NOT THE GM SOLENOID!

Im looking for a boost solenoid that has <u>threaded ports</u> and is inexpensive like the GM solenoid. Pulse width, 2 wire, 3 way.

The Greddy boost controller fits this description but you can't purchase it seperately.
The Apex boost controller has threaded ports but its $122 for just the solenoid!

Anybody know of any others that fit that description?

I'm looking for a soleniod also and I might just go with the apexi even though its a little pricey.

just wondering buy why not GM?

I dont think your going to find a boost soleniod with threaded ports for the price of the gm boost soleniod. there is a long tread on the aem website talking about finding a cheaper alternative. so far to my knowledge no one has found a cheaper alternative. I'm using the apexi boost soleniod with my aem ems and I love it.

But you can buy the GM for $13 at the dealer...its pretty unbeatable. My roommate just put one on his AEM in his eclipse - works perfect.

I have the GM solenoid, its works fine. But I just want a solenoid with threaded ports so it will work with the "Muckman kit" which uses SS braided line with fittings.

It doesnt nessecarily have to be &lt;$20 like the GM. Just not over $100 like the Apex. This thread is meant to tap the collective brain of Honda-Tech; to see what else is out there.

The GPO output is capable of pulse width modulating a solenoid valve. The valve can then regulate the flow pressure or vacuum. Typically these valves are used for proportional EGR, turbo waste gain control or canister purge. The GPO output is standard on the TEC-II and optional on the TEC-I. The two 1/8" NPT hose nipples shown are not included. Various orifice sizes are available. Contact Electromotive for help with your application. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I also have been searching for a boost solenoid with the threaded ports but that electromotive unit is 127 bucks too and for that price range I would just stick with the apexi?Unless someone knows where to get them cheaper ?I saw them on racetep.com

AEM now has released their own boost solenoid. It looks like a copy of the Apex solenoid just a different color. Has anyone used the AEM unit?

Ever consider the Perrin unit? Only heard good things about it.

If hes complaining about a $122 apex solenoid why mention the $80 dollar perrin?

Anyway these two boost controllers are the best out of all mentioned in this thread. All boost solenoids arent the same the perrin and apex are the ones where you see a significant difference from.

Yes thats fantastic. Do you have any information about the AEM boost solenoid?

I have talked to a few people about the perrin and the aem and have been told that the only difference with the two is that the aem has an all metal body while the perrin is plastic?

both tyler hara and me run the AEM boost solenoid (P/N 30-2400) on our EMS', no probs holding steady boost here on either of our cars.

retail street price is around $110-125

Here's the EXACT solenoid AEM sells/uses:

They are around $25-$30/each, might have a little bit of a lead time. They are anodized blue and everything like the AEM ones are.

Anyone have any upclose pics of the AEM solenoid? All the websites that sell it only have small pics.

if u have aempro installed, check your aempro directory inside program files, u will see a directory called instructions, look for the 30-2400

I have not purchased the AEM solenoid yet. But what size fittings does it use so I can run stainless steel lines for the boost solenoid. Anyone know what items I need to accomplish this?
