I've had this for awhile and I misplaced it for some time. Well I finally found it in a box in my closet.

I know it's old school, and it's Apexi, but that's about it. It reminds me of a Greddy Type R.

So I called Apexi today.....

Its there single chamber racing BOV. It's been discontinued since 2002. Retail on it was $565. The tech I was talking to said that they really didn't sell to many of them cause of the price and it being 9 years ago. He said it's a pretty rare piece and asked if I wanted to sell it.

So that added some good news for the day.
 

strange enuff in the new super street there is an sr20det setup with this valve on it.

Definitely use it, or, put it up on EBAY with that info you have and you could make yourself a nice few $$$$ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If it doesn't hold super good and if its really worth silly money, I'd tear it apart bead blast the cast pieces and the adjustment screw and shine up the billet top and ebay that dude and buy a synchronic and have money left over for some better pain killers besides those in the picture that doesn't have a #3 in front of the tylenol. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif

It should, the spring I stiff as hell. I'm kinda scared to take it apart. I'm afraid if I do, the gasket might rip and never find one ever again. Hey, those little ibuprofen do good, if you take like 4+. Lol.

That's pretty cool, I'd just keep it for a while man, till it REALLY becomes rare. Then you can think about selling it. So how'd the dyno go?
