Solenoid valve recomendations
Turbo Mini Forums

I want a solenoid to use for two satge boost, basically just to isolate an mbc, I have currently a denso item I nabbed off a scooby, but that flows diddly squat. What other options are there? thinking std metro item, ford amal valve, or possibly even the anti run on solenoid???
Any suggestions greatfull.
Cheers

the std metro item only bleeds 4psi. I use to use a few of these for stage boost each one coming on giving me 4psi extra boost, worked well, but they are a bit heavy

this may sound silly but how do you go about this sort of setup is this something thats do able on the standard t3?

The principle is the same as what was fitted to the later metros (so woul be fitted to the std T3) , and it is adaptable to most/all turbo aplications, I would of thought?
Shane

ah ok this would involve the ecu then as currently i am running the standard acuator at 4 psi

You should be able to bin the metro ecu, and increase boost via a bleed valve, or a similar mthod to what I am.

N75 valve on the VW / Audi is a nice high-flowing unit.

i had one of those imprezza things but could only get 12psi from it

Im now using a cossie amal valve after a bit of messing around to get it working, imsure theres a better alternative out there

The AMAL valve is very good - even better once you pull / drill out the white/clear plastic restrictor in whichever pipe it is fitted in.

yeah i pulled out the restrictor thing, i dont know if mine doesnt work correctly but it is never fully off and always bleeds off some air

Nic I couldnt get any more than 6 psi from the scoobie valve.
How does the Amal valve plumb in?
Does anyone the know the part no of the VW/Audi valve?

apparently the Don uses something called Emerald M3D for staged boost,
whatever that is,

Yes Ray told me about your problems. I used the old rover anti run on valvles.

Snakeii, I had looked at those in the past but wanted to use the outputs on the MJ.

Matt, we talking something off a 220 turbo? Ray did mention just using the metro anti run on vavle? How much boost did the rover one flow?
Cheers

apexi avcr for teh win if you can fit the appropriate sensors i.e. an electric speedo drive and tps. bit dear but you can occationaly get them second hand for less than that thing on deemon theivs. allow for gear dependant boost controll on up to 5 gears. you can also change ramp rates so it spools up slowly etc. got one to fit to my mini but waiting on a new clutch.

well with a the actu set to around 10 pound, i could bleed off enought air to get 20 pound of boost.
