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.

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.

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:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
