Wierdest BOV sound..

[VTC-8OY]

WuZzup boys.. i'm looking for a BOV, but im after something different, just wondering what's the wierdest sounding BOV you've heard, yet still quite loud to hear even with low boost. Help by putting Brand/Model/Prt no./type.

thanks dudes

[incoming]

haha i only heard 3 kinda BOV sounds

the standard "psscchhttt" sound
the "tu tu tu" sound
and the really loud but short "til" sound

is there any other sounds?

[tRipitaka]

i've heard one off turbod16.com and it was made to sound like a turkey..

i reckon the most popular is the HKS SSQV bov..
but try the Greddy Type S bov.. sounds about the same but i think sounds better..

[VTC-8OY]

yea i like the sound of the ssqv but they are pretty common...
got the link to the turbod16.com one?
want sumfin that will get people going "whatttttt da fvvvvvccccckkkkkk was that', in a good way that is..

[SiR JDM]

lol @ duck

[integraz]

SSQ is popular.. not super dooper loud, but sounds cool with the tu tu tu at low boost, but at high boost changes and goes WHOOSH, which is cool, so 2 sounds for the price of one.
type-s is in your ear loud, a golf gti went past me once, and i had the window down and it was seriously loud, nearly blew me ear off.
And it'll have the "look at me" type of thing, if u want that...

Then... I think theres the Apexi one, im not sure if it is that one or not, but it has this sort of electronic sound.. its realli funni, doesnt sound like a BOV,so u could get that for being different, but its either Apexi twin chamber BOV OR Blitz im not quite sure though, however I've heard people tell me the Blitz BOV is just a straight whoosh...

lol erm the tu tu tu sound means u got no blow off valve. :D

[Miss Chanel]

When shopping for my bf's BOV, i found that Greddy Type S sounds a bit funny.. high pitched, a bit sharp... and also the HKS SSQV has interchangable fins to get different sounds. :)

lol isnt the tu tu tu sound ur talkin about from the pod filter?

[Banana]

HKS SSQ is alwayz the best.

[VTC-8OY]

hmmm anyone heard of the turboXS RFL bov? apparently they are meant to be the loudest/ if not, the 'LOUDEST' bov on the market.. anyone heard these before? if so, what type of pitch do the make?..

[EGB18CT]

Turbosmart or GFB make whistling BOV similar to the high pitched "Ttiiiilll"

[Sexc86]

hks super squ doesnt sound nearly as good as the greddy type S imo

[Scandrew]

all these high pitched bovs sound ghey. get a real bov, a traditional one like a turbosmart vee port, etc. vmMMMM psshhhhhhtTT! not vmmmMMMM ching! :p

[EuroAccord13]

The classic Apexi Twin Chamber is the one to go!!!!

"tu tu tu tu" at low boost and "PSSSSSSSSSSSH" on high....

[aimre]

cooler doze

[A.G.System]

Your thinking the VTEC induction noise

The tu tu tu noise is ment to mimic an internal wastegated turbo or wastegate flutter as they call it.

Personally feel that if you need to let everyone know you have a turbo by having a loud BOV you also need to make sure your car aint defectable in any way. Cos the cops are going to be looking.

not necessarily loud, but sumfin more different, unique.. cops wise, defects aint a problem, im with the AUVIS ;)

[heist]

i have an ARC bov, not installed yet, anyone know what noise it makes?

Here is The HKS SSQV BOV on my bros GTR

[bennyBear]

Meh, bov's are so 2005, lol.

IMO external wastegate and a screamer at WOT. Cant beat it, sounds ferocious, if someone can tell me how to post up a video i've got one of a 550hp 180sx at WOT with external gate and screamer, sounds the shit!!

[ek4-guy]

please tell me your not running 6-8 pound boost cause if you are your bov will always sound pissant. Thats why stock turbos dont run then cause there is no use at low boost its more a look at me thing.
An yes car companys could use them an still comply as now have ones that vent into the manifold an not the atmosphere

[bennyBear]

and rotflmao at duck

[bennyBear]

here we go, its a bit dark but crank your speakers!!!

