Solenoid Actuators

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I've got a turbo charged engine which is also fitted with a variable length intake. At the moment it's still actuated with the standard vacuum diaphragm but I want to switch this to electrical actuation at 5k rpm driven off one of my ECU outputs (it's a MOTEC M4 unit).

 

I guess I'll need a relay from the ECU to drive the solenoid, I was looking at something like this as it takes a DC input:

 

[small 12v solenoid

 

Has anyone done something like this before? Are there better solenoids out there e.g. boot release solenoids?

 

Thanks

 

Dean
