I'm after a specific noise but i have no idea where to look - everyone thinks i'm nuts when i try to make the same sound....

Just cup your hands over your mouth and make a 'pssshhht' noise - or a 3-Stooges 'woo-woo-woo' when asking for it at Autobarn. Makes life more fun for others :D

While you're at it... repeat after me: "Luke, I am your father"

thanks SRG33 :( - too bad the site doesn't have what i'm after...

jamezilla - lol, i already tried that, they all think i've lost the plot!

The BOV i'm after sounds like an angry pigeon on speed.......if that makes sense to anyone..... :(

What type of brand BOV is it???

i've got the SSQV on my car, which is ok, but the whistling starts to get to ya after awhile....

grandmaster - sorry mate, i dunno what brand it is, if i did it'd make things a whole lot easier......my mate reckons it could be the SARD R2D2 - can anyone try and describe what sort of noise that makes?

Angry pidgeon on drugs?

I think it is a "type S" (Greddy i think).

A type S makes a high-pitch whistle noise at the beginning, 1/2 sec later the frequency comes down and fades out. Lasts about 2.25 secs depending on settings. could b an angry pidgeon??? hahahaha

    • Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?
    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
