i like the sound of the type r but my friends say it wont work cuz of the stiff spring, if i get the standard spring for it wil it blow off with 7lbs?

 

normally i see that bov in high horsepower apps. 7 psi might be too little for that stiff spring, im not sure if they make a standard spring for it

 

yeah for that bov you need to be running at least 15psi for it to work

 

how's the type-s do for lowER boost apps? My engine's being rebuilt and i haven't heard much about it but i got a good deal so i jumped at it...i'm looking to run like 7 or 8 lbs

 

The Greddy type s is good for low boost though it tends to leak when you start pushing upwards of 16+ psi.

 

ok good...i don't plan on running more than that....right away ....if i do plan to go higher i'll upgrade!! Thanks for the info

 

I ran a Type R with 1 bar spring on my 8~11psi setup for a year without any problems but I did take it apart and apply white lithium since it sat for 6 months before being used. You can also order an "S" spring for the Type R BOV. Also a lot of my RB26DETT and RX-7 friends have used the Type R without any problems when boosting past 18psi. I am NOT talking about 1 or 2 people either!!
