Grover emergency air horns question

I don’t think 175 is bad for two horns shipped. That about 100 bucks less than you will pay for some shockers.

I can’t even justify the price of shockers. I got cheap-o siege engineering horns :slight_smile:

just buy one, trust me one is cool, two will just make you outta air quicker.
I bought one, with shipping to Italy and custom fees… it costed me something like $130.
Worth every penny.

I will try to post up a video and pic of my tank tonight

lol I thought you were going to blast that guy mowing his lawn.

the louder the horn
the honker you are
i say lol.
peace

Man I need to get a pair of those for my Lumina.

guess what i just got? yep another horn to replace the one i ran over. sorry for the bad pic it was taking with a cell phone on the firetruck while we were driving

i have been having some issues with my horn and wanted to see if anyone can help. First off i am running 150psi to my horn i know this is alot but its the only way i can get the horn to sound right (should only need 90-120psi). i figured out today that im not gettin any where close to 150 out of the solenoid. here is a link to the solenoid i bought. http://www.hornblasters.com/products/details.php?i=smc-1-4-in-air-valve

do you know how many psi you get out of the solenoid?

no i dont know the exact number but i can hold my finger over the hole on the solenoid with no prob

Eheh sorry man, my reply was not for you :stuck_out_tongue:

yea it was i have 2 accounts superchrgdtc and retard i just dont use the second one cause i dont want to offend anyone.

oh ok… so… you say you can hold you finger outside the solenoid… is it the same before the solenoid??? i mean, is there difference i pressure before and after the solenoid?
Logically if it is the same maybe you have a bent pipe between the tank and the solenoid… and that would explain why that horn never sounded correctly.
Otherwhise you have a faulty solenoid.

i get plenty of pressure before the solenoid. it s enought to sound the horn but once i hook up the tank to the solenoid i get prob about 20-30 psi. the horn i have should only need about 90-120 psi but i have to run 150+ through my regulator to get it to sound when the solenoid is hooked up.

May sound stupid or odd but… before buying another solenoid (which i suppose it’s the problem) why don’t you try to swap it with the other solenoid??? If the problem gets to the other horn then you know you have a faulty solenoid…
Even if i’m sure we’ve found you problem.

i only have one solenoid

Ok, i was in a hurry and answered theorically.
So you have one solenoid and two horns, and one doesn’t get the enough pressure to sound ok. That means only one thing… there’s too much difference in tubing out of the solenoid.
Since you are having those issues i’d suggest to take all the system off you car and redo it in a better way.
Put both horns facing the same side (for instance you install them facing on the left and you can run tubing on the right side), then place a T in the middle of the car and place the solenoid.
Then tubing for the tank, and all the electric connections.
This way should work perfectly.
If you still have problems after this then it’s time for you to replace the solenoid.

Remember to use the same tubing lenght for each horn.

Are you running 1 or 2 horns with that valve?
This is confusing because I always thought a solenoid valve either works or it doesn’t.
…Or it’s sized too small and doesn’t flow enough.

Was it working before and something changed?
