Hi guys,

before ppl say dont worry about the sound or as long as it goes,im just trying to understand still why my hiflow turbo which is a pu hypergear hiflow turbo .82 doesnt have loud sucktion noise hardly at all like my stock turbo.

i have an aftermarket b.ov plum back,3 inch metal intake pipe and drift pod.same as wat i had on my stock turbo.

the car pulls fine been on dyno power run but not really tuned full on.it does make a slight flutter and the pssshhh sound from the bov but at almost fullboost/full throttle.

theres hardly any sucktion sound as i thought this turbo being big and all would sound awesome.the minimal sucktion sound ive noticed does sound a lil rough like shhhrrrrr not that clean loud type.

is there some problem with my set up to this turbo or maybe thats how they are......

Does anyone have any experience on these turbos or how they sound cause doing my head in lol at the moment cause feels great but doesnt sound rite....

Wouldnt worry bout the sound if it drives good mate ive found the stock turbo induction noise to be quite loud. Ive gotta Garrett Gtx3071 on my car and i was bit pissed like you initially as you can barely hear my turbo compared to the stockie and its a 560hp turbo lol! But enjoy the stealth sound mate as it doesnt attract the wrong attention

What about the actual spooling/suction noise from pod is it loud sargerx8 on yours when hitting boost? i removed the b.o.v and hardly hear any flutter at all or suction noise from pod :/ ...

what intake type pipe and pod do you have ?

i got the rb25 turbo on my rb20 and its really noisy, sucking and hissing, probly the wastegate slightly open when not on full throttle,

When i put my foot down i cant hear the turbo hardly at all, just a big pshh when i take the foot off.

Try driving around with less throttle. or if that doesent work you could set it up shit like mine with no computer upgrade or boost controller.

Split dumps can sound cool too, i got a cheap and nasty one (JJR) and it has a stupid flange bit which doesent fit and has to be ground back so it makes a whizzing sound when the gasses go around it.

Im hoping to eliminate some of the noise, its ALL THE TIME and im over it.

Yea i do have an upgrated ecu and boost controller and still nothing...can hear the turbo spool slightly when i put my foot down and a big psshhh release from bov. sound like n/a lol

everyone is over the sound/noise spool and i wanna be over it too haha...maybe get it checked out by someone just incase.

My Garrett 2871 is pretty loud all round.

If you want noise, HKS t51r KAI, you will have a jet under the hood lol!

I think it's just rb's stock turbos are loud a prob the loudest standard turbo I've ever heard.

The new turbo will be more efficient and the blades will be more aerodynamic etc and it will be doing a better job with less air/friction resistance hense your power increase and less noise.

Wouldn't worry bout it mate.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
