i test drove an r32 today but didn't buy it coz it was pretty f**ked. anyways, the car was a stocker only mod it had was a POD air filter....

i must say i was pretty f**kin surprised at how loud those things spool up :P from 2.5-3000rpms all you hear is SSSSSSSSSS

and now almost a whole day later and i just can't get that sound out of my head i'm obsessed with it. i'm talking about the turbo spool up on an RB20 ofcourse i dont know if sound wise its the same as an RB25 (R33) ?

i am definately buying an RB powered car now ffs the thing only had a pod :P

if anyone has any sound files or something please post it up i cannot get enough of that noise!!!

cheers

looked all over youtube there are some good ones but yeah not exactly the noise i'm after...

don't think i'll ever get sick of driving a car that sounds like that lol. i mean i've heard lots of skylines drive by that sound similar but its only when your actually in the car or driving it that you get to attached to it :P

I had a DRIFT pod on mine and the sound was sweet as and pretty loud. couldnt keep it on often on account of the 2 induction mods but dam it sounded sweet. Like that guy said above, it'll save you buying a bov, you wont have to worry about a drop in performance and unlike the venting bov's which only make noise when u back off, with a pod youll get a loud induction noise then an even louder bov noise but in the same tone (as opposed to a quiet whine then a shhhhht). sounds sweet!

haha I have a r32 with apexi pod and stock bov. It's so loud on boost. Love the sound.

I'll try and record my car later tonight if you still after the sound.

I heard the r33 bov is louder than r32 and can be swapped onto the r32 :D

Edit:

Im at uni atm so cant hear sound;

Does this vid have the pod sound?

yes you should record yours :(

nah that clip doesn't sound anything like it lol.

basically any turbo car will make that induction noise with a pod. my mate had major timing issues (timing belt jumped a tooth) on his CA18 powered 180 and it would spool from 1500rpm. it wouldn't go anywhere (probably would've run about a 30 second 1/4 mile, and i'm not joking), but it sure sounded fast. but some pods won't make any noise. the k&n pods that are bigger at the top than where they clamp onto the intake don't make any spool noise, but you can hear the bov. i had one on my old 180sx and a mate had one on his r33. but soon as you change to a normal pod you can hear it again.

^^ driven a 180sx(sr20) and and an r32 both stock except for a pod. there's a huge difference with the induction/spool/loudness etc. both had the same pod aswell......well they looked the same anyway..

Edited by R-SPEC

I have a 3" turbo back exhaust with high flowed cat and a Simota pod filter on my 32. Otherwise the engine side of thigs are stock. With these I get massive amounts of induction noise and quite a loud bov sound also. If I turn off stereo I can hear bov when i release accelerator at any revs... and at 100km/h there is constant induction sound. I like it!

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
