High Boost With Stock Solenoid.

[daleb4u]

hey guys,

Im trying to modify the wiring on the std boost solenoid in order to get full boost ... I read the DIY thread but it was a little unclear..

I was wondering if someone can explain it to me in other words.. I'm a little confused as to which end of black wire (ground) i should be grounding. and also it also talks about a lead wire to the black wire ???

I know I sound pretty hopless and i would appreciate any help ..

if your unsure, why not ground both ends? or leave it, run your own wire on a switch through to a ground... then you can choose what you want

best idea is to cut off the plastic around the wire (not easy to do) connect your own wire, run it into the cabin onto a switch, run the otherside to the chasis... thats what ive done, its wicked

but what you could do if your unsure about which one to ground, start the car and try grounding one end... you can hear a click if it works...

have you already cut it?

[daleb4u]

so your saying strip the black wire run another wire to it into the cabin , and the other wire goes onto chassie somewhere.... ???

[DRD-00F]

yes... but you need a switch on that too...

your basically making a T with the wires... when the switch is off, it will act as normal, when its on, it will be in high boost mode...

so connect your wire to the stripped wire, run your wire into the cabin to a switch somewhere, mount the switch, then run the wire off the switch onto anywhere on the chassis...

get it?

and make sure to clean up everything, dont leave any exposed wire anywhere...

and na I havnt cut it yet

[daleb4u]

yeah thats pretty straight farword ... thats awsome.. Thanks

[DRD-00F]

no worries... i would have drawn you a schematic if i wasnt at work...

good luck with it

where is the best place to run the wire into the cabin from the solenoid??

[DRD-00F]

to wherever you wish to mount it...

find a place thats out of sight but still easily reachable...

there are a few switch houses on the dash near the steering wheel that were never really used... use one of those...

i know a place where you can put 5 that no one else has thought of yet... but thats my thing

geez you're secretive Doof.

just-drift-it: stick your head under your dash there are brackets all over the joint. i mounted my switch on the right hand side in the coin holder. the closest bit available for me is a bracket for holding one of the relays under the dash. even had a convenient hole for me to bolt a washer crimp thing onto

haha! i like to be unique

if everyone did it, i would have to get by on my personality...

i would be f**ked...

On the same side of the engine bay as the solenoid, but on the firewall, there is a rubber grommet thing that probably already has some wires running through it. If you run the wire through there it will come out in the passenger footwell. I found that a wire coat hanger helped pull the wire through.

with this grounding solenoid stuff, i just ripped it off completely n ran a line straight from cooler pipe to actuator, never had any dramas, that was 7lb all day everyday.

Cool so this works does it?? so you bypass the solenoid completely and run off the actuator. its better this way i guess so you dont burn out the solenoid but is it safe?? any opinions
