ATI Big Red ProRace Valve With 3" Aluminium Tubing Kit & Mounting Hardware - Open

3FASS-010
This all new ground up design from ProCharger supercharges will revolutionize how people look at bypass valves, this unit is the fastest and highest flowing valve ever created. Plus this unit is still easily placed onto a 3" tube for use in tight engine bays, with simple V-band clamp installation.

One ProRace Valve outflows any other single valve on the market and is our highest-hp bypass valve option. This massive flow capacity comes from a piston-style valve design (patent pending) that allows for a significant increase in curtain area over traditional-style valves, while still fitting into a reasonably sized package. It also incorporates a v-band clamp for an easy installation. ProCharger also offers universal vacuum blocks for superchargers, whats a vacuum block? A vacuum block is a component that provides multiple vacuum and boost ports for connecting various accessories and devices in a supercharged engine setup. (EX. Boost Gauges)

Importance of Bypass/Surge Valves
Applications utilizing intercooling and those operating at boost levels in excess of 8 psi will benefit from the use of a bypass valve (commonly referred to as a “surge” valve). In high RPM, low load conditions, the supercharger is still operating at full speed and attempting to deliver full flow. With the throttle blade(s) at or near the fully closed position, the engine is unable to accept the airflow from the supercharger. In this event the pressure builds until the flow attempts to reverse direction and exit through the compressor, resulting in a harmful condition known as compressor surge. Installing a bypass valve between the supercharger discharge and the carburetor/throttle body prevents damaging compressor surges by diverting the undemanded charge air to the atmosphere during manifold vacuum conditions. ATI’s butterfly-type Pro-Flo is well suited for applications making 750 hp or less. Applications at higher power levels are best suited for use with our poppet-style race valve.

Bypass Valves vs Blow Off Valves
Blowers are always producing some amount of boost as they are belt driven, where a turbo spools up as the exhaust velocity is increased. Bypass valves are used with blowers since they always relieve the boost until near zero vacuum (heavy throttle) is achieved. Blow-off valves are designed to relieve boost at a set amount of boost, and can cause boost stacking when used with a blower. Light springs can be used with blow-off valves so that they can be used with blowers, and many have reported success with doing so. Unless a blow off valve is properly set up with a light spring though, the boost that is built up places a load on the blower that is hard on it, plus it will try to slow the blower down which can cause belt slippage. Stacked up boost will also try to find weak spot in the tubing and hoses to blow out of. This is why Bypass Valves are better than Blow Off Valves.
