New industrial solenoid on profec and bumpecut

[turboglenn]

Well, my profec seemed to have an issue once every other year with the solenboids corroding and sticking, so this year i finally got to replacing the greddy one with an industrial pneumatic valve reffered to as a "310 valve"

Itcan flow better than the greddyone, is much smaller and in my opinion looks bettter too. I just whipped up the mount in like 5 minutes so cut me some slack on it's looks

I also removed and cut the bumper cover and support just enough to expose as much of the FMIC coreas possible as well as gain some airflow to all the coolers behind the bumper in general.

Here'ssome pics, the valve is working awesome (it's in someof the vid i'mconverting now, or at least me setting it up and road tuning ittoday )

PLease letme know what you think (the red nitrous fitting is where i have the "vent" for the top port on the gate (i use a .022 jet in there now) and the right angle fittings are just to make it look a little cleaner..I wish we didn't have to run front plates in nebraska or the bumper cutting would have looked much nicerIMO

Are you using it as a boost controller solenoid?

Are you using it as a boost controller solenoid?

What else would it be used for?

yes,boost control... I'm also about to put in my painted carpet and install the SS clutch line i built from spare parts a while back

Just an update on a side note and not really turbo related but i gotmy carpet in that was gray and i painted black with "carpet and vinyl"paint, turned out really nice too, can't wait to actually drive and not be disgusted by the stained up spyder carpet that didn't fit a regular hard top body at all leaving part of the rear floor exposed..the mitsu is really coming together this fall

update...addedcontent



Thought i'd toss this in here since it was in the same day and same line of planned fixes/upgrades i wanted to get done tonight

I snatched the dirty grey carpet fromthe AWD donor car i used on my AWD conversion and hung onto itfiguring i'd eventually dye and use it.. Well last night i bought a can of "carpet and vinyl paint" and put a coat on. After being satisfied with the results i decidedtoget a second can and finish the job (there's still light spots but i've got a hal;f can to tought thouse up with still )

here's somepics of it installed., I started about 25 minutes ago and it started raingina about 2 minutes after i started (just my luck )

I finished it fast and decided to shoot a fewsnaps to share here

have a look, not a bad way to clean up some bad carpet or change it's color and definitely affordable,if my budget can swing it a 10 year old on allowance could handle this one
