Hey guys ive been really thinking about this. i want to get a BOV on my SS now is this even possible. Ive heard the guys with the cobras and the M90 which is the same supercahrger we got but only bigger use DUmp valves. Can i put one on my SS if so where do i buy it!

 

Nope.

The Eaton Supercharger has an internal bypass valve. I think some of the older eaton units had external bypass valves and maybe then you could do something, but not on ours....

 

that sux i wanna go phsstT!

 

Yeah bro, we could go, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, phsssssssttsssstttthhtttttttttt. wweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

i have actually heard of BOV's on Supercahrgers, but like ya said, i guess not on this supercahrger? that sucks

 

The whole Eaton Bypass valve system still remains a mystery to us Cobalt guys

Once somebody figures out how everything works, we will be able to adjust and fine-tune the whole boost system. The SS S/C is set from the factory to open the bypass valve at anything above 12 PSI - if we can modify that setting, it will allow guys to push more boost - say up to 14 PSI stock.

I suppose it mostly involves the ECU, so if some company decides to make a "power programmer" or something of the like, then the SS S/C guys will be all set. Just plug in the tuner, and adjust all the parameters using the module - now that would be cool

 

On a centrifugal supercharger you could do that since the throttle is after the compressor outlet. Since the throttle is before the compressor outlet on our setup there isn't a need to "Blow Off" built up boost.

 

I dont need a BOV cause when im done with my SS there wont be any excess air to blow out the valve

 

Exactly. You'll find that centri blowers can have "bovs" / bypass valves (my bros friend's actually has 2). Particularly very large ones. In addition to the obvious, compressor surge can be a big problem on centris.
