Not sure if you are aware but the GReddy RS BOV has different diam. attachments that you can use for legal plumb backs and then a vent to atmosphere for track or spirited driving sessions :)

I wouldn't put an RS on a GTR though. too small.

Get the Type R, it won't be hard to plumb it back in. I'm pretty sure you can get an attachment for it too to plumb it in, but any competent mechanic could make one for you. The Type R is a good bov.

I was under the impression the RS was designed to flow the same as the R (race) but keep a similar size of the S (street), thus the name RS.

Having said that I know the the RS is 40mm valve size compared to that of the R's 47mm, so of course the R will support higher boost pressures (i.e. 2bar+).

I've also read unofficial statements saying that the R should only be used for applications of more than 375hp.

I guess the best thing is that they all use the same 2 bolt flange so it's very easy to change over and check the differences they make.

The type R comes in a soft and a 'hard' spring, the harder one being for cars running more then a bar. They are a good, simple piece of kit.

As for cost, you'd be better going second hand replacements imo. Type R is $200, but the kit that makes it a bolt up affair add's on top.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
