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:

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
