Gtr Bovs

[gun32gtr]

hey all,

just a quick question.i read a thread somewhere,and someone that owned a gtr said that there standard bovs are really loud and make a good sound.not that i am 1 to care about the sound,its just mine only ever are heard when its dead quiet?my car is only running standrd boost,airbox etc?is that right for them not to be heard?or are they not doing the job?

also i no there plumb back?but as i said the bloke said hes was loud.cheers gun32gtr

also did a search and nothing was being found

stick some pods on, and a bit more boost and then you'll hear em

The airbox makes it all quiet indeed

some gtrs with the 2530's ive seen/been in can get the BOV's going off in sequence. Seen it on stock turbo'd gtrs too. Its really quite interesting and funny to hear , hard to describe.... all the while you get the benefits of the best BOV's you could b using.

Im running 1 bar, with pods exhaust, and even then at low revs i can still hear the air sucking through the pods and the bovs. but mine arnt like the after market high-pitch-sneez things. its more of a KOOSH (its hard to write sounds.)

mine has pods and stock boost (and 1 bar), its a really short and fast release, like a PSSHOW, annoying when u are on the freeway and going up an incline and it keeps bouncing on the BOVS...hehe but yeah, pods should make it louder

lol, need a "describe your BOV's noise with letters" thread

My bov are plumb back and they sound like "pooooofr" lol,

something like that, but it not loud or anything. So I am very happy with the stock bov.

I've know ppls with skylines and other turbo car using their bov to intimidate other cars, as "I have a turbo" lol

Damn, I hate the high ptich noise of some of the aftermarket ones makes.

thanks for all the feed back fellaS....i was thinking of getting some pods for the gtr soon anyway,but dont think i will trust the turbos with anymore than standrd boost at the moment as i dont have the $$$$$$ to put some new ones on..the sound it makes i cANT for the life of me describe,but thanks again?

also if ne ones knows of some pods for sale good ones please pm me cheers kane.

anyone else want to describe there bov sound lol

[druzilla32]

mines more of a "Kooooferrr" sound

thats with apexi pods.

i thought its just the pods making the noise, and if the bovs are plum back they make basically no noise even with pods?

I couldn't hear any induction noise on my 34 GTR until i removed the factory wheel arch intake plug (airbox is plumbed into the wheel arch and front bar on 33s and 34s - not sure about that on 32s - they plug the wheel arch hole from the factory for noise emission purposes).

After I removed it i could hear a lot of induction noise and quite a loud noise from the blow off valves. When driving up hill on boost if you back off the throttle a little bit but not all the way you will hear the valves firing seperately.

I describe it as a "choofle", if that makes sense.

I could drive around choofleing all day, and it does sound pretty good on the right revs when goin up a hill and accelerating a bit then backing off(choofle-oofle-oofle), but it gets pretty annoying if you're trying to maintain a certain speed. Oh, the prices we pay to drive supercars.

yeh thts more the sound i could not right it....so what pods does everyone use mainly,as in which are the best????????

also what this wheel arch hole u can remove,i thought i most well take it of its easy,as i have the front bar off
