"Woooooossshhhsssshhsssshssshhhhsss" BOV

REAP · February 02, 2009, 05:29:16 AM

Now, for everyone who thinks this is stupid and a waste of time, you have no imagination.

A turbo 180sx just went past my place and made that lovely sound "Woooooossshhhsssshhsssshssshhhhsss"

I thought about what my bike would sound like with that, sure would be a real head turner.... Now i know that you need a turbo to have a BOV but I was just wondering if there is another way around to have a BOV without a turbo. If a turbo is a MUST i do have a spare sitting in my garage which came off my VW Beetle. Yes i have read over the previous threads on this topic but having a bike with that noise is just too good to pass up.

Any ideas on this topic, is it possible to get that "Woooooossshhhsssshhsssshssshhhhsss" noise from my gs?

Eat a can full of beans before each ride.

Lol, could work if you fart into a microphone.....

But seriously.... ideas?

put a flapper on the exhaust (like big rigs) and drill a small hole in it. then it would shshsshhshhssh wooosh anyway. get people to listen backwards

there are two known gs500's that have been turbo'd. search the forum for "ice turbo" or.. i forgot the other

two options

or the blow off valve speaker which i can't find a link for right now.

I think you need whistle tips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVJTJpfknSc

Haha, the fake turbo noise from http://www.turbowhistler.net/blow-off-valve/index.htm is pretty funny but makes the cars sound like there is something wrong with the engine. Still looking.....

Thats such a joke. *all your friends will wonder what u have under the hood* .. not quite..

mach1 · February 02, 2009, 05:47:43 PM

All those things suck ass. They have blow-off valves for non turbo cars I forget how they run and work but they sounded good, let me find it

Canonball · February 02, 2009, 08:02:01 PM

just put a turbo on it

makenzie71 · February 02, 2009, 08:39:33 PM

ditto...turbo it...I'd like to see another one...

If you just want the sound, just weld the turbo inline with your stock exhaust and vent it to the atmosphere... You'd get that wicked sound without all the hassles of reworking your intake system only to melt your valves...

So far the best idea is from mach1, if you could find that BOV that works without a turbo that would be grand

A BOV for a non-turbo car? How can that work? BOV needs positive manifold pressure to open the diaphram (SP?) to vent, and a non-turbo car will never hit positive manifold pressures?!

Thanks,

Nick

I'm imagining a parallel-twin sewing machine with a faux blow-off sound rather vividly.

You could add an air tank to bike and just vent that every time you rolled off the throttle...

either pressure sensor reads vacuum when you close the throttle or you have to cut into a tps or something to read a change in resistance and that triggers some electronics that plays the "Woosh" sound through a speaker you mount somewhere. neat eh?

utgunslinger13 · February 03, 2009, 03:30:23 PM

sorry but speaking as a guy who will never own a non-turbocharged car, I hate that there is a device to fake the fact that you sound like your turbocharged!

The sound will not make you faster, either will altezza's, or lowering your car with a big fart can and nothing else!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
