Does anyone know where I can find the male end of the vvt solenoid? I would like to create an extension since they are not made anymore or does anyone know where I can get a plug and play extension harness.

This is a Harnessed Performance creation but he doesn't make any speed parts as of now.

 

Actually... @Harnessed Performance is coming back also Eric at Mazdaspeed wire tuck is making those harnesses as well.

Unfortunately for us here, both of them are highly active on fuckbook.

 

Yea facebook sucks, but it works well enough for what I need it for. Instagram is worse.

If you are looking for true plug and play you will not be able to find a Mating connector for the VVT as the connector was designed as a "sensor only" connection. Me and several others have reach out to suppliers and even companies who are known for creating knock off but compatible no part number mates to things with no luck. China has not gotten around to developing a true mate. Which is why in my picture there you see it using another family connector that utilizes the same Pin/socket style as the VVT. So you would depin the VVT, use the supplied connector, and plug that into the extension harness.

 

Ohhh dear lord sweet baby jeebus! Glad to see you respond here!

 

I am terrible about checking here, but going to try and be more active. The tag the other night sent me a notification and I was like "oh yea, I need to check to see how things are going on the forums!"

It can be difficult to remember some times. I feel it. We try to push MSO on social media more now. Seems to be helping.

Back on topic? So what's the plan now? Can you just de-pin, rewire and re-pin?

 

That is correct. You would depin the stock one by removing white locking faceplate, and using a pick or jewelers flat blade to depin the sockets, use provided connector that utilizes the same socket/pin family, and then use/connect the provided extension.

Once upon a time when Eric was doing the extensions he was using the Main family connector (white face) of that socket/pin setup and to me that was too bulky and huge when trying to hide things. I suggested to him we move over to this other style commonly used with fuel injectors(red face) as they had a much smaller footprint. See attached.

But I think he still had like 40+ sets he needed to burn through at the time before he could swap over [emoji28].

I also need to make an option for the PowerSteering extension. That one is much simpler but holy crap was that OEM PowerSteering connector and absolute pain to find, and then learn there is not official mate to that either.

Does anyone know what pins are used for the coolant temp sensor connector? I see what looks similar on the front page but it isn't quite the same.

 

Isn't it resistive? If it is, it shouldn't matter.

 

Would you be kind enough to share where you got that connector?

Edit- cancel that, found it on Harnessed Performance’s Website

 

Hey man do you know if this connector kit: https://harnessedperformance.com/mazda/protege/99-03/electrical/knock-sensor-connector/

is that the same connector that's used on the boost control solenoid? I am in canada, and trying to find it, but the only place i've found it so far is ballenger and they want 7 bucks for the connector and 30 something for shipping to canada. i just want the damn stuff thrown in a basic padded envelope, no insurance or tracking needed. can you help and can you confirm it's the right connector kit?

 

I can check on that in about an hour for you, and get back to you. And yea that shipping is a bit high but I'm sure I can work with you on a more reasonable shipping quote. If you want to send me a PM with a good mailing address I can get you an accurate estimate.

Pirate Ship and ups seem to the best lately on costs.

 

Can confirm that is the same connector that is found on the boost control solenoid. So do you need that, or the harness side mate connector that I will link below. If the auto quote for shipping seems high, let me know and I can probably knock it down. Pirate ship while good, my auto quote tends to be a little wonky on the international charges.

no i need the other side from what is shown on your link. the one on your link is what is on the harness side, but i need a connector that i can attach to my MAC 3 way solenoid valve to replace my factory valve.

i'll PM you with my address and we can go from there. thanks man!
