JR are you all running any specials on your line lock kits your selling. They look awesome. If you have any more detailed info about them please chime in. Thanks for any assistance in this. also are they available in different colors by chance, I know its a long shot but you never know. Also is the installation difficult other than doing some bends on the tubing and bleeding. The wiring looks like it shouldnt be that difficult. Also how are they actuated. A button to install in the dash etc?

 

those look like summit solenoids. you can do the line locks yourself. you dont need a kit. mine cost me 60 bucks. its a dual solenoid kit, 1 in each wheel well. i wired them up to a switch in the car an presto. all done. they work great!

I think it's great that there are kits coming out finally. Only thing that concerns me about this particular kit is that when you disconnect the fuel lines in that spot, brake fluid is going to drip on the inside of the engine bay, instantly removing any paint that it touches. Unless there's some kind of trick to control it.

 

mo trick. dont get it on the paint. i disconnected mine in the same spot. you have to to get the stock nut off. just mount the solenoids first, make all your bends next then disconnect and go quick. wash everything down with a hose and your set.

 

Just found this - Yes - please call 805-486-6644

 

No bending required

 

Music to my ears.....


Price?
Whats included in the kit?




I'm trying to think of a reason to get line locks... and I can't think of one... other than I'd love to have them.

 

Line locks are a fun thing to have.

Our kits will be complete, line locks, brackets, fitting and lines. You don't even need to bleed the brakes after. Looks like we can start shipping in 2 more weeks.

Go turbo - Granatelli Turbo that is

 

Curious now, how do you tap into the system without having to bleed?

 

There is a check valve at the ABS and we are down stream of it so when we change the lines only a few drops come out

 

That makes sense, but, what about all of the air in the new solenoid and line? You have to get that out some how.

 

You just recite a Wiccan chant and the air disappears!

 

hahaha

 

I'm confused. It says on the GR website: "Installation takes 1-hour (brake line modifications & bleeding of brakes by qualified brake technician)"- do the breaks need to be bled or not?

 

You ae right that makes sense - I need to ask my engineer in the back. I guess we have changed the part on and off the car so many times the lines were as close to full as posible - so scratch that
- you need to bleed the brakes less

 

They need to be bled but it should not take an hour to install unless it takes 45 minutes to run the wires into the car

 

That's Classic!

Is it just me or is everything that Granatelli releases is advertised as "No Tune Needed" or "No Need to Bleed" or basically any way to make his product seem like it's a clean and clear advantage over his competition?

Didn't he even tell someone that the stock tune was sufficient for his Turbo, only to have the guy blow the motor.

I only say this because his products are clearly marketed as a "hassle free" version of his competition, whether it is or isn't.

I worry about the people who would purely take his advice and not do any research on their own.

JR once asked me, "What did I ever do to you?"....Nothing, you did it to yourself.

 

We need more guys like this on the board. That way the rest of us have someone to laugh at

I said I may have goofed on the no bleed thing.

Goob job focus onthe one guy that had motor trouble and not the other 211 that had none. Our turbo kit at 5psi does not require a reflash when combined with our MAF and injector set up. Just like our cold air does not. We have some 800+ CAI kits shipped for the 05-07 cars with order coming in dialy for 20 to 30 more. Not even once has anyone said they did not make power or they were not happy. It is actually the other way around they all like the system.

To each his own

 

Go ahead and get your laugh on...Plenty of people deal with nervousness and fear with laughter.

So again with the unclear posts. First you said you don't have to bleed the brakes. Then you said you do need to bleed the brakes. Now you say that you MAY have goofed on the "no bleed thing". So do you or don't you.

I wasn't focusing on the one guy, I was focusing on your advice.

To each his own is right.

I just don't want everyone thinking you know what you are talking about, when you make false claims, get called out, and come right back and say, "I may have to check with my engineering on that." Why would you make a claim about your product without being certain? (Please don't answer that)

This isn't my attempt to put JR on blast, it's just my advice to tell people to do their research first.

 

I agree always do your homework. I thought I explained myself clearly. Any in the time that S197 started his bash until now I already uninstalled and reinstalled the line lock on the GT500 and again it required NO BLEEDING - So I guess I will stick with no bleeding MY FIRST ANSWER. And again I will say in theory ther should be a slight air bubble that one would think should be bled out but the brakes are spot on
