Yo people,

My problem is that my R33 gts is way to loud after hooking my external wastegate up. My skyline has a straight through exhaust which is loud itself, but not overly loud. When i hooked the waste gate up it made such a noise that it pissed off anyone within a mile of me, and honestly caugth me off gaurd. Is there any chance it could be faulty or any way of reducing noise through my system? I can't even hear my turbo flutter anymore, and my flutter was super loud. Vid attached (only sound as i can't film while driving + little skid).

Anyone know of any options?

Is your waategate venting to atmo? If u plumb it back into tge exhast it will sound same as it did b4. Personally i love sound of gate and would never go back to normal sounding skuline again lol.

it is plumbed to the exhaust manifold and boost is coming just infront of the cold side of turbo. I like the sound, but everyone else in my neighbourhood + copperdogs don't. after 3-4k rpm sounds like vtec is kicking in (i have a really big turbo). Yeah it's venting to atmo, not downpipe

harden the fcuk up!

you're driving far too slow if you are worried about noise :rolleyes:

Haha usually i'd agree with you man, and with a straight pipe i could get away with full boost flutters n shit. I actually had a guy have a shout at me when i went past his house, no idea what he said but he looked pissed.i got 10 demerit points i don't need to popo's attention right now. is there anyway to make the wastegate open in higher revs but keep boost up?

oh I see your problem, i'm told FemFresh will help get that last little bit of sand out of your vagina :)

Do you actually know how to help? or are you just insulting people as an excuse to yourself that you're interacting socially?

Go back and ask this guy what he said, then ask yourself what interacting socially is after you get out of hospital, moron.

Dat cool story, internet intimidation.. please. once again you're not helping, how does it feel to be a literal waste of space?

So you are running straight through pipes and you don't want attention from the police??? Put a muffler on it

i've seen a few people in japan pull baffle's out of there muffler and it reduces sound very well, do you know if/where we can get them in aus?

Plumb it back into your down pipe. You stated you liked it before doing the external. Pretty much answered your question. Venting to atmosphere always creates more noise. That's why people do it. The turbo flutter inside the engine bay gets attention. There's a guy on here that plumbed his through the hood with a tear drop finish. Looked different.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
