Sorry guys, can't do it with my winter wheels on! I have to wait until the weather warms up so i can catch traction with my BFG G-forces I also have a series of mods to do before I unleash the beast from 0-topspeed :wink:

What's that funny sound between shifts?

Do all turbo cars have this funny sound?

not all, that is the sound of the blow off valve. it functions to let all the extra boost pressure into the atmosphere, so you hear this big "PSHHHH" sound.

personally id get a turbo just for the sound

Wicked.

I miss the sound of a bov and turbo spooling. I'll have to get my 3S-FTE running again.

Funny sound? I think it sounds wicked. Ever heard airbrakes on a semi or a bus?

Most turbocharged cars have a recirc valve which recirculates the excess pressure back into the intake before the turbo. With this you don't hear any blow off noises.

The sound happens when you vent the excess pressure into the air. This is usually done with a blow off valve (bov).

Heres a pic of my Blitz BOV. :wink:

The blow off valve helps vent off excess boost pressure to the atmosphere as soon as the throttle is let off. Without it, the inertia of the air going to the engine (the boost created by the turbo) that is being stopped by the throttlebody will "kick back" at the turbocharger; as a result, it will damage the turbo because of the sudden deceleration of the turbine.

So other than having those cool sounds and creating threat to other drivers on the road ( ), it is beneficial to have a BOV.

ummm....I'd say into the 13s easy with that kinda boost....and if he ran it at max with the 12/13psi.....woah.....

[Tony the Tiger]

12-13psi...mmmmmmmmmmmm nah, need my car still

I can definitely feel the power of a 13 sec car right now in my Camry... but I have to see how the traction will be and how the gearing does for 1/4 mile racing. On the highway, it pulls like a bitch with the super long 3rd gear (my favourite gear)

[Eye8Pussies]

ahhhh.....you know you wanna do it.!!!

and I've got the feeling that you probably will at some point of time, no? just make sure you've got some time-slips and cameras when you do it!

and thanks for answering my Q e-mail.... (safc wiring, level 10, etc etc)
