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

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.

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 :P

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.

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.

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
