im getting a s/c for my birthday but i need to know really soon what setup to go with what kit has EVERYTHING i need
also how well does it work?
thanks to all who help!!

 

well for super chargers i know of only three setups for the xb : greddy. blitz. and Power Enterprise, from what i understand and dont quote me blitz and greddy add 50hp i dont know about PE . now dont take my numbers as a fact im not to sure of them myself thats jus an avg of all the diff numbers ive read. oh and congrats on the s/c wish i could get a gift like that for my bday.........im jeolous.....lol

 

yeah my dad is pretty into the box so its not hard to convince him into getting it anything

do those kits have everything i will need besides maybe a better belt

one last thing do you use a b/o valve with a s/c

 

go with greddy. it should have everything you need. the power for the greddy is about 30hp. The blitz is about 25. and the PE is a little bit more than the greddy maybe 40-45hp. But the convenience of the install and the price make the greddy the best choice.

 

b/o meaning blow off valve? no u dont use a blow off valve with a roots type s/c i dunno about the centrifugal type though, i've never actually seen one let alone put one together

 

soooooo the greddy..... i hear these s/c's have problems with the 06 xb's

 

can anyone inform me whether im right or not?

 

turbos and s/c are new to me i can figure most things out but im still learning about these all i know is really like the sound the b/o valve makes
sorry that sounds retarded but...

 

yeah they did im not sure if they still do or not i know that greddy was looking for a fix and they may have it im going to be calling them monday so i will find out and let you know

 

thats not retarded lol i like it too but since i havent really delt with much trubos and im new to florida and dont know any tuner shops around ima go with a s/c now which one im not to sure of.......

 

I do not think that SC have a Blow Off Valve those are used for turbos. I believe that a blow off valve is usd on turbos to hold the psi between shifts. SC don't need them because they get imediate power from the motor. Not sure if that is correct info but I believe that is right. and the greddy SC can be used on 06's you just need to get the differnt wiring diagram for the E-Manage.

 

superchargers use a bypass valve instead of a BOV

 

does a bypass valve do the same thing basically

 

any blitz s/c's owner out there

 

yes they do but one of them expels the air into the enviroment, the other diverts the compressed air back into the charge system. Volkswagens use something like this, but for turbos. They are called diverted valves and instead of releasing all the charged air from the charge pipes in the enviroment, it "recycles" the air and diverts it back into the charge pipes.

 

do they still make that sound or something like it
sorry im obsessed with that sound

 

That sound is an atmospheric BOV. Recirculation-type BOVs do make the same sound, but nowhere near as loud. A bypass valve for a centrifugal blower IS a recirculation-type BOV. They both do the same thing, allow the air pressure to bypass the compressor when the throttle shuts. A centrifugal blower could be set up to use an atmospheric BOV, but atmospheric-type BOVs are not the best solution for performance for blower or turbo setups. An atmospheric BOV releases the compressed air out into the atmosphere (hence, its name) which causes a momentary "rich" state at the combustion chamber. Since the ECU adds fuel to compensate for the increase in air due to the compressor, and then that extra air is released into the atmosphere rather than into the combustion chamber, the mix would become "rich" due to added fuel without the corresponding air increase. Recirculation BOVs or bypass valves keep this increased air in the intake area, but release it back prior to the compressor in order to prevent a surge in backpressure on the compressor itself, causing damage and premature failure of the blower or turbo.
