DF... This would be right up your alley "freaky" stuff!!!!



see you next week.

Great information Steve (HeberRam).

 

[1dslram]

I will am going to assemble the parts and give it a try. This sounds good to me.

do some searching first.

1dslram, I didn't do much of a search for the solenoid (NOS) as I had most of these parts already. Before going out and purchasing the NOS solenoid, do some searching for other power activated solenoid that may have larger openings? I haven't tried yet, but maybe others out there would have cheaper ideas on that part of the set-up? The rest is pretty basic and cheap stuff. Maybe in the air-craft industries, hydralics & systems, auto hydralics, air systems etc. , anything that would open with power... If you were to purchase all the parts, including wire etc. not including time to weld on the couplers, I guess around $225. 00. The big ticket item is the solenoid around $185. 00. If you find something or anyone else that thinks it might work, post and we'll take a look before spending money. It needs to be some what heat resistant, can hold pressure at say 100psi etc. , etc. All the blow-off valves I have seen as are spring loaded, and open manually, or have manifold pressure assist to help open quickly... Remmember, it doesn't have to look pretty. . it's Monster Garage stuff... Once we get it perfected, we'll turn " JOHN TREIBEL" loose to CNC machine a cover for it or something cool to look at!!!

I believe I have access to solenoids that are larger than the standard NOS solenoid and at a lower price. I will be checking in the next week or so to get the parts where I can. Your idea I believe is a good one and I may be able to come up with other valves or solenoids to do the job.

It seems like it should work although we could probably debate the idea about a 7mm hole flowing enough air, but if it works for you great.



Be careful on the type of solenoids that you use, you must keep in mind that the air temperature there will be >300 °F and some solenoids may not last that long at that temperature.



On another note the Microprocessor controlled version of the Turbo Guard (Blow Off Valve) should be ready in a week. This addition is pretty cool, as it allows you to adjust almost every possible setting on the blow off valve (i. e. open time, re-apply cancel, clutch cancel, throttle lift, and time of lift).



The biggest draw back of the original design and Steve's design is that the unit will only work when the throttle is completely released to an idle position (or another preset position). With microprocessor we can activate the BOV from any position you want; say from full throttle to half throttle. The unit works by measuring the amount of APPS voltage dropped in a set period of time.

So - the 12 valve guys can't get the super-duper version..... we ain't got no APPS... .

I was under the assumption that only 12v standards have no TPS. So yes 12v autos still can use it.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I thought that the signal coming out of the APPS was a lot different than what comes out of the TPS on the correctly valved trucks.....



I suppose since we're only looking at peak and low voltages... . and since you can program your super duper BOV for whatever throttle position (voltage) you want... . my complaint is invalid.

How much more expensive would the micro-version be, and if for some twist of fate could it work in standard mode or are we stuck up S*** creek? Would we be allowed to ship it back on exchange?



Also when I checked the website, it listed the price as $675 CANADIAN and $495 US, so that sounds much better than having to spend over $600 for one.
