BOV offen oder 50:50
@all
die anreicherung des Gemisches, welches vorher gemessen wurde beträgt bei einem offenen Ventil gerade mal 12% und bei einem rezierkulierenden ganze 6%. Welche ECU soll das heutzutage nicht verkraften??? Dies sind minimale Werte die vollkommen in der Toleranz bleiben!
Ich kenne weltweit keinen der mit einem offenen BOV irgendwelche Probleme noch Schäden am Motor, Kerzen, bzw Luftmassenmesser hatte, eher bei ölgetränkten Lufi`s!!!!!!!!!
Wenn ein BOV z.B 50% der Ladeluft zum Turbo nicht zurückführt, dann muss auch das Turbinenrad 50% der rückgeführten Ladeluft nicht auffassen und reagiert somit schneller auf Gaswechsel und das Turboloch wird geschlossen.
Also, ein BOV macht nicht nur ZISCH......
Wenn die ECU ins Notlaufprogramm schalteten würde, kann man ja ganz leicht bei seinem Dealer an der ecke feststellen lassen..

The fact that you're visiting this website means you're a "go fast" enthusiast like me!
I've been in engineering for 22 years, including 10 years manufacturing components for the automotive market including OEM "Original Equipment Manufacturers"
And you know, ever since I started tinkering with my Mini Cooper S in the 80's, I've been pushing the limits and getting the most out of high performance 4 Cylinder engines.
When I got my WRX in 1997, I really got serious!
At first, I bought components "off the shelf" ... most were imported and extremely expensive ... and some Australian-made ones too ... but NOTHING came even close to the quality I knew they should be ... they were either made of inferior materials, or generally poor workmanship ... or BOTH!
So I started designing, testing and developing GO FAST BITS ... a range of pulley kits and highly engineered innovative blow-off valves ... using the very best aerospace-quality alloys.
GO FAST BITS products are proudly Australian ... and our research and development is going on all the time to develop even more high performance products. We're leading the world in this area of turbo technology ... Just read what our customers say!
And GO FAST BITS look great too ... under your bonnet will look clean and mean! Enjoy surfing our website. We look forward to helping you put a lot more under your bonnet than a turbo that scares the pants off a pedestrian at 50 metres!

GFB Blow-Off Valves are the only valves on the market to boast these unique features:
· The brass piston features a taper that in the closed position seats against an acetal seal that means it WILL NOT LEAK under boost. The bore also features a quad-ring seal to maintain the integrity of the vacuum signal that opens the valve for quick reaction. All the other valves in this class rely on the diameter of the piston for sealing, and after a while the wear associated with the operation of the valve will increase the amount of air that leaks out through the bore.
· During operation the piston of a blow-off valve shuts rapidly onto the stop, where the acetal seal in the GFB valve cushions the impact. Other valves do not have this feature, and eventually the soft brass piston can become severely damaged, causing jamming problems due to brass flakes.
· GFB Blow-Off Valves are physically smaller whilst retaining the same high airflow characteristics of other valves, however the smaller size means they are more suited to modern engine bays.
· GFB Blow-Off Valves are versatile. They can be mounted in two different ways, either as a push fit inside the factory rubber hoses with a variety of different sized fittings to suit all turbo vehicles, or they can be mounted onto a 1 inch O.D. steel or alloy pipe.
· The piston uses less material for low inertia, which translates to a faster response time.
Why Fit a GFB High Performance Blow-Off Valve?
Four reasons:
1) Driveability
2) Fuel efficiency
3) Boosting up applications (factory valves can leak like a sieve!)
4) The noise!
And How Does a GFB Valve Do All Of This?
1-2) Most turbo cars have some form of factory blow off valve (sometimes referred to as bypass or anti-surge valves), most of which dump the excess turbo pressure back into the inlet to reduce or eliminate the associated noise. It is common for factory valves to open at very slight vacuum signals, meaning that whenever your manifold pressure is not experiencing boost, the valve is wide open and is recirculating a significant amount of air from the turbo's outlet to it's inlet. This means that for about 95% of the time that you are driving your car, the turbo is trying to generate boost but can't until the valve shuts. In this condition you might as well take the turbo off the car!
