Tested Boost Solenoids

Post by **nate** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:19 pm

Lets get a list of tested solenoids together -- If you have a EBC setup please post in this thread what solenoid you used and any issues/notes that you may have. The eCtune EBC Solenoid is available from here: http://forum.ectune.com/viewtopic.php?p=1214 Thanks,

GM Solenoid: Works... Although i switch the lines to make it an NC solenoid. Cons: Heat sensitive!(to close to exhaust mani and it stops working, 15 cm) NC solenoid why? I dont like the idea that EBC has to work full time if you switch to an ecu w/o ebc you suddenly boost max

NO solenoids are the way to go for internal WG setup

Here's a nice place to install GM solenoid, under the side passenger bumper. No drilling necessary, a 10mm bolt hole is already there

i cant believe you use that type of vacuum line. under high heat those things collapse

Here some pic of the eCtune solenoid and it's vac connection to give some folk an ideal.

I'm hoping to avoid making another EBC thread, and this seemed to be the best place. I'd been looking to make a gear-based MBC using reed switches and magnets on my shifter (ghetto, yes, but workable), but plan on going with eCtune's EBC option. I think this solenoid valve I planned on using before will work great as well. Ingersoll-Rand P251SS-012-D http://fluids.ingersollrand.com/_downlo ... _Valve.pdf (search for the PN, p34-ish) http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/it ... 1612667260 It's rated at 100% DC, 12vdc, low-wattage, high CFM flow/cv rate, not sure if a 5-9 ms response time is acceptable, and has three 1/8\" NPT ports (N/O or N/C). Oh, and its only $28! Anyone else want to look at the info and tell me if there's a problem? I don't want to cut into the official EBC solenoid sales, but a penny saved is a penny earned.
