Hey guys well i came across this product which is called the "Turbo Whistler" It suppose to be a fake bov which makes your car sound like a turbo. Im just wondering if any one has bought or used one of these products before? and if there any good. I was watching some clips on you tube and some sounded alright and some sounded shit.

As im a p plated cant drive turbo, I could put this on my skyline to make it sound like a turbo and to have fun to trick my freinds and the police.

I was thinking of getting one to see if it actually works their only $20 so i might just try it out and see how we go.

Any ways just letting you guys know about this little gadget and tell us what you think about it.

*Puts flame suit on* :)

To be completely honest, I love the sound of a car spooling and a nice BoV. If there was some way I could get it on my car that was legal and sounded decent I'd probably do it.

I mean really, unless you take your car to the track, how often does a daily driver require a turbocharger? If there was a cheap alternative I'd look into it for my daily.

Edit: I should mention only IF my daily was the type of car that came with turbochargers, like my NA Supra. I wouldn't pretend my Excel has one.

Dude police attention is bad enough in a skyline... I'm sure they're going to find the fake turbo whistler very amusing...

lol @ WYTSKY as a joke is funny.. but please, keep it off the Skyline, have some dignity!

oh cumon! as if it would get anywhere near my car!

besides...It needs a small diameter exhaust to use the pressure to blow it.... a 5 inch tip isnt going to do that.... or it will get blown away by the real psi!

still wish i spent it on some good air freshners ;)

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