I heard a BOV on a Jap GT car while watching a DVD (think High Octane). It was yellow R34 GT-R from a Jap engineering shop. Sounded like metal hitting metal (in a good way). Nothing like I've heard before. Totally diff to the HKS, Apexi, Turbosmart, Greddy's etc. Anyone know what that is?

[joyride]

You

The tu tu tu noise is ment to mimic an internal wastegated turbo or wastegate flutter as they call it.
the 'tu tu tu tu' noise is from the actuator wastegate, or otherwise known as the above.

and highly illegal too :rolleyes:

What the **** is an "actuator wastegate". The noise has nothing to do with the wastegate. It is the compressed air slipping past the compressor blades as it is still rotating.

you should have heard the indy cars a few years back exactly what your sayin. we stay on track an the sound is so bad u have to get away for a while somtimes.but you could still hear then for miles sounded like metal could not make sutch a big noise without something breaking

sorry its the wastegate actuator, and if you dont know what it is, you can google it noob.

[string]

sorry its the wastegate actuator, and if you dont know what it is, you can google it noob.
So please explain to me how it can possibly make a noise even remotely sounding like air rushing through a hole, if it does not come in contact with any air in the charge pipes?

[superR]

just get a turbosmart andjustable bov so you can make it sound however you want.

[Scandrew]

lol. When on the throttle the turbo spools up and compresses air forcing it into the throttle body. When the throttle is let off the throttle body flap closes and the air being forced into the throttle body basically hits a brick wall (throttle body flap) causing pressure to build and the air is pushed back through the turbo blades . As the air gets pushed back through the blades it goes "tu tu tuu tuu".

A wastegate actuator is used to limit boost. There's a hole on the exhaust side of a turbo which is covered by a flap which is connected to a rod which is connected to the wastegate actuator. A turbo uses exhaust gases to spin the turbos fin on the exhuast side, so (on most stock Nissans) when 7psi is reached the wastegate actuator pushes the rod which opens the flap so that the exhaust gases flow out the hole instead of continuing to spin the fins which prevents the turbo from creating more boost.

[ek4-guy]

and what you tryin to say

[bennyBear]

^^^wastegate prevents overboost, which even though it sounds really cool in "warp speed doctor spok" kind of way, is really, really bad for your engine. Detonation anyone?!?

lols Benny.

[bennyBear]

^^^basically gives airflow an exit at WOT rather than cramming excess through the snail. (turbo)

[string]

No it doesn't. It redirects exhaust past the turbine blades, not compressed intake air past back into pre-turbo intake.

Option B is possible, and usually used on positive displacement superchargers such as roots, but in the case of a turbo, would cause excess axel speeds and probable loss of efficiency.

The "tu tu tu" noise has nothing to do with wastegates. An engine without a wastegate can and will still make the same noise under the same circumstances.

lol, i really don't think you should be buying a bov for the noise it makes but rather its functionality......

each to their own though, if you really want a noise which no one else has, i think its impossible. but if you want a unique noise which differs from your everyday bov just go the ssqv or the type s. btw, the add on trumpet for the gfb's do hardly anything so don't bother with those :P

[mrwillz]

HKS SSQ is alwayz the best.

yep

ssqv=replica

It's not impossible... Run no BOV. You will get a noise which is pretty unique..

[bennyBear]

or go buy yourself some wind instruments, make something unique,

(laughs at duck call) i reckon a kazoo would sound nuts, or a train whistle, lol.

[defect]

many people run no BOV, which is NOT unique at all.
but YES, it sure sounds awsome. :)

[string]

Sure the fact that your running without isnt unique, but the sound sure is. Car to car, it will sound much more unique than any off the shelf BOV will car to car.

[DC4]

ARC BOV's sound wicked. mates got one on his 32 and is running 1.8 bar and sounds fu**in awesome!!!!!!!!!

[TRU32U]

TWIN super sequential HKS is the bombbbbbbbbb
thats if you have enuff boost or twin turbos =P
not too loud and not too soft
too loud can and will get annoying... take it from me!!!
