Q: What is the AEM Bypass Valve?

Import Horizon Your Source For Import Performance Parts and ...
A: AEM's patented air bypass valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock in the unlikely event the filter of your AEM Cold Air induction system becomes submerged in water. The valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe and shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged, rerouting air through its external diaphragm to keep water out and air flowing in.

What is the right way to install the AEM bypass valve?

rd Generation Eclipse FAQ
The beaded part of the MAS adapter needs to be cut off. This removes about a half inch of material from the adapter. If you purchased your bypass valve while ordering the AEM intake from RRE, this has already been done to your MAS adapter (they cut it for you). The adapter itself can cover up to half of the bypass valve without effecting it's function. If more of it is covered up, it is not guaranteed to work when needed.

Why a Bypass Valve?

Magna Charger, Inc. - Frequently Asked Questions
The best kept secret in forced induction is the little known bypass valve. This small valve, when properly installed between the supercharger and the air throttle body, allows the supercharger to become extremely efficient in terms of economy and parasitic power loss. Our M90 supercharger uses less than 1/3 of 1 HP at 60 MPH cruising. The bypass is operated by a vacuum actuator control unit that is normally closed.

Why and how should I bypass the EGR valve/line?

_2
The EGR re-routes some of the exhaust gases back into the intake/combustion chamber. This is basically done to reduce emissions. Blocking it off will reduce the temperature of the intake since the gases fed back through the EGR are very hot. Lower intake temperature produces more power, but the amount of gases that are passed through the EGR is VERY minimal and probably won't result in much (if any) performance gain. The drawback is increased emissions.

How does this bypass valve work?

Conrad's RSX tuning Page: Tuning from existing Hondaata cali...
It is a butterfly valve like the one in the throttle body (see picture). The default is closed. When vacuum is high (idle-cruising) an actuator opens the bypass valve so that intake air bypasses the compressor. When accelerating, vacuum decreases and the bypass valve instantly closes. Intake air now goes through the compressor, building boost. More power means more fuel means larger injectors. However, in order to pass CARB, the base kit had to use the stock injectors.

What is the purpose of a bypass valve (bpv)?

Stinger Performance 2.3T FAQ
The Bypass valve (BPV) performs the same function as the BOV above. The only difference is the air is recirculated back into the intake tract in front of the turbo, not released to the atmosphere. The BPV recirculates excess air when the throttle is closed during shifts or deceleration, creating a muffled "woosh" sound. Source: TurboByGarrett.com - Turbo Tech101

What is a CAI bypass valve for? Does it work?

w w w . v a n c o u v e r c i v i c s . c o m
In the event of the CAI filter being completely submerged in water (eg: deep puddle) this gives the CAI a seperate "bypass" area to draw air into the engine, without taking in water to the engine - resulting in hydrolock (your engine is pooched due to ingesting water). Cheap insurance for CAI.

What are the differences between the Mitsubishi and the GFB bypass valve?

Flyin' Miata 1 800 FLY MX5s
Mainly construction. The mitsu valve is all plastic, the GFB unit is all metal. The latter is also adjustable.

What is the difference between a BOV and a Bypass Valve? How do they work, and are they necessary?

TurboByGarrett.com - FAQ's
A Blow Off Valve (BOV) is a valve that is mounted on the intake pipe after the turbo but before the throttle body. A BOV's purpose is to prevent compressor surge. When the throttle valve is closed, the vacuum generated in the intake manifold acts on the actuator to open the valve, venting boost pressure in order to keep the compressor out of surge. Bypass valves are also referred to as compressor bypass valves, anti-surge valves, or recirculating valves.

When should a standard air bypass valve be used?

SuperchargersOnline.com :: Frequently Asked Question
A standard air bypass valve should be used on all supercharged applications where the supercharger is making more than 6 psi. The advantages of using an air bypass valve include eliminating compressor surge (the noise heard during deceleration) for quieter supercharger operation, and reduced heat soak in the discharge tube and the supercharger.

Can Jenvey bodies be connected to an Air Bypass valve?

Components and complete kits are available to connect the output from an ABV to throttle bodies. More information is available on a specific instruction sheet .

Q Is the Allegra Valve thermostatic?

Frequently Asked Questions
A No its a manual valve but the 'Traditional' valve found on our valve page, is thermostatic and comes in a range of brass, chrome, and nickel. We are currently manufacturing a further range of traditional style thermostatic valves, and will be adding these to our range in September 07.

Q. Can I still get parts for my old valve Hammond?

PBSONG.COM WHAT THE FAQ??
Yes,.. and don't let anyone tell you it's not worth it. Nothing can reproduce the unique sound of the original tone-wheel Hammonds. They are classic collectors items and still get gigged all over the world. They do need TLC but the sound is beautiful.

What is a Bypass?

Bypass FAQ's
A Bypass System is a connecting duct installed between the supply and return ducts in order to relieve excess static pressure in the ductwork that is caused by the shutting down of all but one or two small capacity zones.

What is the AEM Compliance Suite?

AEM Compliance Suite Frequently Asked Question: Rule Sphere
RuleSphere’s Agile Enterprise Management (AEM) Compliance Suite is an integrated software solution based on best-of-breed software for implementing regulatory compliance and IT governance programs enterprise-wide. The AEM Compliance Suite offers a comprehensive end-to-end collaborative software environment that integrates mission-critical Compliance Oriented Architecture (COA) services.

Why is the AEM Compliance Suite unique?

AEM Compliance Suite Frequently Asked Question: Rule Sphere
The AEM Compliance Suite is unique in that it is based on the most important set of COA services that sustain compliance. It is also unique because it is based on best-of-breed and commercially-available off-the-shelf (COTS) software modules. These modules can be installed systematically and in time phases that match your resource constraints. RuleSphere’s goal is to provide you with a proven (i.e.

Reference FMC TSB-97-1R1 Q: Do hydraulic filters have bypass valves?

Filter Council
Hydraulic filter bypass valves if present are typically located in the filter head assembly or a separate component to the hydraulic system.

Q 19: What about the people who violate the metered on-ramp or HOV bypass lanes?

A 19: A red light is a red light, and everyone understands that red means stop and green means go. Generally, most problems will occur at the HOV bypass lanes. Usually this happens when a single occupant auto gets into the carpool lane to avoid waiting. The Nevada Highway Patrol will be responsible for enforcing the ramp meters and HOV bypass lanes.

Q. Can I use a bleed valve with my turbo engine when the ECU is upgraded?

RICA - The Ultimate In Performance Upgrades
A. No. Our ECU reprogram increases the boost, and therefore no bleed-valve is required. If you have one fitted, it will need to be removed before the ECU is upgraded.

Q 2 . What is the difference between OmniValves and VTEC and various other variable valve trains?

Omni Valves
Variable valve trains like VTEC and others can never do what OmniValves do because the valves in a variable cam train are locked to their lobe. AND NO Variable cam train opens or closes the valves any faster; ZERO, NONE NADA! And none of them sense cylinder pressure. They only change the place in time where the cam starts its unalterable cycle. OmniValves are totally different.
