thx in advance,
rajuy

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

hmm interesting. im gonna bet its the exact same bov. maybe thats why they came out with the new bov. their patent expired on it? i dunno. but it looks great and the price is awesome

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

i was wondering the same thing... ive heard of guys having good sucess with knokoff tial and turboXscuse bovs, but dont know anybody running one of these

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

That new hotness to me ;D
Best part is i could probably sell my DSM and get that for maybe 10-20 dollas more
It's kinda hard to mess a BOV up thou. Only thing you wouldn't, if anything, be satisfied with
is the sound. I would buy it personally if i were in your position ;)

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

im gonna go ahead and get it.there is a 50% chance i will like it. ill keep you guys posted .

thx again fellas

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

Please post if it really sounds like a type-s.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

yeah i bet it doesnt leak or anythign but the sound is what really makes the type s soo popular. I have a 1G dsm bov too csaddict ;)

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

I would trade up for that lovely Type S sound!

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

i got the fake K s ssqv bov from egau and it sounds money

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

where i work sells them :D
i`ve completely tear it down, put it side by side with the real one and they are like 99.9% identical to each other.
the real one has a Slightly softer(10% or so) spring but the fake one work just fine.
other than that the only difference is the color of the valve :P (copper on real and black on fake)
oh and they sound exactly the same too. :D

here`s the same ---- that cost less:

~~oh I don`t work there ;)

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

even at 4psi, or do you just blow in the end while noel sucks on the signal line to test it?

but yeah, most of the egay knockoffs are exact clones of the real deal, cheap manufacturing style. i am sure it probably sounds almost identical to the type-s

i had one, it was decent.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

Interesting information, and they sound exactly the same 2. Maybe I'll be using one of this for my next setup.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

ive been wanting one for a while, but for 75 bux im gonna try the knock off first. i just bought it last night, ill also let you guys know how it is

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

LET US KNOW
LET US KNOW
LET US KNOW
LET US KNOW
LET US KNOW


if that holds and sounds similar to an S i'll deffinitly buy one ;)

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

same here

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

wow now my real type s isn't worth anything anymore :P

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

^^^haha
not on here but on H-T :P

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

Whats wrong with good Ol DSM bov's ;) .... As far as this valve, I've actually seen one on a guys custom GSR kit, and the thing looked and sounded identicle to a Greddy Type S. Personally these valves arnt my favorites, I'd probably go with a knock off Tial of RFL.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

Bump to a old thread.
Now that some of you have had a chance to try out the knock off Type-S, is the real one worth the 3x in price?

Does the knock off have the second little vacuume nipple like the real one? If not does it matter?

I dont care about sound, I just want it to be reliable and hold up to 20psi.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

ive got one in my setup and have no problem with it.. and it has the second vacuume nipple.. as said above its nearly identical
but you say you want to use it up to 20psi.. even the real type S bov is not a good choice its a low boost bov (<15psi)

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

I have one and its a piece of crap out of the box. I had to remove the heavier of the 2 springs to get it to open.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

wow, this is an old thread.

Re: greddy type -s knock off
 

Knock off has a much stuffer spring as dave said
