BOV question?

[Lazyron007]

this may be a stupid question...but say you put one of those electric superchargers at the end of a cold air intake...what would happen if you out a Blow Off Valve on the cold air intake pipe?

...would it work or not make the sound?

Unless you're getting the 3-starter-motor electric supercharger from Knight, you DO NOT HAVE A SUPERCHARGER. Despite their vaunted claims, boat bilge fans just cannot affect the intake of an engine.Here's how to make it sensible to you: what kind of belt to real superchargers use? Roots blowers have a drive belt you could slice up and use on three 100-horsepower Harleys. Paxton and other centrifugal blowers use a pair of V-belts. A single V-belt can carry enough power to run your alternator with every accessory in the car turned on, and headlights, while also running the water pump, AC and power steering (although on most cars, this is divvied up amongst a few belts).Supercharging is NOT free power. It requires power -and not a trivial amount- to pump enough air for the engine to notice.The Knight supercharger uses THREE starter motors, and an extra battery -which it nearly depletes- for about twenty seconds of boost. There is no way you're going to get a supercharging effect through a 10- or 12-gauge wire as is used on the various fans they sell on eBay as being "electric superchargers". And no, you wouldn't have enough airflow to make a BOV noise. It'd make less foof than a fairey's fart.BOV noises aren't a goal. They're a circumstance of some supercharging arrangements. If your goal is the noise, here's the product for you:http://www.takakaira.com/acces....html

[ILikeMy240sx]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess you really want that PSSST PSSTT sound without doing force induction eh? lol!!!!

[Fifth ace]

This is the best question I ever saw if you want to get pwned.lol.

lol... If you want fake Bov sounds... check Ebay. They have fake speakers you can put in that will make the sound at the hit of a button. If you indeed do this tough. You need to be slapped.

well i guess you might be able to with the throttle closed and the supercharger still spinning it might build enough pressure to sound a little but not alot i think you wont get that pssssssssstttttt sound you want there is not enough boost to use a bypass valve they start working at like 5-6 psi
