My previous ride was a mazda 626 turbo and when you gave it stick you could really hear a whistle on full boost but the intake airbox was stock with my new r33 gtst it has a hks pod intake and i cant hear a whistle more like a roar when change gears bov whoosh ok from hks ssbov how much is normal as some people talk about ticking and the like all i can hear is loud roar boost shows 7 psi stock and car does fly but i am concerned turbo suspect

only had car fews days and still under warranty so want to know.

well i got mine started up for the first time, and opening the throttle a little bit. You do hear a bit of a roar, but you can also clearly heard the turbo working.

Haven't driven it on the street yet.

However a mate with an rb25 has just a k&n airfilter and it really gives a healthy induction noise.

i dont think its much to worry about. if the cars drives the way it should, a few sounds shouldn't bother you....

well the stock dump pipe does have that terrible design for when the wastegate opens the gases go directly into a wall, and have to divert.

But i couldn't see how that would effect noise.

If you really want a loud on boost type sound, replace your standard rubber induction hose with alloy piping. You will notice a difference in sound.

Or maybe try changing air filters to a big K&N.

Do you have a 3 inch exhaust??

could be a number of things

mmm... mine doesn't 'whistle' as much.

Just sounds like a massive hoover. (without the motor noise)

Mine just sucks on full throttle and once i hit my full boost (4300rpm) at 9psi ATM... it goes more quiet and i just hear exhaust screaming.

Something to do with vacum or something i heard.

But at low throttle just crusing i can here a nice turbo whistle.

I have a t04e BTW.

the ceramic turbos sound different.

whistling, you will find it happends when you remove the air filter.

ive seen a few brand new soarers ect, hige top mount turbos no filters, and god they scream. it all depends on what air filter you have, boost amounts how fast you are going.

i find that about 230 i cant hear the turbo as much.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
