Not quite sure on this...may be a dumb question but..


Can you put a BOV on a supercharged car?

Sure, but its not going to do anything. check out how turbochargers and superchargers work on howstuffworks.com

I can't remember. Do the civics use a mass air meter?

If so, with the meter in a draw-thru setup you can vent to atmosphere. If it's draw thru you'll have to vent back into the intake side.

All centrifugal superchargers should have a bypass (or blow off valve).

been thinkin of a way to boost but i juss want a nice 250hp or so daily driver.
i love the sound of a bov and was wondering if i could put on a s/c setup.


been lookin at the vortech and jackson ones. i don't really wanna set on too much psi cause i dun have time to work on internals while i'm doin couple jobs. military and a club promoter and wrestling coach.

You would be better suited for a turbo, you can obtain good amount of hp a bit more reliable.

that all depends on the manufacturer, i have a conventional MAF setup (non blow through) and i vent to the atmosphere all day long with NO stalling or bogging issues

its all in the way the ECU is tuned from the factory, some cars have a lot of trouble (3g v6 eclipse for example)
while others can handle it just fine.
