I'm also after a particular sound. If anyone's a fan of futurama it's like zoidberg "woop woop woop" heh heh.

It's sort of "wup wup wup" or just "wup" in a higher pitch. It's definately not a woosh or psst sound.

It was featured in a HPI dvd on a 4 door r32 with crazy rims and custom paint (from a K class car I think they said). It drifted around on the track and I believe the last thing they said was "lets see if the driver can keep the panels straight" or something.

Anyone know the one?

:)

AHHHH HAHAHAHA. Thats a good one. I was in class when I read that. I know what your talking about someonestolecc but i've never heard anything that sounded like that.

Possibly the most similar noise would the sound of a VL commodore with no BOV and a large intercooler which sounds like a CHOO choo choo choo....

yep thats what i was picturing

i started saying these out loud softly to try and work out what the sounds were then i stopped because im at work and thats just really weird, like keep your children away kinda weird

either way - my turbosmart sounds like a crisp CHI CHI CHI, im after a low pitch BURRRRRRRRRR which my mates gtr with a half plumback makes.

Just get an angry pigeon and put it in the engine bay, shut the bonnet. no one is the wiser. i think they have kits for it. If not, then gimmie a coupla days to catch one of those magic AP-S1 and ill do a professional installation for $45. Bargin!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i'll take one as well.

I dont know about you guys but im in the market for getting a BOV thats similar to the sound a WRC makes with its wastegate. Its more of a high pitch squeal than a conventional "WHOOSH" sound. ANy ideas?

lol.....

hey CC, u hit the nail on the head mate, that's exactly the BOV i'm after, been looking for ages and still can't find it....

anyone?

Yeah me too.

And for those saying it's pipe reverberation it's not - in the HPI video the BOV is visible to see it's got one, but not close enough to see what it's like.

It also sounds different to the reverberation VLs etc get.

Someone mentioned the wastegate on WRCs I think it'd be great to get my car sounding like them off-throttle, but I think the grumble is anti-lag so er... yeah I won't mess with that, although my 351 used to do it :P

If anyone knows what the wup wup wup one is please lemme know as it's the only one that would interest me :(

the vl pipe reverberation makes a low wuv wuv wuv kinda sound, but as cc said its probably not what anyone is after

Yeah i hear what ya saying. The WRC screach is what im after or somethign similar, but the pigoen squealing sounds very interesting as well. Might be worthe looking into that if someone gets more details.

my god..

The total IQ of this forum dropped 200% with this thread.

1.) bov's don't make fluttering noises.

2.) SARD R2D2 makes a single psshh release sound.

3.) if the car on the vid had a bov and made a flutter sound, chances are the bov was set really tight and wasn't opening.

4.) The standard VL sound is what you are hearing on all thse cars going woop woop or chi chi or whatever the **** you want to call it. it just sounds different on different cars.

the pitch of the sound, the length that it goes for, the speed of the flutter all depends on many variables..

eg..

turbo, ball bearing, non ball bearing, number of blades on the turbo's inlet wheel, their angle, the speed at which it is spinning when you release the throttle.

the intercooler pipes, diameter, length, material it is made from.

intake pipe, material it is made of, the length.

the WRC car's would make the same noise as a road driven W or EVO with the bov removed and plugged up, except with anti lag, it makes the sound different again due to the amount of boost. and lets not forget the 32mm inlet resrictors on their turbo's... all these add up to making weird and wonderful noises.

The sound from S14's and S15 with stock bovs is another one.

the reason they make it once you increase boost is that the plumback return line is too small and it can't vent enough back to the inlet.. this causes fluttering.

onec again.

THERE IS NO BOV THAT VENTS MAKING A FLUTTERING SOUND

It's possible, but never the less you're talking out of your arse.

That's obviously not what we've been talking about.

... Considering a WRC car and a road driven STI/EVO are a "bit" different I would imagine they'd sound different too. I also doubt the WRC cars have BOVs that are blocked up. Either they have em, or they don't.

The sound from S14's and S15 with stock bovs is another one.

the reason they make it once you increase boost is that the plumback return line is too small and it can't vent enough back to the inlet.. this causes fluttering.

You say that BOVs don't flutter. Here you say they do.

I guess it doesn't matter anyway because I have a s15 stock BOV and even with 20psi it handles it fine and goes a nice woooshkaa through my piping when it "blows off".

THERE IS NO BOV THAT VENTS MAKING A FLUTTERING SOUND

Flutter - noun,

Rapid fluctuation in the pitch of a sound reproduction resulting from variations in the speed of the recording or reproducing equipment.

If we take out recording and reproducing equipment for the sake of what the word is being applied to here I think you'll find BOVs do flutter. They just don't cause reverberations unless they're tightened.

So thanks for dropping the IQ 200% ... :Bang:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
