Skyline Is Too Loud (Never Thought I'd Say That)

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?

Vent your wastegate to inside your cabin, that way your interior can muffle the noise ...

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?

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
