I am supercharged and have a Tial QR. Lets face it, unless you have your foot stuffed in it you blowing air off. I venture to say that you are blowing off 90% or more of the time. On the track not so true but probably at least half the time.

Now the air that I am blowing is not cooled(what is it 100 to 140 maybe) I am saying that because that is probably the hottest. Now in relation to the engine or brakes that is cold air. Instead of just blowing this air to the atmosphere(even if you putting it back to the air filter you are just blowing off to atmosphere), has anyone ever vented this for a specific cooling application? Like blowing ON the motor, or going to brake ducts. I was thinking of putting in a oil cooler mounted behind the front fender and in front of the passenger wheel(see it mounted here before) and run the air from the blow off valve.

I am just thinking there has to a good place to use all that pressurized air.

 

So you want to ise the air coming out of the blow off valve to cool your brakes or motor?

Well. You dont really need cooling while your standing still, and if youre moving, the air outside will cool better.

You could try, but I dont think itll do anything.

 

Blown diffuser? Lol.

 

Maybe I will just point it to the rear and have it push me forward.

But Really
There has to be a huge amount of cool air just being wasted. Everytime you are off throttle...wooosssshhhh
I really am going to run the air to my oil cooler when I install it.

 

I think the oil cooler could be a viable option, just as long as the routing doesn't obstruct airflow while at speed.

I remember reading a post where someone had their BOV venting towards the back side of their radiator cooling fans, and the air pressure was such that it bent the fan blades inward towards the radiator and caused damage to the radiator fins.

 

I wouldn't bother. I had a dedicated SPAL fan behind my oil cooler and did little to nothing as far increasing efficiency goes.

Also, by the time you route the air to where you want it to, I would think the pressure/velocity would decrease so much that it'll be ineffective.

Last, the Novi 1200 puts out 1150 CFM max peak. Google CFM calculators online and play around. If you have a 10x8" oil cooler, it'll see ~3000 CFM @ 60mph. The dinky little BOV has no chance (assuming it'll output all 1150 CFM when you're off throttle).

 

Thanks 99SH,

The place where the air cooler would go has no direct air flow so putting 1150 CFM would be fantastic. When the throttle body is closed the dinky BOV is the only place the air can go. And even if it did have 3000CFM at 60MPH I could increase that by 33% using the BOV air.

Mounting oil cooler in void behind front bumper and in front of wheel well.

 

Reminds me of a recent post here:

Aventador:

 

If you can keep whatever tubes are coming off the blow-off valve, or bypass valve in this case, as short as possible, and not increase the back pressure, which in turn could cause damaging compressor surge, you could give it a shot. I'm sure a SPAL fan, or properly designed duct would help a lot more with cooling an oil cooler or brake, but try it out and make sure to do some data-logging!

 

When staying at a friends house on a long road trip, I had the perfect use for all that bled air.

We went to celebrate our reunion, needless to say heavy drinking was involved. When we got back to his house he pulls out a giant double decked air mattress for me to sleep on, with no air pump in site. After about 20 minutes i almost pass out from being lightheaded and battling the urge to throw up dinner..... it hits me!

I went out the the car and just used popped off the BPV from the intake elbow and hooked it up to where you normally would un cap the mattress to let out all the air.

The mattress was filled in under two minutes.
