the main noise comes from the induction side on the turbochargers

predominately the gtr twins are much quieter than the gtst single turbo setups

you can make it louder by opening up the the intake path and/or removing the restrictions

but its likely to suck in hot and dirt etc - the usual twin pods will make it a big louder

try removing the panel filter and go for a boost around the block - should give you an idea what it will sound like with a twin pod kit

be warned dont do this for long as your running open mounted turbo's any level of dirt could shag the bearings etc

You could always get a pod or something to get a louder induction noise if you're into that sort of thing. I wouldn't recommend getting a atmo bov, it'll be too much trouble with constant stalling etc.

I honestly don't see why you want the head turning though? Not only are the heads turning going to be people you want to impress, but some of them will be the police as well.

I would rather keep my car looking and sounding as stock as possible on the streets that's all.

hehe that's what you get for askin technical questions on a sunday.

your best bet is to get a metal pipe to go between your turbo and your AFM (otherwise known as a dose pipe around thomastown). it'll amplify the volume of the air induction and any pressure variations (flutter etc) that your system will have.

i've got a twin plate clutch, which lets the world know when I'm changing gears... usually followed by them looking at my car as if something fell off.

im running a dual port bov. its handy. has atmo and plumb bak which doesnt cause stalling issues like an atmo coz its returns atleast 50% of the air back into the intake. after a tune it make 190kw. it makes the world look when i change gears.

but if i were ui would go the twin pod setup. would cost u about $200 to get this with some quality pods, ie apexi or k&n ($50-$80) each and then adaptor plates about $15-$20 each. that will give u good induction noises and have a flutter to when u change gears ith a dose.

Pods will make it louder, I have some for sale as I'm sticking to the airbox to attract less attention (or at least I think I can attract less attention that way :ermm:).

I have K&N pods for sale if your looking for some, not sure how much noise they make though.

Apologies for taking this a little off topic.

nope, should be fine.

My RB26 is loud as, lots of nice noises, just pods on there.

The stock BOV's are quite the noise makers

Do the stock BOV's make a "psshht" sound on some gear changes? Been trying to work out if my BOV's are atmosphere venting or not (its got a tuned ECU and it runs perfectly fine).

i've got a twin plate clutch, which lets the world know when I'm changing gears... usually followed by them looking at my car as if something fell off.

So that weird grinding noise that sounds like something is broken when you attempt to slip the clutch is normal? I apparently have a OS Giken twin plate). Of course normal driving its ok, and changing gears is ok too.

Regards,

Gareth

P.S. aren't "dose" pipes illegal?

With the standard bov, you can hear the 'ppshh' noise, but it's obviously not as loud as a atmo one. With my car, the bov doesn't open until you rev it above ~3krpm. So below that you'll hear a light flutter. This is all with a standard box as well.

actually your cheapest possible way to get more noise out of your induction would be to remove the factory resonator that connects to your airbox.

how? lol

    • 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.
