Hello everyone.. i put a blitz b.o.v. on yesterday to my xb with jdm blitz supercharger.
when i tried it for the first time it opened when i let off throttle and seemed to stick open. i shut off the car and tried again and it does not open at all. any ideas???

 

take it apart, clean the piston and the inside housing, lube it up well with grease. I use grease, but motor oil would be ok i assume. Is it a new BOV???

 

no it is used. i guess i still havent learned my lesson. first i bought a cheap one now i bought used. i did take apart and cleaned up real good but didnt have any lube. thanks i will try to find some or wait until i get back to work. thanks blown xa...

 

how does a blowoff valve work on a supercharger setup?

 

when you let off throttle on my style supercharger the forced air has no where to go . so a blow off valve of some sort was needed.

 

did you get one to work? what did you use, how did you get it mouted to the piping, i dont think the blitz comes with a pipe that has a place for a BOV? am i wrong?

 

yes it worked, i used an adapter pipe w/flange and cut piping out and replaced w/adapter pipe and mounted blow off valve to it. then i made it recirculate using a piece of the pipe i wasnt using because i used my cai. so i rigged it so the air went back in intake piping before supercharger. no it didnt have anywhere to put one ...

 

post some pictures pls

 

How does that work? If you've got a BOV, and boost is constantly being released when your engine is at 5k rpm (lets say) with no throttle, wouldn't your MAF read all that air going in?

 

i made the air recirculate. i dont have any pics handy.

 

OOh okay, a recirculation system. Makes sense. Does it still make a cool sound?

 

i couldnt hear it like i could w/o recirc setup

 

Isn;t due to the fact that not as much air is going into the "atmosphere"? Its going back into the intake/engine, so that would account for the lack of sound....

 

yes of course; i didnt mean to sound like i didnt know why it wasnt making as much noise

 

O, no no, my bad. I wasn't trying to make it sound like you were, I was asking for my own knowledge, lol sorry man

 

no problem...

 

me wantpics

 

I tot the blitz SC is a bolt on kit and goes straight into the intake manifold? Does it even go thru the BOV?


I hv experienced poor performance on HKS SSQV BOV on a TC ride. This only happens after 1 yr of use..initially very nice...the sound is sweeeet! But after a year...

 

What year was it? Because they just redesigned it in 2007, I have the new style...maybe they've fixed their issues.

 

really? cos after that incident I have decided to not put BOVs anymore...only external wastegates...yr i did was 2006..
