yeah that's my car, and it says Mazdaspeed on the side.

Oh it makes a noise alright (atmospheric vented that is). It's the roar of your engine under heavy load, as heard from a straight pipe 5+ inches away from your exhaust ports! Not much of a whistling sound, but quite a hellish roar!

Yeah you're right. The whistling his absolutely nothing to do with the wastegate

Angel Guard Racing Team

What kind of whistle was it? It was the bullshit kinda whistle. That was added later for special effects. It was as much bullshit as the black car's wheelie. You guys should remember that The Fast and The Furious is ONLY a movie. If you want more rent or buy the special edition DVD so that you can see more on the bonus items. The movie is full of BS, someone who really knows drag cars would instantly tell you that some parts of the movie are just BS.

Ryde _Or_Die

I'm not sure why the black car getting off the ground is BS really. Maybe that particular car can't do it but cars can, thats why they have wheelie bars in the back. I mean how much HP did they say that car had, 600 or did they not say? I can't remember but I know cars can do that.

West TX RX-7

I think I read where they had like 7 of those eclipses.

As far as whistleing i think your talking about the BOV. Revvvv... poof.... revvvv.... pooofff.. the poof is the BOV. My TII whistles and continues to whistle for as long as i'm at positive boost. It's just the turbo winding up. Sounds like inside of an aircraft when they spool up the turbines you get a whistle. Well I can here my turbo spool up and stay spinning as long as i'm on the gas. Kinda neat to listen to.

Please get everything strait before pointing out all thw "wrong" things with the movie. Yes there was an amazing amount of things wrong tho.

As for the 2 civics jumping w/ the RX7, its not that hard to do and one was a Integra not a civic they are two totally different cars.

The sound was made from a blow-off valve, he reved it up then lit off the throtal(sp) like taping the gass in nutural(sp).

It is more than possable for the black charger(i think thats what it is, or camaro, im not sure) to do a wheel-e stand, just not on those tires(low profiles dont crincle well, but drag radials w/ sidewalls do), 900hp car = mad amounts of torque, more than any RX could get w/o a V8 conversion. People do wheel-e stands that actually bring the back tires off the ground so that the car is resting on the rear bumper and then drops back forward. The only thing keeping the Funny cars and Prostock cars from doing this is their wheel-e bar, and suspension.

Yea someone that KNOWS about drag cars, the black car could really do that... Some parts are BS, like when he engaged the NOS at over 140 and it set him back, it would not do that if he was really going that fast, and he would not look back going that fast. It is a movie and they didn't put enough research into the movie to pronouce things right, everyone i know calls NO2, N-O-S not "noss" or what by the name of the company that makes their kit.

Im not sure of if the Eclipse was a turbo or not.

InfiniIIIREX

Ever notice that he has 7 gears when he is "testing" out the eclipse in the beginning? I heard that they dubbed over the RX7's engine note with that of a V6! If you listen, the engine is pretty deep and quiet, we all know modded rotaries sound more like a loud scream, high pitched compared to piston engines. That blown Charger could do wheelstands, but did you notice how he held it? He wouldn't be able to do that without wheelie bars, which weren't shown on the car. The Eclipse sounds alot like Soul Assasin's car before he got a bridgeport, if you download the video where he does a burnout, when he revves the car it sounds alot like the Eclipse. Maybe they dubbed in a rotary engine note? There is alot of little stuff in that movie that pissed me off, like when he hits the nitrous going about 130 and his tires squeal! Also when they all stop at the cafe in the beginning, the guy w/ the Maxima asks Jessie whats wrong with his car, he says tune the NOS timer and he will run nines! I hope he meant in the 1/8 mile because there is no ******* way that front wheel car would be even capable of 10's and still be anywhere near streetable. I could see the Skyline doing that MAYBE, but a frickin Maxima? Come on. There is a lot more **** wrong with this movie, but I don't feel like going into it.

InfiniIIIREX

Oh and by the way, don't look on eBay, there is a RX7 with a 350 (V8). I don't know how he managed to have it weigh 2800 lbs with that cast iron small block in it. Even after that he still only thinks it will run mid 13's. He would have been better off with sticking to the rotary, but he is probably a dumb redneck anyways.

That whistling is probably his large (if its a T04) turbo spooling up.

You have a turbo II?
You had that white one with the blue stripes and blue decals, correct?

Do you not hear you turbo spool at WOT?

Everytime I hit the gas it will go (depending on gear) from 2500-3000 and then on I will hear a hissing noise. This is the turbo spooling and making boost

If you are talking about something different, I dont know what to say then

BoOsTin FD

I hear my turbo whistling when i boost it up, but that's not what i was talking about. And also somebody else said that that was BOV, i know what kind of sound BOV makes i have one and that is not it.

Everybody has it's own opinion about that, so let's just forget about it.
IT's a movie and they probably made it up.

Those sounds you hear in the movie are NOT from a wastegate, it is from the BOV(Blow off valve). If you want your car to sound just like in the movie, Get the Blitz Super Sound BOV, sounds great, but I dont know how well it performs. If you want pure performance and a slightly different sound, I would go with either an Apexi Twin Chamber BOV or an HKS Sequential BOV.



