forge bpv or hks bpv

[UHATEIT]

uhateit where did you order your greddy type s bpv at?

the fake one with the whoosh sound was off ebay for $30 shipped

I found my real type s with the whistle off craigslist off a guy in Tacoma, Washington for $100 shipped. There are a lot of them out there for about $100 shipped. Of you can go check ebay and they have real ones there too. I found the nicest one that I could, only one tiny knick on it, otherwise its perfect.

Like lestat13 said, it sounds great even recirculated. I ran it VTA to work one day just to listen to the loud sound, but the car stalled 4 times and i got a CEL from it so I recirculated it. If you have yours adjusted right and it wears the spring in after driving around it makes a nice sound! Mines almost as loud recirculated as it was VTA after the spring has broken in after driving it for a few weeks.

here is one on craigslist fror sale:

I thought they were about the same as far as volume goes, then I went vta one night last week and capped the recirculation tube. Maybe it's because its facing down instead of up, but it was about 4x louder and I could hear it echoing off the asphalt down the street!! This was also just over a week since I did the single spring mod and tightened it up a bit to compensate.

Anyone with this valve, btw, do the single spring mod. I didn't quite understand why, but it makes it hold boost faster, release faster, and driveability becomes easier.... especially when you add in the fact its now a bpv instead of a bov.

did you put it back to recirculate again? or are you still running it vta?

I've never ordered anything off ebay or craigslist. I'll have to check it out later on after work. Thanks for the info

 

[lestat13]

I put it right back to bpv..... only ran it for a few minutes to show a friend. vta runs like s*** compared to recirulated. I was in denial before, dont do it

but you LOVE the sound tho eh yeah it ran like s*** for me too. I want to try plugging the recirc tube too. i sent you an email about the hard-soft setting and if you are familiar about the settings. email me back bro!

That sucks they don't make the type s no more. I've been looking for them brand new... And no luck. I don't want to buy a bpv that is used. Sucks the type rs doesn't sound like the type s. Don't know what I should do now

the one i bought was used for 500 miles on an rx-7, looked almost brand new. Just have to try and find one.

All the bov's will work the same for the most part, the type-s just gives the best quality sound. The fake type-s on ebay sounds just like the real rs sounds

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

there is one 30 min. away from my house for $50. I'm sure it is crap though since they are selling it so cheap

30 minutes away is not bad! Ask him to email you a picture of it or go check it out. Even if it looks bad it's probably still in working order. I almost bought a used one in bad condition for $60, maybe you'll get lucky!

Remember you need the adapter flange as well to mount it. It's an easy install very fast and easy to do

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

it's not on there now... s***

 

[lestat13]

adapter flange AND reciruclation tube cap if you are running vta.

and mine was $100, but some people don't know what they have. My guy had it on his talon when he bought it and wrecked the car.

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

sounds like you lucked out

 

[lestat13]

I did!! Looks almost flawless and works perfectly. If you do get one and it doesn't work properly, you can buy authentic replacement type-s diaphragms right from greddy, they are about $50

 

[UHATEIT]

yeah man even on ebay they sometimes go for over $150 used! They are a higly desirable bov due to the rarity as they are discontinued, hence finding one new is almost impossible. Crappy conditioned ones on ebay I have seen for like $150 or so plus shipping.
Craigslist is the best since you can find someone who doesnt know that they have like lestat13 said. Someone selling one in mint condition for $100 shipped could honestly get $180 for a great conditioned one or even over $200 on ebay.

SNAp you only paid $100 for yours too? I thought you paid more than that. Either way good deal if you got it for $100. Definately a sweet ass bov!!


after all these pages we should post a "greddy type s" thread, since this thread was supposed to be about hks vs forge haha

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

I don't know how to change it

 

[UHATEIT]

I don't know how to change it

naw i was meaning I should start a thread all about the greddy haha. i have my own thread about the fake one. But I think mods are the only ones who can change thread titles.

Keep checking tho. go to craigslists all over the country til you find one with pics and in good condition. The day i bought mine i found 10 for sale for $100 shipped. The jamie guy i emailed about earlier has a mint one for $100 shipped

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

So he has one right now for $100? And if there is anything need to replaced I can just go to the greddy website to get the authentic replacement type-s diaphragm

 

[Bonafide_Spd3]

what is the greddy authentic replacement type-s diaphragms. I tried seeing a picture on this one website but it went straight to checkout

that guy had one for sale 2-3 weeks ago when i bought mine. i deleted his email with the picture in it. I had already paid for one from a guy in washington. They should all work fine. I am not familiar with the diaphragm things. I know ehn i took mine apart to do the single spring mod (which makes it louder and perform better) it was in perfect condition.
