So, I'm doing some math on this BOV I've developed, and came to a realization that at the same time that it is being used as a BOV, it can also be used as a pop-off valve for overboost protection.

There's a chamber that you can apply boost pressure to that will open the BOV while it is in boost. You can use your EMS/Chrome/Motec to control a solenoid to give this chamber pressure if your overboosting. Or you can use a pilot valve and do it pneumatically and it doesn't open until after a certain boost level.

What I want to know, is if you guys actually care about this feature, or if it will just confuse people? Is this a worthwhile feature?

 

i like the idea, but the only problem i see is when it pops, the turbo overspooling.

 

Better than a blown motor right? Could be useful in instances where the diaphragm pops on your WG, or it seizes, or a boost line gets cut, or comes off.

 

good point

 

Very good idea...you have a great product man. I'm officially sold on it now - I want one so bad. When will you start selling them?

 

with most engine management systems now, you have over boost protection aka. boost cut.

no need for a pop off valve.

A boost sensitive "pop off Valve " is not a new idea that is some major old school technology

 

Not integrated into a BOV. You always had to use 2 units. This feature is built into the BOV.
