No, because BOV are used to relieve press surge that occurs when the throttle body is quickly closed and boost pressure spikes between it and the compressor outlet. Roots superchargers are between the throttle body and motor,so when the throttle closes it creates a "vacuum". They can be used with centrifugal blowers to allow a smaller pulley to be used, to get more mid range boost and bleed of the extra top end boost.

Does a 2002 eclipse gt have a stock bov?
It doesn't even have a turbo or supercharger. So no, it does not.
Does a BOV functions on a supercharger?
Yes, a Blow Off Valve can function on a supercharger. Basically a BOV is a surge valve. It prevents the excess air from going back into the supercharger once the throttle body closes. Most superchargers will come with a by pass valve which is almost identical to a BOV. They both are used to vent the excess air out of the discharge tube so you do not get compressor surge. They are not 'basically' the same... they function differently. You should NEVER use a BLOW off Valve on any supercharger, only use a surge valve. There is a difference, look it up. One is normally closed except when there is vacuum on the manifold at which point its open. Blow off valves will slowly damage any centrifugal and should only be used on a turbo system.... Call procharger if you like. Terms are usually mis-used... simiar purpose but different approach. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// You CAN use a blow off valve on a supercharger. Its all in how your system is set up to handle a BOV and how your BOV is set up(spring pressure) to handle the supercharger. Procharger was the place that told me to switch to a Blow off valve.
Does a BOV functions on an electric supercharger?
yes because theres 5 pounds of boost. but u dud need to do some custom work to have it installed
What type of supercharger is on 2003 mini jcw motor?
Eaton M45 roots type supercharger
What can one do with a roots blower?
A roots blower, also referred to as a roots-type supercharger, is used as a supercharger in engines. It operates by pumping a fluid with a set of lobed rotors. It is used in two-stroke diesel engines.
Can a blow off valve work on a supercharged car?
On a centrifugal supercharger(Paxton, vortech, procharger-yes. On a whipple /eaton- no because they are located between the throttle body and engine, BOV only work when the throttle body is between the supercharger and engine.
Can you put a BOV on your automatic vtec engine car?
sure, as long as the car has a turbocharger, and you source the vacuum/boost for the BOV from the intake manifold.
What brand of supercharger is on the Mercedes c230?
It's an Eaton M62 roots type positive displacement supercharger with an electro-magnetic clutch
Who makes a supercharger for a 4.3L Chevy?
Wynjammer is about the only company that makes a supercharger for the chevy 4.3L. It's a belt driven turbo style supercharger like a Vortech instead of a roots type supercharger like an Eaton or Whipple.
Can you put a blow of valve on a stock engine?
can you install it yes. will it benefit you on a non turbocharged or supercharged car? No. A BOV vents any pressure above atmospheric pressure (the increased pressure fed buy a turbo or supercharger ie boost) when the throttle body closes in order to keep the air from flowing back to the turbo or supercharger and potentially damaging it. in a NA (naturally aspirated) engine there is no increase in pressure above atmosphere.
Can you put a supercharger and twin turbos on a 2008 Z06 Corvette?
Yes, you can put a supercharger and twin turbos on a 2008 ZO6 Corvette..
Can you put a supercharger on a stock engine?
You can put a supercharger on a stock engine it depends on how much boost you run wether your engine can handle it or not.
