im very new to superchargers and have been wondering this for a long time and everyone i asked seemed to be more confused then i was.....can you upgrade your bov on a supercharged motor to get a louder "sneeze" like you can turboed motors? thanks for the input!

 

if your supercharger "sneezes" you need to get it fixed.

 

There was an "epic" thread just like this quite a bit ago..ill do some looking to see if i can find it for u

 

i knew i would end up sounding like a retard but i thought i would ask anyways.

If you want a louder supercharger, get an intake.

 

It seems to be like the supercharger works pretty well the way it is. As far as I know the M62 doesn't even have a blow off valve. It has something similar, just not a bov.

I just wish it was easier to do maintenance on the damn thing myself. I'll be buying the service manual for my car when spring rolls around, dealerships will never see me again.

 

my suggestion would be to read up on bov's (from a legit source, not on a ricer forum) and what they actually do, then read up on superchargers and turbos and what makes them different. once you understand the purpose of a bov besides being a noisemaker you'll understand why you wouldn't want one on your supercharger.

what is hard as far as maintenance goes? everyone should do their own maintenance, ther's no reason why people on a car enthusiast site can't do basic things to their car.

 

I read that! thanks! i guess he had the same point of view that i do, i think that would be awesome to hear the supercharger whining and then hear the bov blow off! but i guessits not possible! thanks anyways guys!

 

its possible, just not on our type of s/c from what i have read

 

I can do rather basic work on my car. Oil changes, all the filters, bulbs, gas and brake lines, brakes, etc. I'm just not familiar with taking engines apart. I'd like to change the oil in the supercharger every so often, repack the rotor, etc. I know its not really necessary, but I like to know that everything is clean. I've just never been taught all this crap, and I'm new to superchargers as well.

 

+1 same here!

 

yeah, just changed the oil and filter on my sc. Dontcha love the filter placement? Its great I tell ya. Down under the sc.

 

Oh yeah, I had a Cobalt LS before I traded it in for my SS S/C and changing the oil on that thing was cake compared to this. I still need a better extension for my ratchet. I keep borrowing my father's.

The supercharger is a self contained unit, though, and the oil doesn't really need to be changed often, but I'd like to be able to take it apart and clean everything.

 

Its possible. You need to twin charge your balt. Turbo boost into an sc.

 

would that be harder then hell or what?

 

le supercharger has a bpv.. not a bov

 

I used to have an aftermarket t/c kit on my grand prix, and ur idea is gonna blow something up in a hurry if ur not REALLY careful.

The eaton M90, which was the stock s/c on my grand prix, had a boost bypass valve. It would only give you boost if you throttle position was greater than 50% (stock setting). You guys don't have those????

 

bpv = by pass valve

 

^^^ what he said... and it recirculates the air... doesn't vent it to the atmosphere.. so no "wooosh"

 

Stop trying to force it to work.
D4u2s0t said it perfect in his first post. He didn't even flame in his post, I don't know how he did it, it was flawless. Take his advice and stop reading these other posts until you read up on it.

what you'll find:
>you don't need one
>if you want one, just go turbo and stop forcing it on a supercharger
>you'll hurt your performance more than it would be worth to 'sound cool'

 

type in electronic blow off valve on ebay, there like 30 bucks.. make the WHOOSH sound your looking for.. haha..

 

whine > bov. I like hearing the sweet sound of the supercharger throughout the entire power band, not just when I let off the gas and shift and it goes pshh. But do what you will...

 

i disagree...

The BOV makes me eat snausages.

 

hmph I like to eat stroodle.
