Hi guys,

before ppl say dont worry about the sound or as long as it goes,im just trying to understand still why my hiflow turbo which is a pu hypergear hiflow turbo .82 doesnt have loud sucktion noise hardly at all like my stock turbo.

i have an aftermarket b.ov plum back,3 inch metal intake pipe and drift pod.same as wat i had on my stock turbo.

the car pulls fine been on dyno power run but not really tuned full on.it does make a slight flutter and the pssshhh sound from the bov but at almost fullboost/full throttle.

theres hardly any sucktion sound as i thought this turbo being big and all would sound awesome.the minimal sucktion sound ive noticed does sound a lil rough like shhhrrrrr not that clean loud type.

is there some problem with my set up to this turbo or maybe thats how they are......

Does anyone have any experience on these turbos or how they sound cause doing my head in lol at the moment cause feels great but doesnt sound rite....

Wouldnt worry bout the sound if it drives good mate ive found the stock turbo induction noise to be quite loud. Ive gotta Garrett Gtx3071 on my car and i was bit pissed like you initially as you can barely hear my turbo compared to the stockie and its a 560hp turbo lol! But enjoy the stealth sound mate as it doesnt attract the wrong attention

What about the actual spooling/suction noise from pod is it loud sargerx8 on yours when hitting boost? i removed the b.o.v and hardly hear any flutter at all or suction noise from pod :/ ...

what intake type pipe and pod do you have ?

i got the rb25 turbo on my rb20 and its really noisy, sucking and hissing, probly the wastegate slightly open when not on full throttle,

When i put my foot down i cant hear the turbo hardly at all, just a big pshh when i take the foot off.

Try driving around with less throttle. or if that doesent work you could set it up shit like mine with no computer upgrade or boost controller.

Split dumps can sound cool too, i got a cheap and nasty one (JJR) and it has a stupid flange bit which doesent fit and has to be ground back so it makes a whizzing sound when the gasses go around it.

Im hoping to eliminate some of the noise, its ALL THE TIME and im over it.

Yea i do have an upgrated ecu and boost controller and still nothing...can hear the turbo spool slightly when i put my foot down and a big psshhh release from bov. sound like n/a lol

everyone is over the sound/noise spool and i wanna be over it too haha...maybe get it checked out by someone just incase.

My Garrett 2871 is pretty loud all round.

If you want noise, HKS t51r KAI, you will have a jet under the hood lol!

I think it's just rb's stock turbos are loud a prob the loudest standard turbo I've ever heard.

The new turbo will be more efficient and the blades will be more aerodynamic etc and it will be doing a better job with less air/friction resistance hense your power increase and less noise.

Wouldn't worry bout it mate.

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
