How Loud Are Turbo's Supposed To Be In The Car?

Another strange question from me.. I have googled, and found nothing that answered my question.

I still haven't assessed if I have a high flow or not. Doesn't matter. What a mate of mine did point out, is how loud my turbo is. You can hear the whistle (duh). But, inside the car, you can hear the turbo sucking in air seriously loud. Is this normal? Do others do this? Standard, high flowed? Etc? Is it gon' die?

I did spend the last 20min odd on youtoob, and couldn't find another boat owner with the same noise.

HALP thanks.

Being thinking about something similar..

Ive got a couple questions.. Without using pods what would make induction noise louder? and Would a metal intake kit with standard air box make the induction noise louder? I would love to get a pagani huayra sound in my car lol

It's all to do with the pod, and the type of pod. Some pods have more noise associated than others - whether its because of the level of filtration, or the actual construction metal vs plastic etc) who knows, not really a point anyone would probably care to look into.

Pod - lots induction noise

airbox/enclosed pod - less induction noise

GTRs make a bit more because of the side intake.

Take it to a shop that deals with these cars everyday and ask them to drive it. Any decent shop will be happy to take 5 minutes to tell you if it's normal or not. If its super loud it's probably not normal. A bit of noise is normal when you have a pod though. Better to be safe than sorry and what harm can it do to have it checked by a professional?

in my experience a poded R33 has mega induction noise. I originally had a K&N which was incredibly loud, I changed to a HKS shroom and the noise changed a lot. much quieter.

The stock RB25 turbo makes a silly amount of noise with a pod filter. In my old R32 it was by far the loudest, The Apexi AX53B70 made next to no noise and the 3076R made more of a whistle, but nothing seems to match the stocker for sounding like a vaccume cleaner! lol

Yeah i found the pod, split dump etc on my high flow was super spoolage! With a bit of Ztutututu just for Josh.............

The 3076 does spool loud followed by epic whistle and then lots of GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE :woot:

      My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By Chi-Town · Posted

      This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.

      It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!

      This is why you flex fuel it...

      That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
