does anyone have a sound or video clip of their car when you are at full boost and the wategate is open. for some reason i dont think that my waste gate sounds right(by the way i have a tial wategate with a ddump tube)

 

You'll know when the wastegate opens if you have an open dump. Sounds almost like a loud lawnmower on crack or something If you are on high speed you can check out my vid and listen for it. http://www.5thgencivic.com/video/z6turbo.avi

 

On my next setup I want the wastegate sound to be deeper, how can I accomplish that, larger piping? I had an open dump, it was friggen loudd, but I always wished it was deeper.

 

hmmm.........maybe a motorcycle muffler

I agree...sounds like ****...like huge exhaust leak

 

It blocks out the nice sound of the turbo spooling..

if the wastegate is fully open, the turbo ain't spooling anymore

 

owned

 

I think open wastegate is one of the meanest sounds out there Theres nothing like an openwastegate ripping down the track.

Uh actually yeah you are "spoolin" if your wastegate is open!! The turbine doesn't stop spinning if your wastegate is letting off pressure. It just stops the turbine from creating more "boost". Hence the term "waste" in wastegate. F' jackasses that think they know it all and then the followers. Typical of H-T, "LostCRX" you really are lost in this topic. Do you even know what your talking about???

 

thanks for the info people, thats what is sounds like" A big exhaust LEAK".

 

by spooling I was referring to "create more boost" I know the wheel doesnt stop spinning , that is why your staying at your desired boost,,, but the turbo doesnt create more boost, hence the sound is quiter from the wheel when it doenst create boost, that's all!

there is no better sound...... its priceless..

 

mine i think sounds good but i have a 2" pipe and it has about 3 bends on the way down to right by the pully it is like the motor turns to a wild motor when it opens esp just before vtec

 

does channeling it into your downpipe lose horsepower? I mean sure you'll technically lose a little... but how significant is it?