If a slight throttle increase is made (say to maintain speed on a freeway up a small rise) and the manifold pressure makes the transition from vacuum to boost, the valve closes. So the rather significant amount of air that has been pumped around in circles by the turbo is now pressurised and directed at the engine. The end result is an annoying surge that makes freeway speeds difficult to maintain.
A GFB Blow Off Valve uses the correct spring pressure to keep the valve closed until it is needed, so that the turbo's energy is not going to waste at light throttle applications. End result? You now use less throttle to drive the car around for the 95% of the time that is not spent on boost, meaning better fuel economy.
3) A factory blow off valve is only designed to cope with factory levels of power, and tests performed on a variety of them show that they leak significantly at boost pressures as low as 3psi! Why waste that boost? It is also important to realise that a small boost increase of 2-3psi will quite dramatically increase the speed of the turbo and the airflow passing through it, and it is almost certain that a factory valve will not be able to vent the required volume quickly enough to prevent damage to the turbo.
Quite often a factory valve will be undersized, and will compensate by staying open for ridiculous periods of time. GFB Blow-Off Valves utilize an acetal seal in the closed position to ensure NO LEAKS under boosted up conditions, and the generous porting will easily vent larger quantities of air more rapidly. The spring pressure is also adjustable to enable the valve to be tuned to the boost level being run.
4) If you want people to know that you are driving a turbocharged car, you need the WHOOOSH noise between gear changes! GFB Blow-Off Valves come in a range of venting arrangements to suit your needs. Choose from the silent operation of the plumb back model, to the ear-shattering twin trumpet Bovus Maximus. Or for the best of both worlds in cars with airflow meters the hybrid allows some air to be plumbed back to keep the ECU happy, while still gracing pedestrians with that distinctive roar!
How a Blow-Off Valve Works:
Most Blow-Off Valves utilise a piston or stem valve, using a spring to return it to the closed position. The inlet port of the BOV is plumbed into the inlet tract of the engine somewhere between the turbo outlet and the throttle body, and is usually arranged so that the boost pressure pushes the piston against the spring. The other side of the piston is a sealed chamber that is connected to the inlet manifold after the throttle body via a vacuum hose.
When the throttle is open and the turbo is making boost, there are relatively equal pressures on both sides of the piston, allowing the spring to keep it tightly shut. When you close the throttle rapidly, the increase in pressure on the turbo side of the piston and resulting vacuum on the manifold side create a large differential, which snaps the valve open and allows the turbo to freewheel.
What Does a Blow-Off Valve Do (apart from the noise!)?:
The vast majority of turbo owners fit aftermarket blow off valves simply for the signature noise that they make between gearshifts. While that may be reason enough to fit one, they do actually serve a more important purpose than that. A common misconception is that if a turbocharged car doesn't make a "whoosh" noise, it doesn't have a blow-off valve. Almost every modern turbo car will have some form of blow-off valve, except that the vented air is returned to the inlet tract before the turbo to muffle the sound.
A good analogy for what happens in a turbo system when you close the throttle is water hammer in household pipes when you turn the tap off too quickly. The same thing happens when your turbo is spinning at about 100 000 RPM, pumping pressurised air into the engine. When the throttle butterfly snaps shut for a gearshift, that air (which can be travelling at up to 90 metres per second) has nowhere to go except back the way it came and out through the turbo. This is bad for a number of reasons. First, slowing the turbo from maximum RPM to practically zero in less than a second is obviously going to place a lot of strain on the turbo. Secondly, since the turbo has stalled, the lag when you open the throttle again is increased.
The BOV is designed to release excess pressure under these conditions to allow the turbo to freewheel, which both prevents damage and reduces lag. The noise is achieved simply by venting the air externally.
BETTER THAN THE REST?
Ich hoffe das genügt,wer englisch kann natürlich!
