I got the BOV from a known seller online
any one with a genuine Greddy BOV RZ can confirm the authenticity of this. Thank you

 

GReddy

 

Thank you, but i already looked at that, i just want to know from people that own a real rz bov because some of the example of the fake/real comparison indicates real like(bov gasket color, casting line, black housing, bolder GReddy logo) but it also has sign of being fake (not a gold valve seal ring, dont have the round spot by end of flange, not a v shave bolt hole)

 

That looks pretty fake to me from all the GReddy products I've had over the years.. Including the RZ

 

When in doubt dont trust it lol. what I been doing lately instead of buying stuff from various sellers on ebay is just call lighting motorsports they will more often then not match or beat ebay prices and they only sell authentic stuff

 

Yep, and they support IFO.

 

The background shows a USPS box... is that what it came in ??? Not a GReddy box ??? Just looking at your pictures, it certainly appears to be a fake/copy based on the casting/machining processes alone. What did you pay for it ??? If the price was too good to be true... then you know you got a fake. Welcome to the Internet. Good parts ain't cheap... and cheap parts ain't good !!!

 

A man who understands! :-)

 

Im convinced that it is a fake.

The clue for me is the top plate with the word "GREDDY". Take notice at how the letters run together and are messy. ALL Greddy products are not like this and are crisp and clear. As fake as fake could be in my book.

Sorry. Makes me hate Chinese parts even more.

 

Forget about top plate. Look at the quality of machining. The world plunged into the fake. I think there is no problem with this in the US, it's sad
I hope you bought it not at the price of the original.

 

My guess is fake. Its missing the gold valve seal ring. Maybe contact Greddy to verify.

You couldnt take it out of the bag for the pics? lol

 

i got more that one item from the seller and put everything on one box to save shipping. This company is pretty well known for their JDM parts and i would have not thought they sell fake ones. I got for $190.

 

I was thinking that too, but it also came with the blue gasket tho.
hopefully GReddy will help me out. I kept it inside just incase i need to return it lol

 

It's been certified by 5 people. And some of us have owned a lot of GReddy stuff over the years..

there's nothing GReddy can do about it. Send it back or live with the decision already..

 

One other important detail...

GReddy no longer sells the RZ type BOV. They now only have the FV and Type R in their current product line up. This means that either the seller had some old discontinued stock or it is a fake/copy. You didn't buy it from GReddy, so contacting them will do nothing for you, that is unless the online seller that you purchased it from is listed on GReddy's website as an authorized dealer/distributor.

 

Yep... In which I'm willing to bet isn't likely they are an authorized dealer/distributor.

 

a real one is only 40mm

select the type click the item and it will open protetected images

One of those, ' if you have to ask, you probably already know'.
If you're not a stickler for name-brand products only, my advice is to run it and just leak test it. A friend runs the same BOV, which we are sure is fake, and works perfectly.

 

What's so great about them to chase a Greddy anyway, is the sound so unique, action so exclusively fast? Appearance?
Ballers run Turbosmart or Tial....lulz
