Why Do Only R33's (turbo) Have The Pod-suction Sound?

[Spunky Munky]

im jumping on the 34 with loud induction noise bandwagon. i spool like a bitch

K&N pod

That's funny... then wtf, does my friends R34 sound like it's got no suction .. he's got a power FC - could it be this??

A computer isnt going to determine how loud your spooling is. Its got to do with A) the type of filter you have B) how much boost you are running. Also i noticed with mine it increased by putting on a front mount. If your talking about fluttering then you Bov will come into it depending on how tight you have the srew wound.

not just the difference in the turbos? dude i no has rb25 turbo on his rb20 hr31 and made very different induction sound. very similer 2 my mates stockish r33 (no pod).

dont mean that induction sound? but yea just throwin idea round...

I think I'll have to clarify slightly... R32s / R34s do have suction sounds... but much much smaller... perhaps this is a feature in R34's to make it more quieter an hence more cruisey... I don't know... but R33's have the Loudest suction sounds... love it or hate it... this is the truth...

haha ok. we believe you

seriousy, like 90% of everyones posts, its got to do with what type of pod. exposed/in a box. and how much boost.

wen my r33 had just a panal filter k&n, the induction noise was high pitched @ 12psi

then when i put the aluminum pod on, i got a louder deeper induction sound. sounds like the engine wants to suck in seagals haha.

I just got my stock BOV put be on... and guess what? The induction sounds different now...

my rb20det had gcg highflow turbo, 3" turbo back, HKS Mushroom pod, and no induction noise.

I just put on Front mount, hks ssqv and a plazmaman forward facing plenum, and now even on idle u can hear the bastard sucking air in from outside car with bonnet shut.

ATM getting a 4" intake pipe from stainless... should sound sick mate.

Man my car has the stock box (33)... People have said it sounds like a fugging jet following them!

And I have been in a few 32s/34s... way way less suction noise with pods...

For being nearly stock, my car is a freak!

I know its not a stock turbo/intake setup, but damn this sounds wicked!

on my old r33 gtst, i had a fair few mods, bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, power fc, turbo back exhaust, fmic, bov, pod and now i have an r34 with just a fmic, and pod filter. and the r34 has a louder induction sound, but the spooling on the r33 was alot louder, if that makes sense :S

Wonder why? I suppose the intention of this thread was to ask everyone (mechanically) why this is the case?
