Title: Rats nest FD3S
Post by: leon on May 08, 2007, 10:04:34 AM
Hi guys ive bought something of ebay a rats nest but in my haste i think ive got the wrong thing, it was described as a rats nest for an FD3S that had gone single turbo but as soon as i got it today it bore no resemblance to what i saw when i had the car in peices under a month ago!

it just doesnt look to be for the right rx7 model, im thinking it may be a FC?o.o meaning when i had mine off recently i had a complete differant set of solenoids.    or some of the solenoids on here i couldnt see - i know its a rats nest but im not 100% sure its the right rats nest.

the question im asking is, is this a FD Rats nest, or some other model. as stated the solenoids are differant to the ones i have under the UIM. (at least the ones i saw)

maybe its just me being daft :rolleyes: , ill have a better look once im home. i was expecting to see the turbo controll solenoid on here but i guess that\'s not part of what the guy threw in the auction.

edit- had a look and it was me being a birk :D

Okay got it home today and a good look and the turbo control solenoid is broken (nipple snapped off)  :( this was the thing i was after, thinking out of the box are the solenoids \'keyed\' in anyway or if i put one of the others in its place would it function correctly?
