blow off sound

rst off im new..... so be gentle . i am used to muscle cars and piston engines so try to make it easy for me. i do know things about turbos and rotarys but not a whole lot. i want a turbo II and was wondering how to get the famous loud turbo blow off sound. do they make a very loud blow off valve for the t2? or are they all universal? would it work with the stock (or alittle above ) psi? thanks.

any turbo car car make that noise. but all stock cars make it quiet on purpuse. all you need is a new blow off valve. there are many kits for the 2nd gen. they really don't make any difference at the stock boost levels besides the sound. I think you watched a certain movie to many times

actually i started looking in to RX7 turbos about 2 weeks ago. i was riding in my 73 satellite 340 and a FD drove past and rev. i heard that blow off and it sounded SO SWEET! then he whiped my ***! ever since then i have been looking into the turbo II's.
p.s. i have watched that move alot but mostly for the blown charger.

mine's pretty loud. I have the blitz kit. there are a few others too, they all sound different. so it's hard to know which one to buy if you can't hear them.

I've got a Greddy Blow off Valve.
For mine you could adjust the valve to make it woosh harder or softer.
From what I heard, the HKS makes the loudest Woosh (maybe because they're so freakin big!) That one is also adjustable.
WOOOSH WOOOSH. Yeah baby that **** sweet.

Don't quote me on this, but I think the HKS is universal.
I know my tuner is installing an HKS on his 3rd gen.
WOOSH WOOSH!!
haha

The pictures ain't that good cause the angle doesn't really show the aggressive stance that the coilovers makes

Talking

Damn now you got me thinking about getting white rims!!
The rims I got now are momo 6 star rims. The hub caps are gone hehe so they sorta look black but they're alum.
I am in the market for black rims (preferably volks since I'm getting an awesome deal).
