Can you vent blow off to atmoshere on supercharged car?

I just got done hooking up my Greddy BOV today.. It is LOUDDDDDDD.. if i just drop my foot off the gas at 3K rpm, the whole street and then some will hear it bigtime... had a few people ask me today if i had a turbo.. The only difference is.. I am speed density so i do not have a mass air meter

sound clips????????????? i cant decide between a greddy or hks for my set-up i want to hear your greddy though...........u still running the stock 5-psi?
 
stock 5 for now.. going to up it to 10 soon as i can figure out my current fuel problem... I really have to get a soundclip soon... getting the clip is easy.. the camera just dopesnt capture the blowoff sound too well though.. it intermixes with the blower whine... Maybe ill just drive down the road and drop my foot off the gas at 4K rpm and have someone outside with a camera

your fuel problem is your speed density more than likely. i supercharged the car below and was having fuel cut out and rich conditions until i swapped to mass air
thats not true could be he needs bigger injectors better FPR/pump............speed density runs like a raped ape with a S/C.................but ooooh how do i love the sound of a BOV is it still that LOUD at only 5p.s.i? some say you would hardly be able to hear it and it wouldnt be worth it.......................but santa has a HKS SSQV on his list for me......................

Yes despite what people tell you, 5 PSI YOU CAN hear it! Sounds identical to a turbo car which make people stare at you everytime you shift.. It is REAL annoying at times when i dont want to hear it.. for example letting off the gas at 3K or above just to hear a dam PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH unending until i get back on the gas or shift to a lower rpm. I cant imagine how loud it willsound double the boost.

I think I am going to run a tube from the BOV and run it up through my windshield vent.

I really doubt it because i forgot to close my plug gaps from .054 to .035 and i think that is my problem which i will fix tomorrow morning.. My top end studder is in 1st real bad in boost.... 2nd gear a little bit.... 3rd and 4th is perfectly fine. I think the spark is getting blown out. We'll see tomorrow

I'm having a very similar problem and And AND! I've not touched my plugs yet either! First thing on the agenda today after I get my guages put in. Lemme know if it fixes your problem. :banana:
 
Alright there are some things being said here that just don't make any logical sense to me. But I know sometimes these things aren't intuitve so maybe someone who knows more about it, I admit I don't know alot, could help me understand this better.

I do get the whole concept of venting metered air into the atmosphere resulting in a rich condition, because fuel will be supplied for air that isn't going to be there. But wouldn't bypassing that air back into the intake system cause it to go rich anyway? It seems to me that when the air is metered and the fuel is added, the computer is expecting that air to be in that engine at a certain point in time. If you delay the time it takes the air to actually reach the engine, the computer has no way of knowing this, and your still going to get alot of fuel with a little air. And then, if you don't recurculate the air back infront of the meter to be metered agan, when the air does reach the cylinders after being delayed, the computer has already added the fuel for it earlier, and that fuel is already gone, so now wouldn't you have potentially dangerous lean condition?

And the other thing, I was under the impression that the PCV valve is a one way valve, only allowing air to flow in one direction; out of the crankcase and not in. Now I'm not to sure.. so which is it? and if it's allowed to flow both ways... whats the point of having the pcv valve in the first place then... wouldn't it just be a tube? If it does only allow air to move out of the crankcase and not into the crankcase... then you don't need to disconnect the pcv system whatsoever on a boosted car... you'd probably need to put some hose clamps on it so the pressure doesn't blow all the hosing off.. but the pressure shouldn't reach the crankcase if the valve is good. THe line from the TB to the valve cover is a different story however as this is just a tube... But couldn't you just put another one way valve on this line aswell and completely get rid of the whole breather cap oil mist problem?

what if you vented back into the intake track with a BOV?

You could... But.. Then you wont hear that BOV sound.

About letting metered air out and running rich.. Thats what a blow through mass air meter is for. Right now being speed density, i dont have to worry about that because i dont have a mass air meter, but in the very near future, ill invest in that. The look of peoples faces when shifting at a high rpm in gear at a light is soooo great! lol
 
serijou - you're correct on the pcv valve - it's little more than a check valve to keep anything from flowing into the crankcase from the manifold. It's origin came from carbed days when air MIXED with fuel could have found it's way into the crankcase; and if you've ever witnessed a crankcase explosion, well, they're not pretty.

As for the bov/wastegate noise - it is pretty cool I think. But you'd really have something if you could connect the valve actuation with a relay that turned on the neon lights under the car at the same time.... :)

Changed my plugs today to bosch coppers gapped at .035 and it totally fixed my problem.. no more studdering in 1st and second anymore!

:lol:

Assuming youve written some sarcasm into this post, I fully agree. Wasting time on making a ricey sound is not for me, or my non ricey car. :nice:

I did the same. Swapped int he cooler plug at the **CORRECT** gap for a blown application and my problem went away as well. :) Best laid plans and all of that. hehehe

it isnt ricey at all......................it is the sound you hear when you know you are in trouble i among other people love the sound wheter it be on a civic or a 25psi turbo stang.............................
