I just upgraded from A 350GT Premium to a 370GT SP. Both have a BOSE sound system, on which I use direct AUX inputs to pump my Android phone out (with MAJOR sound mods, see Viper); NB the 350 nneedded a special cable, 370 has an input point in the centre console/armrest. Now, The sound coming out of my 350GT was incredible. The sound from the 370GT is nowhere near as good. Were there different levels of BOSE audio in the 370GT? Are there any details about either system? such as watts frequency range or ... etc... And yes I know that BOSE are NOT big on publishing numbers, they simply sell on the basis of"it sounds good)

 

Basically, I would of expected the 370GT to be as good or even better, but it is not. My other possibility is that one of the speakers or amps are dead. Specifically the Sub. The sound system is VERY important to me. I use the AUX, so its the sound not the features.

So chances are it isn't an issue with my car only, but possibly an issue with the V36 itself. I thought maybe a sub and a tweeter had died. Its the low range and the highs that are lacking compared to the 350GT. And we will never know why, as BOSE don't publish their specifications.

You know what BOSE stands for don't you?

Buy Other Sound Equipment.

Inconsistent performance is part of the brand.

I am faaaaar from being a fan of BOSE as a brand. The fact they dont publish/test specs annoys me. However, the stereo in my 350GT was brilliant.I pumped into it through Android, using Viper. I guess I am going to need to consider adding to the stereo system. I went for a premium 370GT in a big part because of the stereo, incorrectly thinking it would of been as good as in the 350GT.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
