Functionality

The Pressure Bypass Controller works by waiting for a switched input to activate the activation of the Pressure Bypass Controller, It then energises the solenoid to vent all of the air out of the BOV cap, causing a pressure differential between the piston of the BOV and the cap which will vent pressure from the intake system. There are 2 parameters that can be adjusted to tune the controller for optimum performance; duration and sensitivity. The green LED shows that the BOV controller is on. The yellow LED shows when the solenoid is activated.


 

Installation

Mount the unit away from any heat source and moisture. Wire up the unit as per diagram. Do not connect the unit to a power supply which will have a greater voltage than 14V DC. Unused wires must be insulated with electrical tape so that they do not touch other wires or the chassis.

Solenoid Connection

Electrical connection

Connect one wire of the solenoid to a fused ignition activated 12V power source and connect the other wire to the Solenoid trigger signal (Yellow) on the BOV controller unit. Polarity is not important.



Adjusting your Pressure Bypass Controller

DURATION: The duration is the length of time that the solenoid blocks the pressure signal to the BOV. The longer the duration, the longer the BOV will not have pressure supplied to the cap, essentially keeping the BOV open. 

SENSITIVITY: The sensitivity setting determines how the Pressure Bypass controller reacts to throttle movement. The controller will only activate on negative changes in throttle. The higher the sensitivity setting, the lower the negative change in throttle movement needs to be before the solenoid will activate the BOV e.g. a change from 4V to 3.5V will not activate the valve but from 4V to 3V will activate the valve. 

Notes
Notes
Sensitivity adjustment will have no feedback due to the switch condition being open and closed.
