I was using the greddy type-s bov on my 7m @ 9lbs, and am wondering if any 1jz guys use the same bov, i heard that they can only handle up to 15lbs of boost and the 1jz's boost @ around 18lbs. Was I mislead? Also, a very noob question, but how would i go about using an aftermarket bov, is there a stock bov that has to be removed and blocked off?
anyone using a greddy type-s?

i never did like the type S
the gay little bottle rocket sound and on my 7M it leaked like a stuck pig.
Tial ftw but i like my SSQV

yes i agree. tial for the win, u can throw whatever u want at it and it takes it like a champ. i've seen em on cars running over 40 psi and they don't leak.
yeah that would be my next purchase if the greddy fails me, i loved the sound.
any answers to my 2nd noobtacular question?

Depends on which BOV you plan to run.
If you use a BOV that sports a 1" inlet (the port that goes to your IC piping),
Then you can get away with using the stock port, with a short 1" hose and clamps.
If you decide to use an HKS SSQV, TiAL (FTW), or most of the GReddy BOV's that require an actual flange, then you'll need to be welding a flange to the IC piping, and the BOV will be strapped onto that.
What a lot of people do since 7M-GTE's run factory, with a recirculated Blow off Valve, Is...
Run a larger more appropriate BOV that's actually flanged onto the IC pipe, and then run a Bosch 103/110 (whichever it may be) in place of the factory one. Running a Bosch 110 BOV (which recirculates) will help with rich AFR's in between shifts.
This keeps the car from going uber rich when you come to a quick stop or shifting in between shifts, and prevents stalling & backfiring.
**ON A PERSONAL NOTE**
I've ran the HKS SSQV, TurboXS RFL, Bosch 110 and now the TiAL 50mm...
And I must say...
Once you got TiAL, there's no going back. :biglaugh:
With a handfull of boost (15+psi), this thing sounds amazing.
It's not ear piercing loud like a SSQV, but it has a very intimidating and 'head-turning' type of sound to it. Sounds amazing, and more importantly, will hold anything you throw at it.
It's a beast...especially with an 11psi spring.

i will definatly go with the tial if i ever need to buy another bov. I will probly get a flange on my ic piping. and just let it backfire and leave it to the atmosphere to deal with, i'm used to driving the car that way.

Peace!
When I get my 1j I will be running twin Hks. I went for a ride in a 2jz 600+ whp and he was running twins on 3" intercooler piping. Those Bov's where hella loud!! I loved it and wanted it since. I mean I have seen it in the magz and come to the conclusion that maybe the Greddy/hks cant handle high hp but putting 2 together helps alot. I have a greddy type-r and I like it. Its rated like 400+ I think.
