Will A Screamer Sound More Proper/less Pissi On A Internal Gated Hks 2540?

[Dean_HR31]

Hey guys,

Just a simple little question... gotta HKS 25/40 being installed on my R33 and just contemplating the idea of the screamer pipe...

I had one a while back also on an R33 and sounded wicked under full throttle but really ghey at half throttle.. like an exhaust leak... Just wondering since a HKS 25-40 is obviously laggier than a stock r33 turbo will the crappy exhaust leak noise be minimised at half throttle as it wouldnt spool up as easy/earler as the HKS turbo..??

Thanks!

they sounds pretty lame on any internal gate turbo in my experience. and will always be leaking some gas as it's nigh on impossible to really seal one up as the turbo oulet flange is not designed for that.

Just so you realise the screamer will be VERY loud. I had one for a while but i got rid of it as it was just too loud for me and i love things ear piercingly loud. I once overtook a car with both windows down and the sound rebounding into the car was crazy loud.

internal gate screamer... not a fan BUT external gate screamer HELL YEAH, i luv when mine opens 25psi with the t04z. 45mm gate mmmmmm lol

You guys probably just havnt heard many screamers done PROPERLY on internal gate turbos.. mine sounded ***** wicked on my old 33 with a 3inch & no cats, 12psi, power fc etc. Only time it sounded ghey was at half thottle.. sounded like a bit of a tractor..

But im thinking with an aftermarket turbo like a HKS 2540 the gate doesnt open as early/easy as it does on a standard turbo so i shouldnt hear much of that tractor noise...

can anyone confirm this?

a tractor and wicker dont really go in the same sentence for me...

[Dean_HR31]

Well it wasnt actually the same sentence.. I put in a full stop and started a new sentence.. Maybe your referring to the 'same paragraph?'

at the end of the day its up to u, ur car... i just know from hearing dozens of internal gated screamers they dont sound anything like an external gate.

I think we have just heard to many bad examples of home made screamers on stock R33's etc running near stock boost on standard turbos..

We'll see how it sounds on mine running 16psi on the 2540, plus im now running GTR rods so ill be getting more RPM too

[R31Nismoid]

and extra 500rpm wont make much difference to anything

But no, ive heard non-backyard creations, in fact none of the ones ive heard were backyarders

[PM-R33]

Internally gated screamers sound gay. Full stop. There's maybe one out of 100 that sound allright.

[Dean_HR31]

an extra 500rpm still makes me happy

oh well, we'll see how it sounds on mine. As long as i dont get the tractor noise at half throttle ill be happy, cos the rest sounds good.

Hmm... I'm a wierdo... my BOV is plummed back with a bigger pipe to make less sound... My 3" exhuast isnt the quietest but it sounds like a fart can on an excel when idling and mid revs is just a drone.... sounds fugn aces with WOT.... like an old 70's turbo F1 car only way not...

AND...

I f..g love it.

trust me... any extra noise you get in your car will only serve to shit you in the long term.... specially if you cruise any distance.... unless you can tune it out....

Oh yea... I don't get a second look from police unless their in the mood to make trouble for anyone in particular...

My mate had an screamer on his gtst, he soon after got rid of it. As gts4 dreamer says above any extra noise you get in your car will only serve to shit you in the long term. i second that
