10463, OK, last time...GReddy or HKS
Posted by cyan, Oct-09-01 03:20 PM
okay this is the last time i want to go into this because every time i decide which one i want i read someting that sways me to the other one. the Greddy type s or the HKS BOV? which one whistles and whats the difference between the two sounds? i know the functional and dependability details already. i cant search teh archive for the post so if anyone has the post with the BOV sounds links let me know. i have yet to find a link to the greddy sound, what appears to be the most widely used aftermarket valve.

The HKS by far. It has the best sound. I wanna go turbo just because I want one of them. :P

Ask Basikstyz to record a wav for you or something. I guess he loves the type s whistle.

I said it was a lame excuse. But hey, you gotta love it. I never said it was a bad thing. Just a bad excuse to want turbo. :P LOL I knew someone would refer back to that.

This website sucks so I had to make it an audio clip. If I made it a video clip that was small enough that the site would let you download it, it sounded like ASS!

Type S!! The HKS supersequential (if thats the one you're considering) sounds awful like its muffled air just coming out. The Type S has a much more sharper, high pitched whistle rather than a nasty sounding muffle...

I say go with the type S. My gf absolutely loves her S. that high pitch whistle when going through a tunnel...I waste more fuel that way...

To me, the HKS sounds like a whistle and pshhhhhh, the Greddy sounds like a whistle.

Ive seen pics of the BOV installed with a HAHN kit and it doesnt look like it would fit with your hood... it looks like it needs the hump. Anyone know if it will or not?

Both should fit no problem. The TurboXS wont fit worth a damn without the elbow adapter unless you relocate it like I did. I like the HKS BOV sound better. The few HOS SSQV I've heard weren't muffled or stuttering at all. Its louder and higher pitched than the Greddy. They sound down right futuristic to me.

I guess this isn't helping at all huh Cyan. Your right where you started, some like the Greddy and some the HKS. Guess you'll have to gamble and go with your gut feeling.

Where would you find a HKS online? Any sites?

The greddy sounds like a Bomb droping through the air... the HKS is a loud screach sorta like when I planes tires hit the runway. That's the best way I know how to describe it.
