hey peoples,

ive done a search and have found a bit of discussion on the topic of bovs, but which on the market do you think is the loudest????

ive heard blitz is??? then again ive heard turbosmart flows the most? wats the go

i have a turbosmart supersonic, and its loud, but im getting too used to the sound, and am considering a hks ssqv., simply for a different sound.

let me know what your opinion is on the loudest you have heard, and any other stuff you know about bovs in general:)

also, i like the flutter sound that everyone goes on about, but have hearded it will cuase shaft play, but thats same sound is made in the pod sometimes???

any input would be great!!!

haha i cant stand it either..But in saying that i once was the guy who did that haha....

The best one to date that i have heard Has got to be the

Blitz BOV...The thing is to open up the BOV and take out the mesh that is in there Im telling you it will be so so much louder than it was with the mesh....Also adjust the screw etc...

hope this helps...

Loudest I've heard is the one that came with my car -> TurboXs RFL bov, Really F#cken Loud, thats what its called and damn you can hear the thing from miles away (no defects yet :P) Its luder than my mates blitz ssq item.

Before i bought my car the guy took me for a ride... he changed gears at lower revs *prob about 3000 rpm* and the car made this weird ass fluttering noise "What the hell was that" i said. It's the BOV. I have a Blitz BOV and at lower Psi it flutters the exiting air, at higher boost *10 psi plus* it makes these dirty big SSSSSPWWWSSHHHH blow off noises lol. It might flutter about 3 times @ low boost, & one huge one at higher boost. Sounds really cool when the outside temperature is really cold too, one big blow off might go for like 2 seconds. Man, do i have some stories of scaring people with it, lol its just too tempting sometimes with people on the sidewalk about 2 meters away!! hheehe But i do have morals! I wont do it to old people, because i'd fear they'd have a heart attack & fall over & die.

Yeah, the car is making boost at lower rpm and the spring on the bov is to tight so the air gets chopped back through the compressor making that noise through the pod, as soon as he runs higher boost or goes deeper in the rev range he makes alot more psi so the bov then works likes it supposed to. :P

Yeh???? through the pod?... ummmmmmmm is that bad to be going back through the compressor... sounds weird to me, i spose its only low boost anyway. I was just thinkin why it makes that noise the other day too... I was thinking... How is it at such low boost there is enough pressure to open the BOV spring up to make that noise....

Sounds sweet anyway.... lol

not the best, there have been numerous threads about this noise with many differing opinions about both whether its air going back through the turbo and whether its good or not. IMHO it cant be good for the turbo and regardless of the fact it might sound good i wouldnt be trying to do it all the time.

When the boost isnt high enough to open the bov spring it goes back through the compressor, it'll only happen at very low low boost or if you tighen the shit out of your bov spring, at such low boost it isnt bad, but once you start using higher boost and it does that (like when not using a bov at all) its bad over time and will eventually wreck the compressor baldes. Example; say the bov opens at 2 psi or above to let out anything over 2psi worth of boost, when it's done letting of that boost, anything under 2 psi has to go somewhere when the trottle is closed, so i travels back through the compressor making that sound. :P

thats gota be sum sort of achievment if i have stared the WORST thread ever in the history of sau forums. :rofl:

as much as alot of us would hate to admit it, the best thing about owning a skyline is the PPPPSSSSHHHHHH factor, yes i know many hate it, dont give a crap about the sound and think its totally wankey, but hey, i think u guys are the minority, ahhh well, each to their own i suppose

thanks blitz, let me know wen i get my trophie.................joking bro:)

Its in the post :rofl:

nah its not even like that, you cant catch fish without bait, so why drive a turbo car without the pppssshhhh!!!

i know this argument about the wank factor could go on forever, so lets just call it even ok:)

i wanted to know which was the loudest so i DONT get it........haha, mine is pretty loud, geez u have to admit that its pretty funny wen u boost up next to sum nice little old lady on the footpath next to you, ya no, wen the big PPPSSSSHHH suddenly cums out of no where and they quikly jump around scared shitless cuase they think their in nam again.......haha

oh geez its all in good fun

any way back on the intention of this thread......people think blitz is the loudest? i have heard they leak boost, is this true?

and what about the turbosmart megasonic with the 2 trumpets, man that would have to be loud

well, I'd prefer the nice, loud whirring whistling noise coming from my engine bay, while my turbo is collecting boost.

The Plumb back BOV still makes a whoosh, but not a high pitched bullshit one. Its a nice deep thunder, but not that loud. I get the most head turns when its sucking its ass off.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
