Someone in this forum mentioned that they used a BOV (Blow off valve) with a supercharger on a 2001 IS. Does that mean automatics can also use BOVs and still make the loud PSSSSSTTT sound? Or are they only reserved for manuals let alone only with a turbo set up? Every freakin car in Japanese race videos have turbos with BOVs. Sounds so sexy dammit!

 

You can use a BOV with a manuel car as well.....see.....

Here is a turbo (automatic) with a BOV.



and another........

 

This is a very clean turbo conversion. Who did that? Toyomoto? XS Engineering?

 

toyomoto

 

I have the SRT Super Charger on my car and yes it is Auto with a Blow Off Valvue... it goes PSSSSSSSt.....

 

just checking, but what's the status of SRT's supercharger for the IS300 ? is it still in the prototype stage, or is it ready for sale ? is it one of those things where you have to be either near SRT to have them do it, know of a good mechanic, or do it yourself ? i mean, how many people have the SRT supercharger, that didn't go to SRT ?

Yes....he is correct...it is the toyomoto....here is an article and some pics of the car: 600 HP IS300

 

no the SRT stage 1-2 SuperChargers are for sale..... and they are bolt on kits... and they come with a BOV.

 

does the SRT blow off into the atmosphere or back into the intake?......you dont really hear it when it blows back into the intake like you would on a toyomoto kit where it goes to the atmosphere......Jeff

 

I dont know about the SRT sc, but I know that a Vortech sc on a civic will make a pssstttt sound!

 

blows back into the atmosphere now... and yes it does make a psst sound... I will have to get some sound clips..

 

ok i got a question...you say yours does...but does a stage 1 or stage 2 SRT kit blow off into the atmosphere?.....or back into the intake pipe?.....Jeff

 

Into the atmosphere...

Peter

 

yea stage 2 blows into the atmosphere as well as stage 1.

 

i thought the sc used a by-pass valve. which is better.
