BOV?

carlos · July 17th, 2008, 10:42 PM

Can i use my minirace bypass valve as a BOV? Can I just remove the hose from the valve to the inlet pipe and just blow the air out to the atmosphere? my maf is draw thrue and my IAT sensor is by the throtle body.

I dont see why it would not work.

if its a draw through you need to keep the bypass, if its blow through you can run a BOV but with a draw through you will disrupt the air/fuel mixture if you use a blowoff valve.

Im a little confused. When you use a bypass, you are blowing the air back into the inlet pipe, which is drawing air from the outside. I dont get why it makes a difference, you still are using the bypass valve regardless of where the air is going to. I was under the impression that the bypass or BOV was only there to relieve the pressure from the discharge pipe to protect the blower. Could you explain alittle more on the air/fuel mixture issue?

there are two types of wastegates,.. the kind that blows into the atmosphere, and the kind that recirculates. Some vehicles do not perform well without the recirculating bov/wastegate. Not Sure if it has anything to do with boosted stangs, but i know that a subaru functions better with a recirculating one

on draw through systems, the mass air meter is before the blower.. it measures all air that goes into the engine, whether its compressed or not. if you run a blowoff valve on a draw through system, once the air goes into the atmosphere the car will think its getting more air than it actually is and cause it to run rich. it will probably backfire when you shift and let off the gas if you run a blowoff on a draw through system, i don't know though. with a blow through the maf is after the blower and bov/bypass valve so it doesn't hurt anything to vent the air back into the atmosphere since it only meters the air that is past everything. if i'm wrong someone please correct me because this is what i interpreted from what chrisj told me
