how to customize sound..

[RWD Maniac]

I dont think it's done through the exhaust, what i want to know is how to get that swishing" sound as opposed to the "chugging" sound... I hope someone knows what I am talking about...

because i saw a wrx making this nice swishing sound when he uh.. i think its when he is clutching.. i am not even sure.. I hope someone knows what i am talking about.

if not i will try to be more specific.

[BadAzz240]

Well, My friend happens to have a WRX that swishing sound when shifting is most likely the after market BOV(Blow Off Valve), for the turbo. Some are louder than others. Hope this helps...

[stealthj]

intake maybe? if not the BOV, be more specific

[dayna240sx]

hahaha this is a funny thread. Yeah its the BOV. I have GFB BOV in my WRX DOGG. I think they make electric fake BOVs but you will probably get made fun of.

LMAO fake bov...that's fucking great. Reminds me of this shit I was on Ebay a few weeks ago...fake NOS purge valves that just spray carbon dioxide out of a little jet in the hood. Talk about stupid. A plume of useless CO2 just to look like you have some more power under the hood. I wonder when I will see a ricer around here with the look AND sound of power, but still using his stock 4-banger with a coffee can exhaust.

On a side note I finally heard a decent sounding BOV...it was on a somewhat ricey mitsu eclipse. Actually I think it was the first time I've heard a BOV...barely even hear much for turbos around here. Maine has barely any cars that are even remotely modified past intake and exhaust.

OR you could just be cool and get a real turbo in your IS300. But it would be pretty expensive just to hear a noise.

[stealthj]

WTF? he actually meant the BOV?!

[mynismo]

BOV = blow off valve

just thought i'd point that out if no one knew

I'm sure there is something he knows that he considers common knowledge yet you don't know about it...

At least he is trying to learn about his ignorance. Another possibility is he isn't even talking about a BOV.......but I doubt that.

[RWD Maniac]

Okay, i dont know where you guys got the idea that I am just going to get a bootleg bov for my car, but i do not plan to.

I actually do not plan on doing anything to my car, I like it bone stock.
Thanks to the few people that answered my question, and whatever for the people that assumed that i am going to rice up my car, or some similar thought.

I am not VERY knowledgable about hooking cars up, but from my limited knowledge, i thought it was caused by an aftermarket turbo when the rpm drops, as a guess (guess my guess is somewhat off), but what threw me off from that guess was that the damn wrx was going like 15 mph, so i mentioned about the clutching part... didnt think about the bov.

i do go to school and do not get on the computer 24/7, i cannot reply during the mornings and afternoons, and if i dont reply it doesnt mean that i do not know what you guys are talking about.

sorry, but you guys are making this forum look bad, even if you are the usuals around here. If my question wasnt too "good" for you guys, just dont read it.. maybe ignore it? I dont know. There is no respect in the 240 forums anymore.
