Installed pics can be found here

I'm planning on installing it differently:
Here is a teaser pic.

Also, Eric, you should consider doing the wiring like the pic above.
At least to me it would look a little cleaner and relieve any stress on from the wires when routing it,but that's just me.

I am really sorry as the first prototype they send me was correct and I had it installed on a car not remembering those were the female connectors.

Please have them ship to:

Eric Zheng
1101 Bridgeway Blvd, Sausalito CA 94965

And I will paypal you back the shipping cost.
Again, this is my fault I will take full responsibility on this mistake. Please forgive me >___<

That does look really good. That's also why I have a long enough harness so it can be routed loosely without putting too much stress on solenoids. However I do like your idea and where you are relocating it.

***UPDATES*** for the GB #2

Do you guys want to wait a couple more days for the new connectors to come in before I ship them out? I rather want to ship them out all at once rather then shipping them out twice with the PnP harnesses. (I already have them overnight it to me, which should arrive by midnoon tomorrow, then I can have everything else shipped out the day after)

Please let me know, thanks!

-Eric

Hey buddy! Small miss on ALL the PnP connectors?

Got a track on my package, the "one that went missing" ?
I think, if we can find it, and its in norway, if you send me the connector, and i can fix it with guidance from you

Oyvind, just went to the post office. Spoke with the lady and she's saying that they only update the confirmation if necessary, therefore UNLESS i pay for their international express delivery service with tracking number and all other features for an arm and a leg...

Therefore, there isnt much I can do. I am sorry >___<.

Also, I will ship out the new connector to you and will update u with the information.

Its not really a big deal for me, I have already replaced the connector with a male spare I had.

I'm wondering if they were wired correctly to begin with? I connected the wires exactly the way they were on the female PnP except now with a male connector.

If you just swap the harness side's connector with a female, then it should be fine. I tested all solenoids with the harness connected before shipping them out. Hope that helps ^__^

I think Sephek is the ONLY person that is currently installing the rack. I am sure he's got some information but not quite sure.

Can any of you guys chime in so we can have a group discussion here =]

-Cheers,
Eric Zheng

I had hoped to get mine installed this week but there was a snafu with the PNP wiring harness connector, so waiting on a corrected one.

I'll be going a bit of a different route with regards to the instructions. Since I have already removed all of the other solenoids (DT and emissions stuff), I'll be removing the rest of the rats nest and cleaning up under the UIM.

I am sorry guys, been too hectic getting ready to buy a house, work and such... got myself overloaded. I will have the Ys and check valves ship out to everyone asap today. And as for the connector, what you mean by it is mixed up?

Looking at the harness connector(on harness side, not solenoid side)looking at the pins:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

4 and 8 should be for X. Where as 15= E , 26 = H, 37 = F.

And on the solenoid connector side looking at the pins:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

15 = X
26 = F
37 = H
48 = E

My apologies as this is NOT an excuse for my mistake. Sorry for the delay, it is being packed and shipped now.

-Eric
