Power?

very good looking car, roar of the V8 seems a bit covered by the turbos though. sad panda
-
It doesn't sound or act TTcharged... And no shot of the numbers but still nice car!
-
@blazzing4321 Its too bad APS doesn't make these kits anymore. TTiX and numerous other shops make good kits now.

Sexy

Z06 is so

Ok... I'm not going to disagree with that... But I will state that I wasn't ever really talking about blow off valves. I was mentioning more the delay involved with a turbo as compared to a supercharger due to the required spooling of a turbo, that is nonexistent with a supercharger, and I made a generalized statement that they are always spooled, thus always making boost. Anything else is left to whatever valving you have in there, and how its adjusted- beside the point.
-
@Tboninator They are placed before the throttle blades/body inlet and run on engine vacume .If you are in the throttle hard then closed quickly the preasureized air backs up before it is introduced into the intake plenum hence the blow off valve opens whatever it's set at. At cruising speed the valve is open because there is vacume and as you accelarate vacume goes away hence the valve closes. What do you think?
-
This is my understanding: more throttle=higher crank speed = more boost made. Boost is a measure of restriction at the inlet side of the valve therefor translates to positive manifold preassure(Boost). Centri blowers use Blow off valves just like turbo's to bleed off excessive preasure.
-
@Tboninator yes once the bypass is shut it would see pressure immediately as we have both said.
I believe we are going in circles I suggest we continue this in PM or email / IM whatever - if you want to you can PM me for contact info and we can discuss this in great detail.
This thing is super clean can we maybe get a video of it on the street

Watch this video and tell me if you don't think the turbo come on quick enough.

Turbos are always spinning as well, but just not making boost. Most supercharger setups have a bypass that operates under vacuum so it technically is not always making boost. Big turbos on 3.0 I6 Supras and 4 cylinders will always take alot of time. Turbocharged V8s are a totally different situation.
