sure did! Sorry just didnt have time to respond. However just a side note, I've charged everyone 12 dollar flat rate shipping within the US. Yours might be a tad more. I wont know until they weight the package. But I will say this as a gift so they wont tax u =).

Sry, maybe next time I will include a drawing of a Rotor jumping n a piston ;-)

Anyways, here are some photo of the packages packed and getting ready to be shipped!!!!

p.s THERE ARENT ANY INSTRUCTION IN THE PACKAGES. I WILL PERSONALLY EMAIL THE INSTRUCTION TO THOSE WHO'S IN THE FIRST GB. THEREFORE DONT BE SHOCK WHEN THERE IS NO INSTRUCTION INSIDE THE BOX. I will have everything finalized and hopefully email everyone tonight, if not by tomorrow noon. Thanks all!

-Eric

Those look great! It looks like in one of the pictures that the first batch of solonoids has only two tube connections and the rest have three on their respective sides. Or maybe its just photo shadowing.
I sure hope I don't screw the hose connections up when I get mine!!!

Hah, yeah I believe it's my phone camera sucking LOL.

Anyways, I've make it so easy to follow the step-by-step guide with diagram it'll be a breeze!

I will finish up the installation instruction right now and I will send out the diagram with it to everyone in the first GB.

By the way, did any of you receive USPS's package tracking confirmation? If not, I will get them to you. If so, then it'll save me some time =). Thanks!

there wont be room to mount it under the UIM. I can guarantee you that =).

And the reason I remove it from UIM is to get away from the heat, hence the relocation =).

Is that because of the size of the valves, header, or both?

I understand the desire to move it from the heat, but I'm determined to not have to fight with anyone over emissions testing/inspection.

It's both. Once you remove the UIM, you'll noticed there are BARELY any room to fit these solenoids. These are pretty big compared to stock unit. However they out perform stock by miles =).

**** UPDATE ****

I just sent out installation guide + vacuum diagram to all those in GB list #1. Please let me know if I didnt sent you one in GB list #1, thanks!

Cheers,
Eric Zheng

P.S.

Guys, the installation will most likely have many grammatical errors and I will have them corrected sometime this weekend when I do get time around it. Therefore I apologize ahead of time ;-).

For those who might have Bailey's "original" solenoid kit and wanted to upgrade to this PnP harness I have, I am now selling them for $65 shipped within US. Thanks!
