Red Bullet VVTi Solenoids GB (Primary GB CLOSED)

Dyno testing will likely occur within the next two weeks. Once I receive the solenoids that @SUMOTNK has been so helpful with in obtaining, I will have them installed on my truck, take a test log both before and after the install and then take it on the Dyno to see if they are all they were hyped up to be. If the results are favorable then the chances are pretty high that distribution of these solenoids will be available statewide.

Results are pending. Now it's my turn to step up to the plate on doing my part.

 

interested as well.

 

ive replaced them before and only thing i had to remove to get them out and installed was the the intake tube and the throttle body. besides that nothing else had to be removed to get them out and in.

 

@JustDSM you'll likely be hearing from me within the next few weeks for log studying and possible tune modifications if these work out. I just wanted to give you a heads up.

 

@alvinfromhawaii so you don't miss it. What will it do, we shall see but we all want more power.

 

Can you add me to the list as well?

Thanks.

 

Add me to the list please

 

I'm in the middle of relocating from Texas to Utah in that time frame so I cannot promise that I'll be available. Keep me posted with details on your scheduled day/time and I'll do my best.

 

Should work, read the post with the info. Seems legit.

 

Anyone have a picture of where this is at on the truck?

 

Gotcha

Gotcha

Install should actually go down tomorrow. I just don't have the tools to get in there here at home, otherwise I would try it myself today. I just received them this afternoon.

Very accessible when you remove the throttle body.

 

Wouldn’t take too long to get in there. I snagged a pic a couple weeks ago doing some cams gears on a buddy’s truck and forgot to post it here. I’m definitely interested in how these work out.

 

Update: I just finished installing them and did some test runs before and after. I'm revising the logs and I can see instances where timing can actually be added which equates to more power! Upon initial impressions the hesitation I used to have off the line is all gone and tamed down to original OE driveability now and the feeling of "oomph" especially in the mid range throttle pulls notably harder.

Wins all around! I am going to send these logs to @JustDSM and have him revise and modify the tune as he sees necessary and see how it goes from there. So far so good!

I have a Dyno day scheduled on Thursday the 2nd at my local shop. My old baseline is before I did the E-Fan and the major exhaust rehaul, however, so I will not have a proper basis for comparison prior to changing these out. If I was where I think I was at though then adding some extra power from these should show up.

 

I’m interested. Add me to the list please.

 

@12TRDTacoma add to list please

 

@Athlaos you might be interested in this for a bit more edge if it shows promise as @12TRDTacoma has noted so far.

 

Now here comes all the interest.

I'll add you guys to the list.
