Hi GUys,

I nearly sold my Turbo 4 (old 944 porsche) after getting aload of this audio. Apparently it's leaked from holden's ad agency and is from the new VE ute.

why do i see this thread being closed soon?

anyway, i reakon the falcons have always sounded better than the commodores. they always have. especially in stock form. if you look at every comparison done in the past 15 years and they all say the ford v8 sounds much beefier. the holdens didn't start to sound good till the gen3, but i still like henry's donk. similar power from a smaller motor.

Hey all you turbo drivers, what sounds better? The turbo's you all have or something you chose not to buy?

er 1 turbo please

edit: IBTL :)

O.o engine noise? V8's hands down.. Even a crap 8 with a nice set of extractors and a decent carby will sound mean, when we're talking a tuned 8 they sound heaps better... The whoosh turbo cars have is cool but it is pretty queer when it's louder than your under-bonnet engine noise and almost louder than your exhaust (which is generally pretty droney and boring anyway) ._.

That's my opinion anyway.. I reckon my GTR sounds pretty girly.. Also that car thing up the top sounded crap, sounded alright till like 3k rpm then it sounded like a 4 lol could just be the headphones though

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
