yes because theres 5 pounds of boost. but u dud need to do some custom work to have it installed
It doesn't even have a turbo or supercharger. So no, it does not.
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.
No
An electric supercharger is essentially an electric motor run off a car's alternator driving a high speed fan which attempts to force more air into a car's air intake. The idea is the same as a turbocharger or supercharger, the more air and fuel forced into the combustion chamber the more power that will be developed by the engine. The only difference between a turbocharger or supercharger and the electric supercharger is that the electric supercharger is limited by how much power the car's battery and alternator can supply whereas a turbocharger and supercharger is limited by the amount of power the engine can supply which is significantly greater in comparison.
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.
No!
The electric supercharger is supposed increase horsepower by the fact that it pumps compressed air to your engine making a real increase in horsepower unlike others.
Battle of Bov happened on 1848-04-09.
The term BOV means Board of Visitors in some instances, each operating in different places. The BOV in NC, primarily operates in NC State, as an advisor to the chancellor.
I can't see any reason that it would.
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.
Turbosmart BOV's are designed to improve the performance of the turbocharger system. They will not usually damage a car engine.
