boat Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 while on the topic are there any full plumback blow off valves that make a bit more noise than a stock one ?

someonestolecc Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 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?

SuAvE-1 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 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....

Goon Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 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!

Brazen Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'm after a BOV that'll sound like a the GTR stock noise - more of a screech than a pssht... any1 know of a BOV that has the GTR kinds sound output?

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.

Phantom32 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 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 If anyone knows what the wup wup wup one is please lemme know as it's the only one that would interest me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73109-site-with-bov-noises/page/2/#findComment-1349414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TTT Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73109-site-with-bov-noises/page/2/#findComment-1349868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
someonestolecc Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 my god..The total IQ of this forum dropped 200% with this thread. Keep reading... 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. 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. 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. ... 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.

racsov500 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 god this is really gay. your all such a bunch of ricers! just to add to this, i thought it was wastegates that make the 'fluttering' noise. like really slow and lazy sounding.
