Solenoid packs.

Post by Struth »

My solenoids on the T-Max have bit the dust, I think the long drive through salt water flooded Coorong tracks helped speed up their demise.

Can anyone suggest a good replacement set or a link to some sites that sell them.

Cheers

I just bought the hobzee one's for $135 arrived on time haven't fitted them yet but general conscences is they are a worthy upgrade last longer better sealed etc Since heard great things about the tigerz solenoids. Not sure if they will fit your t-max?

www.4h.com.au for hobzee's

www.tigerz11.com.au for tigerz

Thanks boys ^^^^^^^^^


I will stick it under the hood and custom wire it anyway, so it just needs to be a good solenoid pack.

Will check out all of the above but also have an offer on an Albright waterproof pack to consider ATM from a member.

Cheers

The original TITAN solenoids were the good shiz... They are no longer around, but there are plenty of people claiming to be selling titan's but i don't know of anyone who is.
The albrights are definitely a step ahead with larger contacts made of better material.
Value for money the Tigerz are good. Most of the others are the same as Tigerz at higher prices.

I'm pretty sure that Hobzees solenoid box's are actually Pauls from Tigerz11. I've installed a few of these, and have them on both my car and my brothers with no dramas as yet.

Similar to the Titan units, at a fraction of the price. Paul is really good as far as warranty/support goes too!

I believe this is the case also.

Similar asthetically, yes. But inside much much different.

Agreed. Great customer service. I sell Paul's products (at the same price as he advertises) and have always had good dealings with him.

Have a Tigerz and haven't been disapointed - took it apart to have a look at its construction and was quite surprised at how well it was actually made.

A couple of autoelecs also had no issue with its construction so i'm looking forward to a long life from it. I did however seal it with silicone jus to be certain.

They are certain MUCH easier and neater to mount than a traditional 4 or two solenoid pack.

P.S. the wireless remote also isn't bad value. IIRC $175 for solenoid and remote system.
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
