Why Do Only R33's (turbo) Have The Pod-suction Sound?

Well fellas,

as the topic suggests... I've driven a few of my mates's R32's and have recent been driven around in a mate's R34 and for some reason - even though my mods and his mods are very similiar, e.g. BOV, FMIC, Blitz/Apexi Pod - how come only the R33's have the nice and aggresive suction and flutter sound as opposed to the R32 and R34 where close to no sound comes from the Pod?

I don't understand, the engine set up e.g. is pretty much identical?

Cheers,

SM. :whistling:

dude my 32 has more induction sound then i can poke a stick at. its almost annoying. even light throttle so its only boosting like 1psi will have a slight sucking sound more then able to be heard in the cabin. nothing out the ordinary either, normal pod/cooler/exhaust mods.

maybe your mates 32's and 34's are non turbo. :)

seriously though... dont know where you would get that . All have the fulli sick suction sound if there turbos and got a open exposed pod. Some pods will be louder than others but still...

my mates 32 has similar mods as my 33 and his is louder.. go figure

at the end of the day, who cares.

That's strange... the R32 I drive had a pod, front mount, BOV etc... so does my car... my mates R34 has similiar mods... but for some reason, mine sound much more aggressive.... I don't know why...

the suction sound can be affected by the filter itself, some are louder than others.

the suction sound can also be affected to what boost level your running, more boost, more suction, more noise.

The "flutter" sound is compressor surge, and that is affected by the setting of the bov. If the bovs spring is set hard, then its not going to release the intake charge as much as a soft set spring, therefore you will have more "flutter" going back through the turbo and out the pod.

Even though you and you mates may have simular mods, ie pod, bov, fmic, the brands themselves and they way the are setup can affect the noise

I have loud as shit induction noise while I'm still at 10mmHg!

You don't even wanna hear it when it comes on boost! It sounds like a pure animal if you're driving alone beside it.

Mind you, 3" stainless pipe from motor to filter helps with this... Then I must also have a "noisy" pod...

yeah metal intake piping makes a huge difference to intake sounds. The stock rubber intake absorbs quite abit of the induction sound, put a nice alloy or stainless pipe in place of it and you'll notice a nice jump in db's haha

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
