Hi.. I was looking forward to install an electric supercharger for my 2 litre non turbo engine.This unit is driven by an electric motor instead of being mechanically driven.My question is if I can install a blow off valve in between the supercharger and the inlet manifold? Will it work?
Hey guy. First off, you shouldn't even bother putting in an electric supercharger. The reasons are the about of boost you are going to need to see any REAL advantages you will not get from an elec. I suggest do what I am doing and spending the money to get a GOOD valve job and get everything polished to match and you will actually gain H.P. I have seen 32 hp gains out of a 2.2 I4 F2 engine from a probe by just adding a cold air intake, going to a 2 inch exhaust w/ header and a good valve job. Incidently, I now run 142 hp instead of the original 110.
If it's the device that I'm thinking of. That thing couldn'tt puff my lawnmower. Like the answer before me, do you know how big a 10 horsepower 12V motor would be!
You don't need a blow off valve. They create only 2lbs of boost which will not get your intake out of vacume, let alone produce pressure. The main efect they have is they mix the air and fuel better for better combustion. Weisco did make a prototype that produced 8 psi though!!! Can't wait for that one.
Bollocks to the blow-off valve. In fact, bollocks to the 'electric supercharger'. These things are nothing but a con. Seriously. In fact they restrict the intake and reduce your performance if anything. Buy a real supercharger.
