GodSpeed Type RS BOV
Ok so I needed a BOV and decided to go with the godspeed Type RS.
-
I opened it up and took out all the contents, and this is what was included:
BOV
2 recirculation fittings
Aluminum bung
Gaskets
2 T fittings
Vac hose
Hardware
-
Everything looked nice until I found that one of the hex screws holding the blow off valve closed was not fully tightened, no big deal, just be careful:
-
The blow off valve outlet come with an o-ring attached to it, and it screws off so that you may be able to attach a recirc fitting:
-
Here is the BOV taken apart, you can kind of see the casting in the outlet is rough,. Expected from a replica, but I don't see how that will have any negative outcome:
-
It came with two springs, one stronger than the other. A spring holder was included and the diaphragm looked very good:
-
The diaphragm looks nice and it feels very tough:
-
-
You can see the casting of the outlet is a bit rough:
Overall, I think its a good piece and Ill post my experiences of how well it works once I get it on.

i'd take a file and clean the casting up on the outlet, it can only help flow
Boost leak should be a good test too, see how the valve seals
I wouldnt mind an upgrade from my dsm bov, this looks good so far, i would just have to tap my flange and it would bolt up too

Re: GodSpeed Type RS BOV
no problems at all.
I am venting to atmosphere due to running blow through, and sounds really cool. So far everything is holding up fine, but I don't even have 20 miles on it, so I cant really say much. Once I get my ECU back from enthalpy tomorrow, I will be driving the car as my DD, and can update this thread a little better.

ill take most any excuse to do an upgrade, but what dont you like about the DSM to consider something else an upgrade?
