Snow Performance Compare: Check Valves vs Solenoids

[Ultimate CC]

Take a look and see why Snow Performance uses a free flowing, full stainless steel constructed solenoid while our competitors use restrictive check valves.

Are you looking to install a Boost Cooler kit with a rear mounted reservoir? Does your application require that you use a solenoid to prevent siphoning? These questions are easily answered with our latest Solenoid Upgrade.

The new Snow Performance Solenoid Upgrade features full stainless steel construction for the ultimate in longevity and reliability. This new solenoid is so effective that it creates less than a 5 psi drop in line pressure! That means more pressure, more flow, better atomization, and more power!

Our competitors use extremely restrictive brass check valves in place of a solenoid. These check valves have opening thresholds of over 40 psi! Brass and other soft metals aren't even methanol resistant. Our competitors have designed failure into their systems!

whats the Cv of these valve?

How do you know if you need the solenoid upgrade?

when you run a progressive pump speed alky kit, you will always need a solenoid valve...the ~20psi cracking pressure on a check valve will further reduce the already limited range of flow...among other things

ok how much...

bump for how much

injection nozzles need ~40psig behind them to get decent atomization

on a 150psig pump the effective range of operation would be 60psig (40psig from nozzle + 20psig from check valve) to 150

on a commonly used MW7 injection nozzle, flow@pressure is as follows: 7GPH@100psig, 8.57GPH@150psig and 5.42GPH@60psig

(8.57-5.42)/8.57=0.36

you get only 36% useful range for the MW7 nozzle
