Forgive me for posting this but im looking for some answers, i remember reading on the board that someone has used a type r bov for their vortech. I am wondering if there will be any sound difference. also if it will even work without any modification.

on a side note im searching for a picture of a blue z (front bumper picture) looks like the picture is fading back to a shadowed background. thanks in advance

I think you're referring to Booger. He installed a Greddy RS and had to resell it within a week. Apparently he had some issues with it leaking under vaccum or something... Somoene said that a Greddy S worked well with the Vortech. However, that is because it doubles as a bypass valve, which the vortech kit already includes.

Is it the R type...or the S type....I thought the S type can be used as a bypass . The RS that I bought could only be used as a BOV . I now have a S type and I still couldnt get it to work as a bypass . It has [ 2 ] ports on it , and I tried both...no go . Im wondering if a spring needs to be changed or removed . I emailed Greddy on it and never got a reply . Sure would like to find this out . ...aaron from this site is running the S type with his SC . But said he didnt install it , so he couldnt help

Well I just got another reply from Greddy . They say that you CAN NOT use the S type as a BOV . So ...aron....would you look to see if you have a Maxflo..bypass BOV ....or a Greddy S type ? If it has a blue top on it..its a Maxflo bypass

I have had the type S running on my Vortech since day 1, you can use it. Its a single port BOV just like the standard vortech unit.

Bap, can you post a pic, or tell us which line you used as there are two inlets on the type s. Also are there different springs that can be used?

baptist

There arent two inlets, you only put the vac hose to the top one, the other is just balance line to atmosphere.

I hooked up my S type and it didnt open under vacuum . I adjusted all the way out and still wouldnt open . Is there 2 types of ...S types ?
