he's got too much boost, over-nighting some different pulley's - should know more in da mornin'.

no such thing as too much boost!!!!!!!!!!!

What would just letting the blow-off valve do its job?

Or does it create tooo much heat and other problems?

 

[moparracing]

i'm sure eric will chime in soon with all the particulars........

if ya gots more air than fuel ya do:five: :rock:

Haha, funny i was thinking the same thing as I was reading your post.

 

[ZCx]

well hell.......

been lookin for that power stroke that, i believe, was runnin 100 lbs of boost.

the engine is in 3 chunks

 

[SHU-DOG]

So where are we today?????

The system doesn't use a blow-off valve. The supercharged systems typically employ a bypass valve. The first type of valve opens to relieve pressure beyond a certain pressure, and the other remains open until the boost is needed (open at idle, then again during deceleration). This relieves the back-pressure on the compressor, which prevents compressor surge (harmful to the compressor).

Adding a blow-off valve with a boost controller is possible. I believe this is the setup that FSTJACK has on his red truck.

I have a blow off valve for eliminating pressure when the throttle is closed.

I also have a waste gate in the system that is CO2 powered and uses an electronic boost controller.
With this setup I can regulate boost to any level I want, with any boost output created by the blower.
I have complete control over the boost pressure just like a turbo would have with a boost controller.
The boost controller I am using is an AMS1000.

OK - so how do the waste gate n blow off valve differ?
Pics of your seteup to show differentiation?

Thanks SHU

A waste gate is used with a turbo and bleeds off the exhaust gases to the turbo to control boost. I just allows some of the exhaust to bypass the turbo.

...and the blow off valve bleeds off pressure beyond a set level at the intake manifold.

yes sir
