I am sorta interested in making the turbo louder. I work around jets all day(aircraft mechanic), and i figured it would be cool if i could hear a little more spool. Currently I can hear when the windows are up. But wanted to know if they would ever be as loud as say a roots type blower?

Run it with no filter, tubing etc. just open turbo inlet. :-)
Although this would be very bad for daily driven car.

Runing a K&N cone filter will make it a bit louder and increase performance.

 

Get a huge turbo and run tubing to your window and put the filter at the end as you should to keep all that dirty stuff out of the turbo and engin. Or use pannyhose :-)

 

Get rid of the stock air box... Get yourself a straight turbo inlet duct... get rid of that crazy S-type set up... Mine has a straight TID and a mushroom type filter.. When it spools you can hear it suck in the air and the high pitch turbo noise...

 

nice i'm getting the hks smf i cant wait to hear what it sounds like

 

Have an exhaust leak on your downpipe, my non-rotary sounds like a 747 even when its still in vacuum. i gotta get around to fixing that ,gets me some odd looks But seriously though, any metal tubing in the intake system will help add some noise.

 

787b

 

i am looking to do this right now but i need a small bend in it and i need it to go from 2" to 3"
did you make yours or do they sell them

 

I still have the stock airbox and TID and people can hear my turbo spooling over my loud *** single N1 exhaust....

 

well there is one way to my your turbo quite loud, stick a micrphone up next to your turbo and then hook the microphone up to your PHAT stereo
p.s. sorry with a thread like this i had to be an ***, no offense

 

the S shaped TID is ribbed specifically to muffle these kinda sounds...

make a hard intake pipe with cone filter and that'll help.... ( u can BOV to atmosphere after that if u want to)

the other reason our turbo's aren't that loud is the Top mount IC piping route is SO short..
Go FMIC with hard pipes and see the difference...

 

The noise a supercharger makes is from the gears that drive the lobes, so you will never hear a noise like that from a turbo.

 

open downpipe!

 

that's was i was thinking. i've also heard of bov's like blitz's make loud spooling noises. unless you wanna go on ebay and buy the cheesy thing u hook up on the muffler to make the sound

 

My turbo sounds like I"m running 25psi, when I"m only running 8 :/

 

screw the downpipe, run the exhaust streight out the turbo. im sure thats the effect you are looking for -alex

nice...

 

As has been mentioned, a TID makes a big difference. It does sound pretty cool.

You could also take a pair of clippers to your turbo and remove a peice of compressor or turbine to unbalance the turbo. It will really wail, but you'd be seriously compromising it's lifespan.

So it has been proposed that the naturally aspirated R26B form a 787B will make a louder turbo sound?

 

"My turbo sounds like I"m running 25psi, when I"m only running 8 :/"

thats because your wheel has to much play. I had another turbo that did this. It sounded mean as hell because the wheel was hitting the housing. Won't be long before you will be replacing it or it blows through your engine.

 

Go standalone, and get that ridiculous AFM out of the way of your turbo...

 

if that's the case then lets add 2 more rotors i'm sure its not THAT hard! heh heh

 

Get 2 huge T88s and slap them on there. Dont forget like 6 Bosch 1600cc injectors and a Haltek.

 

r u retarded?

 

gran tourismo 4 lets you turbo the 787b
