Is it just me or do 50% of the people on this site really only want a turbo vehicle for the noise? I like my turbo for the acceleration and find the noises annoying.

Yeah that's true for me <puts hand up> :banana:

The acceleration is a nice added bonus, but I have never boosted my car to its 2nd stage boost (7psi) as I have never revved it past 4,500rpm in normal day to day, point A to B driving. & that's all my car is used for, as a daily drive around Corolla.

Yeah it is... my roommate bought one for his TT supra... I had to drive it to the mechanics last weekend cause he was working... fuvking embarrasing as shit!

What a stupid noise to come out of a car...

You did? from what I remember your 34 had that "whoosh" sound, like the factory BOV with pod ?? not that you revved very hard when I drove along side you.

yeah when you heard it, was when I had the stock bov back on, had a HKS a month or 2 before and the sound got too annoying so ended up smashing the stock back on...

some bov's like the blitz have a little allen key screw which u can tighten and un tighten... tightening this screw will make the spring harder and will not allow the bov to open fully under boost. This will also give you flutter.

Untightening the screw will open it up and give you the normal sound.

Agreed, alot of tosser's just love the sound of it, but "Haaaa Chew Chew Chew" is much better than that quick high pitched squeak those WRXs and EVO's do, f**k man, hearing that shit makes me homocidal.

YES could not agree more i hate the squeaks and whistle sounding ones, worst when you see them at a motorplex trying to drop a skid shit sounds horrid.

i facepalm so hard my nose hurts

I'd rather pull my exhaust apart to find my turbo blades than have that squeak shit.

This in a lower pitch would sound sick. Like, the same pitch as spooling up on a stock RB 32 turbo

(the sound the Supra makes after the burnout, not during the race)

All this talk of flutter pipe dump dosage is making me dizzy.

LOL Krab, are you serious? never taken it over 4500rpm?!

Pretty much, usually I make sure the gear box changes at ~3 to 3.5k rpm. :D

i have a standard BOV with pod filter ad it sounds great. it flutters nice but it can also be quiet when i want :)

and its not illegal :(

+1, also if I drive super granny then theres no sound at all.

i think the dose a stock turbo sounds a bit wierd but still u can change that with the different front pipes u use. i have a rb25 with a top mount gt35/40 and that sounds good dosing and so far i don think its done any damage but i think a bov is healthier for your car but i don see ne skyline or vl turbo being treaded nicely to prolong turbo life neways so just do it =) i dare say u might not like the sound or the engine will run rough with a afm neways so u may have no choice but to put it back standard . doesn hurt to try if ur bored though

just installed my blitz bov (with the little air filter thingy)

sounds awesome, better than the high pitch ssq sound hehe

and better than flutter but yeh, with this bov i can make it so tight it won't open + cause flutter or just let it go PTSHH :ninja: sounds 1337

  • 7 months later...

agreed it is 50/50 whoever u talk to so personal prefrence is the choice in the end.I took off a gfb ppssshhht bov on my 96 180 for flutter and at 1 bar evryday 4 4 years it didnt kill the turbo...

I have a question to any gurus out there if can help,

I just bought a 32 4dr and it is a very good tuned street car and runs a upgraded turbo and tuned power fc with hand controller.My question is will blocking up the standard bov (previous owner kept it not aftermarket 1) "throw out" somehow or interfere with the power fc or not..

Cheers :woot:

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
