Who makes the cheapest nitrous solenoid??

Where can I order them from??

This isn't for my car but instead for my Senior Design Project at ASU.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!

i have some used nitrous express solenoids for sale... cheaper then new from any company.

Anyone else??

Check ebay.

if you want a sticky solenoid, check ebay.
If you want something thats going to last, spend the extra 30 bucks or so for name brand. There are sponsors here that can get you high quality at a good price.

Cheaper isn't always better.

Yeah a sticky solenoid might not work so good.

I was looking at the Edelbrock Solenoids, they're pretty cheap.

FYI, I'll be using these to control blasts of nitrogen around 500 psi.

Anyone have experiences with the Edelbrock Solenoids???

i need 4, btw so costs can add up quick

At that low of a PSI I wouldnt think a sticky selinoid would matter as much, I mena yes, one that is "dead" is fucked no matter what, but We worry about a selinoid sticking open with 1100 or so PSI pushing behind it, even with the bleed down in PSI, he is way under that to begin with.

need 4 of them and only needing them for 500 or so psi? do you mind if i ask what you are using these for? you might be perfectly fine with el cheapo noids off ebay.

thanks for the interest

these solenoids will control shots of compressed nitrogen around 200+ psi on a lunar lander my design team is working on. Here is a clip of the general idea.

Kinda crazy but the nitrous solenoids will control thrusters that will allow the lunar lander to translate horizontally.

Sounds pretty interesting. What does the testing of the system comprise of? Is it a landing only simulation? What are you guys using to control the system, controllers and thrust?

Well to keep it short.....

There is a main nozzle that produces about 80 lbs of thrust. The thrust is produced from a chemical reaction between 85% hydrogen peroxide and silver catalyst to produce super heated water vapor. The nitrous solenoids will control bursts of compressed nitrogen to then move the "Lunar Lander" in any horizontal direction once it is hovering. Everything will be controlled by radio control.

The challenges are getting the 85% peroxide as it is controlled by homeland secuirity...yada...yada Also finding funding, this total project should cost over $5000. So we're in over our heads!!! lol but challenges are always fun.

Also, nitrous solenoids have a 1/8" NPT outlet correct??

If you wanna see more vids on these "Lunar Landers" search on youtube, armadillo areospace.

Most generally have a 1/8 NPT. Any of the sponsors should be able to get you 4 smalls solenoids at a decent price. Shoot em some PM's

I would call a sponsor and have them test the noid at 200psi. most kits the noids are designed to operate from 900-1200. We have had noids not fire below 800 before. just a thought might be a better to use a smaller and "weaker" noid.

thanks shiznityZ28, that was one thought that crossed my mind. Currently it is undecided exactly how much pressure we will be using but it will be below 500 psi.

wouldn't you be better off using PWM control of some type of butterfly (or needle jet like) valve?
