New Vortech Maxflow Blow-Off Valve Upgrade for FT86 Supercharging Systems
 

As many people saw at 86Fest (and tried to buy our display at the show HAHA), we now have a BOV upgrade for your V-3 H67B Supercharging Systems. We had been asked by many of you for an upgrade to the standard valve included in the system, and we have answered with this all new upgrade that should be just like blow-off music to your ears!

Features & Benefits on Maxflow Race Blow-Off Valve include:
• Billet aluminum construction
• Large “rolling diaphragm” configuration with dual vent porting allows for quick valve response
• Adaptable to all types of boosted engine installations
• Can be mounted in any position
• Adjustable spring preload
• Mechanically retained valve seal
• Same mounting flange configuration as current Vortech Race Bypass. Direct replacement on VTA (vent-to-atmosphere) applications.
• Anodized finish

Part # on the upgrade is 4TF212-104. Pricing TBA.

Sick!

Wow super nice @Brian@Vortech

just a question, you say this can be utilized for all boost applications, what would be the benefit of running this on a turbo'd car?

How is the spring preload adjusted?

I'm not trying to bash, just interested in how this is different and beneficial for more traditional BOV (Sound is not important to me)

The valve is preset to open at four to five inches of vacuum, and is adjustable via the stud on the top of the valve.

Depending on the competing valve, the benefits will, of course, differ. The Maxflow unit is comparable to many of the well known and trusted brand units, and is superior to any "piston" style valve due to its rolling diaphragm design. Piston style valves must be disassembled and cleaned regularly, as they will accumulate debris inside of them over time, which can cause the valve to stick either open or closed. The rolling diaphragm design of the Maxflow Race Blow-Off Valve does not have such issues, and requires no maintenance of any kind.

Yaaa I was one of the dudes trying to buy it. I want it naaaoooww. Have money ready!!

@Brian@Vortech so when can this be purchased?!?!

Thank you for the answers. So I imagine for this we do not have to worry about any issues with having problems with the diaphragm (I had a few tear on my last car, just very bad luck). There's no maintenence at all?

Very nice....sure all the Vortech guys will be drooling for this...I know a buddy of mine is.

Im in for updates! Has vortech thought about making a CAI that goes outside of the engine bay like perrins?

If I didn't already install a turbosmart unit, I would be all over this.

Also, DAT NOISE. Louder than mine for sure lol

Very nice

i wants!

do you know when this will be available for purchasE?

Sweet. Was just getting ready to pull the trigger on a tial unit.
@Brian@Vortech, I see its a bolt in unit not a hose unit. Will it come with both sides of the flange and need welded or a replacement pipe section entirely?

I believe at 86fest Frank w vottech was saying its a whole replacement pipe w blow off on it

That's gonna be expensive.

I'm still down lolol.

Ill have to see the price. I get great pricing on tial, might be more dollar efficient for me to go that route.

Something something vortech wastegate upgrade something something ~9 psi @5k to redline something something.

Or something

Pre-order starting in the next dew days (I don't have pricing yet), shipping in 2-3 weeks.

It is a new upgrade assembly, direct swap with new flanged tube and all. Just like in the photos. That way, you don't have to remove the powdercoating off your existing tube in order to weld a flange to it, and then be left with a less clean looking, partially un-powdercoated tube on your car.

Would this actually help improve boost?

but does mean ill have to repaint my candy :w00t:

exactly any improvements in performance??

sounds fast?

A larger valve such as this one is recommended for people running 12+psi, but other than that...it is more for aural enjoyment than performance gain. The Bypass or Blow-Off Valve in a Supercharger setup is a function of safety, not boost. The valve is open when you are not in boost to relieve boosted air in the discharge ducting when the throttle plate is only partially open, or closed. The valve closes under hard acceleration (roughly 3/4 throttle and above). Therefore, changing the valve does not change your boost, as it is only open when you are not in boost.

We did receive many requests for a louder, BOV-style valve for these systems, so we thought it would be a great way to debut our new Race Blow-Off Valve! The new Maxflow Race Blow-Off Valve will also be available separately, and can be used in any application that does not require draw-through MAF style air recirculation. We anticipate this valve will also be very popular with our 2011+ 5.0L Mustang Systems as well.

:facepalm:

It sounds broken, i have never heard something "blow off" for 3 seconds as if its leaking. Is that because its a diaphragm and not a piston based BOV?

Superchargers, unlike e-chargers and turbos, maintain their boost after letting off the throttle, and generate it anytime the engine is running, this should not be needed to be explained to you, you would be better suited to be in a thread about phantom charge developing on a battery and how to prevent it. (Just giving you a heads up, it can't.)

Yes. As long as your talking about my something something post, makes the supercharger act more like a PD when comparing dyno graphs for torque.

Hey im just spreading the love to some other threads :)

The phantom system does not need this as the electric motor controller actually "Brakes" the compressor as soon as you let off the throttle, preventing surge.

So... just giving you a heads up, it doesnt need this and we have already fixed it!

Awesome!

Phantom charge, known on the east coast as ghost charge is how a battery retains a memory where it thinks its fully charged but completely dead (or near dead) the idea is with every recharge cycle the battery is only thermally capable of holding 99.9% of its original load. (Look up dead Prius)

It's just humorous that your echarger decided to name themselves phantom chargers.

Every FI system has its draw backs.

Oh I misunderstood you then, I apologize my bad. Anyway you are right about the draw backs. To each their own.

Cheers

hey brian are you guys thinking of releasing an add on that can control boost? I want to run the 12 psi on pump gas and would like something that can limit the boost to 9 psi.

When will we know pre order is available?

We'll be sure to post in this thread when it's available. If Brian@Vortech forgets, I'll remind you guys & kick him! Haha.

Beautiful!! Soon as I see something I'm buying one! Do we call you guys errrr

We'll put the number for our Sales Dept. Or give us your contact info & we'll forward it to our little minions! :thumbsup:
