hey as stated i got an 33 gtst, its got hks sequential bov an hks mushroom filter..

it sucks quite loudly even when not accelerating much...as in just feel the car picking up speed an then take foot off an bov will sound...

not really what i want is it abnormal or just the way it is?

ide like to tone it down a bit so only can hear it at say 3000rpm

any suggestions would be sweet cheers

hey man i got the same problem, i got a boost guage and even before boost i hear it sucking and it doses wen i let the accelerator,,dunno wats wrong?

The only way to really tone it down is to replace the factory airbox and put in a performance panel filter. Many guys are running this setup and are very happy with the results.

The factory airbox will dampen the induction noise unlike the open filter that you are currently using.

yeah gonna hav to replace my POd anyway, i just put in a fmic yesterday so im defective at the moment,, the intercooler makes a nice flutter tho :D ,, got a standard bov as well

  • 1 month later...

i had the same problem, loved the sound of the pod filter to start with but after a couple weeks it got irritating. I changed it back to the factory air box but the snorkel wont fit over the intercooler pipe (still tyring to find a simple way around this)

love the sound of no pod though, can hear the turbo spinning which is much better than the sucking from the pod.

i noticed a big difference when i chucked in my FMIC and pod....the induction noise was definitely louder...now i have found its pretty simple..when accelerating dont hit any vacuum lol as i have blocked off my stock BOV it would flutter even with the slightest of vacuum....apart from putting the stock airbox back in there is nothing you would be able to do rather then with your right foot to stop the induction noise

    • Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.  
    • Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want. 
    • It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
    • I've seen tunes from big name workshops with cars making in excess of 700kW and one thing that stood out to me, is that noone is bothering with torque management. Everyone is throwing in as much timing as the motor can take for a pull. Sure that yields pretty numbers on a dyno, but it's not keeping these motors together for more than a few squirts down the straight without blowing coolant or head gaskets. If tuners, paid a bit more attention and took timing out in the mid range, managed boost a bit better, you'll probably see less motors grenading. Not to name names, or anything like that, but I've seen a tune, from a pretty wild GT-R from a big name tuner and I was but perplexed on the amount of timing jammed into it. You would have expected a quite a bit less timing at peak torque versus near the limiter, but there was literally 3 degrees of difference. Sure you want to make as much as possible throughout the RPM range, but why? At the expense of blowing motors? Anyhow I think we've gone off topic enough once again lol.
    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power
