Vortech Maxflow Race Bypass Valve - Polished & Black 8D204-069
High-Flow Compact Maxflow Race Bypass Valve for Tight Engine Bays
The Vortech Superchargers Maxflow Race Bypass Valve (PN 8D204-069) is a compact, high-performance pressure relief solution engineered for supercharged applications with limited space, including sport compacts and custom engine bays. Finished in a polished and black combination, this valve delivers exceptional flow and fast response in a small footprint - outperforming other valves in its size class.
Rated to flow 320 CFM at 8 PSIG, the Maxflow Race Bypass Valve helps control boost pressure during throttle lift, reducing compressor surge and improving drivability and component longevity in high-boost centrifugal supercharger systems.
Design & Performance
The Maxflow Race unit features a compact billet construction optimized for installations where packaging is critical. It is designed to retrofit standard HKS and Greddy-style mounting pads, making it a versatile choice for both new builds and upgrades.
As a bypass valve, it is preset by Vortech to open at approximately 3-4 inches of vacuum for quick response during deceleration. When configured as a blow-off valve, the valve is preset to open at 10-11 inches of vacuum.