And that movie is almost ENTIRELY BS.

BTW it is supposed to be a 69 Dodge charger.
and that wheelstand was from a hydraulic lift under the car. Watch the special features on the DVD, shows the making of and whatnot, but even a 450HP car(IE tweaked fox body mustang) can pull a wheelstand, but not of that magnitude.

duffles

that movie is totally fake! if you notice, such things as when the red fd hits nitrous into the engine it is a cylinder engine not a rotary so don't believe everything you see at the movies.(by the way they had a couple eclipses built for that movie, some with and some without turbos, but all with the same body)

My Junx

actually dude, I'm pretty sure the part where they show you the nos entering the intake and such was on the eclipse...remember it runs out the bottle and along the tube right to the intake and it foggs out there....and whats up with that anyway, thats a dry fogger system, but they said it had direct port injection...and as long as I'm talking about errors in the movie how about at the beggining of the big race and you are supposed to follow the path of air through the RX7 engine and out the back as a big flame.....well did you notice that the camera view takes you inside the first rotar and right on into the second one before it blows out the back?!!?! there was no damn wall between the rotars!! But really who the hell cares bout that flick?!?! But if you want that "go-fast-sound" why not just slap a GS-R sticker on your car.. I hear they instantly add 15HP maybe check out "import decal" or "turbo hood" magazines too! Riiiiiight OK, I'm getting stupid...I'm out.
peace

BoostedRotors

boostin FC, you seem to go on the offensive a LOT and very quickly. Im guessing youve caught a lot of **** for your car. people calling it ricey and what not im sure. let me say this, while the majority of the things that youve done to your car, i would never do to mine...its your decision. if your setup serves your needs...screw what all the flamers say, this is all about self expression and individuality, who can put bounds on that? i say if it makes you happy, more power to you...you should NEVER have to defend your ride on here! lighten up, the ones giving you **** are the ones who dont truly get it...were all different, and that is what makes this forum so damn great!

peejay

this is funny

Angel Guard Racing Team

We race real drag cars and are NHRA certified drivers so we know buulshit when we see it, in order for a car to do a wheelie you need a lot of GRIP!!!!!. The black car had slicks that is OK. BUT no car will do a wheelie while making smoke from the tires. If a car smokes from the tires it means that they have no grip therefore there is not enough torque generated to pull the car up. As for the eclipse the sound was enhanced so that fools would actually believe that it does sound like that. do you remember that last scene? The one with the train? Guess what? The train was added later, sorry to burst your bubble but this movie only EXAGERATES the way a car can perform so that kids with money will go out and buy Blitz, HKS, Greedy, Apexi and other brands. In other words this movie is nothing but performance parts comercial. Some guys have more money in their engine than Abel Ibarra has in his RX-7 (exagerating a little) and they just look hi-tech but no impressive performance......wake up!!!!!

Angel Guard Racing Team

About the part of the nitrous.... Have you ever heard of Computer Graphics? or do you actually believe that there was a camera in there? Guys you start to worry me!!!!! LOL

Angel Guard Racing Team

As for brands, Turbonetics is the way to go.... Not fancy chrome car show bullshit.

wankelhead

man,i just really want a motech exhaust.......












.....is'nt this getting kinda old???

13B2QuIcKNy

maybe it was the fuel injection...... it couldnt have been the blow off valve.. because he was just tappin the pedal... he didnt even go to boost area in the powerband and i have to agree wit 1fastt2... wastesgates just sit there....they are kinda silent..
i hear the same whistling on my fc when i rev from idle to about 4500-5000 rpm... the little whistling sound.. everybody tells me thats the fuel injection...

BoOsTin FD

Thanks 13B2QuIcKNy Finnaly someone that knows what i'm talking about. I know it couldn't be BOV, because he didn't even boosted it. So it must have been something else.

My Junx

Yeah dude, I know it was all computer generated! But the fool who did the animation should have at least asked somebody what the hell it should look like and not just make it up! But hell All the little bullshit things in the flick just provide it with some great commic relief! It should be in the comedy section! But as I said, who really gives a flying nun?!?! I'm out.

Its a HKS SSBOV

A lot of people need to go and read up on turbos especially if they own a TII. I have never owned a turbo yet too poor ATM.. but soon

I am doing some homework before owning one and I do believe if you don't know how your car works.. Then don't try and flaunt it ...

And yes all those cars in FAF were so fake... They PASTED integra sounds and such on the cars... Surprised the charger sounded like a muscle car... They probably were going to put big BOV sounds, but they ran outa recordings... only thing good about the movie was it had cars that at least looked nice That's IT... NO ACTING, and no realism haha

13B2QuIcKNy

they move was straight up drama... it was just a cheap thrill for import lovers...it wasnt the realest movie but at least the rx7 WON!!!!! in the beginning! smoked a few hondas and a mitsu! thats good enough!!!!!
