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:

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
