Greddy Type Rs & S

[nycxjoey]

What is the differences betweens both of these BOV?
Pro's and Con's?Which one is louder and holds more boost?

Any kind of information would be great!!!

I just got a RS and I don't seem to hear it much.Should I be setting it more toward Hard?

I think they are pretty much the same bov, just that the type r can't be recirculated near as easily... Turning it more towards hard will make it louder yes, almost sharper sounding too. I'd try to adjust a bit and see how it sounds.

Soft and hard is not for sound adjustment, it's for vacuum adjustment. Set it to full soft and leave it there.

The RS is the newer version of the S. The valve is bigger and it supposedly responds better, etc. Nothing too impressive.

And yes, the RS is quiet. That's how you know it works properly.

The s is discontinued. You dont need a recirc kit for the s which is nice

Anyone wanting to get rid off a diff bov for a type S i might trade considering the bov.
Hard and soft also determines how long the bov stays open or how easy it opens however you want to say it.
If you have it on soft it may leak and you'll have to tighten it until it doesn't leak or surge.

Was this really a question worth two threads? There are alot of things that are going to affect the sound of your bov, open filter, hard intake pipe, hard upic pipe, The amount of boost your running. If you want a bov for sound you should run a maft setup so you can vent, But if your going for a performance application you should be just fine with the RS. Well unless you running 25+ psi or some mad amount like that.

If you hook up the type S right, it will make the ting sound. If you have the rs it will make the normal psshhh sound. Type s is the old model that they no longer make. The rs is the newer model that can hold more psi.

Ok now im seriously confused, did Islandtsi say that the type S doesn't have to be recirculatedWTF , and if it doesn't why not? Because i am 95% sure that it doesn't matter what bov we have without a blowthrough setup it has to be recirculated !

 

[HondaStylez]

He meant that the discharge port on the S is already made to have a hose connected to it. The RS comes with a ported trumpet looking dischange that you need to buy a different nozzle for in order to get a hose on it.

Yea, where the hell is this thread going?

But um yea I am currently running the Type-RS and i think that it does an incredible job. Never gave me any problems and I have tried running it open to the atmosphere and it doesn't really kill your gas mileage that bad, but we all know thats bad news. As for sound, when it is not recirculated I think it sounds great, very agressive and broad. The RS is three mm larger I believe also. So basically the RS is better? yea.

I'm just going to throw out my experiences:

I have bought two, yes two Greddy type RS BOV's, because the first time the RS diaphram wouldn't seal properly. So, I returned that one and got another one. And again, the diaphram wouldn't seal correctly on that one too. Both of my experiences have been aweful with the Greddy type RS' and I personally think that they crap. Again just my experience.

I now have an HKS ssqv and couldn't be happier. I don't have to mess with the whole adjusting part of it and it is a pull type and is designed not to leak. If I were you I would go with the SSQV. Great product

 

[dsm4fun]

Im also thinkin of getting the ssqv, how is the sound on it, is it the fluttery noise.Because I wanna be a total sleeper so no sound is good sound!

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

The SSQV is a pull type, which they say is for "higher" boost applications. But whatever holds boost gets the job done theoretically.

Yes, when re-circulated it is a fluttering sound. From what I hear, if it is not re-circulate it will not flutter. It will do the normal phss sound of air. But like said above- It is holding boost for me very well

 

[dsm4fun]

Thanks it was between a type S and the ssqv and even recirculated the type S is still very noticable. So I will more than likely be going with the HKS because of simplicity and performance.

If its a 1g then it will make the phss sound unless the car has compressor surge(sounds like a flutter/turkey) , thats one of the main reasons it makes that sound. BUT on a 2g DO NOT run with the stock bov uncirculated your car ill jerk at around 30mph, your gas milage will be shitty, your car will run richer than shit, it leaks at idle and does not hold boost well. the 1g bov's leak at idle also but with the dodge garage mod it is supposedly to run any amount of psi. and i prefer the type s over the rs because you do not need a recirculation kit, if you like the sound, it sounds badass, holds boost fine, well at least the ones ive had experience with.
