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.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
