I was wundering if i could some how get the whitstle of a turbo with out purchasing the turbo?? One reason is i dont wanna spend 3g's eek.gif for the whistle sound and plus i am all SHOW and NO GO tongue.gif

 

If you find a way to do this than people (aka other ricers) will assume you want to be all go and no show but can't.

 

Uhhhhh... eww sad.gif

I won't go into my normally huge rant, but why did you ever put this in Engine/Intake/Exhaust if you don't even want the part? This question should probably go into the show section.

The "whistle" of driving is caused by the actual turbines spinning at 50k+ RPM's and thus beating through the air. You really can't duplicate that.

The blowoff sound of venting positive manifold pressure to atmosphere can be "duplicated" very poorly by an electronic blow-off valve sound generator/maker.

But I promise you, no matter where you live and what your car looks like, if I so much as hear you PEEP that you have that device I will drive my happy self to wherever you are and burn your car.

Sadly, your main concern shouldn't be with me destroying your car, it should be with all the people on the street that laugh their asses off at the pathetic attempt to 'sound' cool. This is rice-dom taken to the ultimate extreme.

Save yourself the embarassment and do NOT do it. Or if you do, save yourself the harassment and don't tell any of us.

I'm going to agree with Red VERY strongly on this issue.

 

OK U DONT HAVE TO BE DIKS rolleyes.gif I just had bad experience with racing OK!!!!!! So wut if i like the sound i bet everybody duz and plus i have a life too, (when R U gona race on the Oval track for a LIVING??? rolleyes.gif )

 

Um? I don't race professionally, I'm no longer sponsored by ANYONE, and I'm spending a LOT of money on my turbo project.

If you don't have the money, that's fine. But don't bitch, whine, cry and complain when people (just like us) slam your dumb ass for putting such an incredibly STUPID modification on your car.

Show is one thing... Making the car unique and different, not to immitate speed but to provide an attractive display.

A fake "turbo sound" is stupid. It's to imitate speed -- it's blatently saying "Hey look, I SOUND fast so I must be cool!" That's not show, that's a penis-size contest; you'll always lose with a fake.

You think we're slamming you bad? Just wait till you put that thing on your car and a few people hear it. You don't know "dicks" until people start trashing you to your face. The internet is anonymous, you can ignore us and blow us off. People who live in the same housing area / apartment complex / general city area as you are REAL PEOPLE and you'll have to see them every day talking shyt, pointing and laughing.

Think about it,

LMFAO!

 

Uh. I gotta say Ditto.

If you think Red is being hard on you, drive down to your local Car/Rice hangout and ask they guys there what they would think of a car with a $200 turbo/blow off valve simulator/speaker. (that's want they cost, and yes, they actually make them!)

I think you will find Red is being kind.


If you wanna go SHOW, go SHOW, not RICE! When your car is parked at a car show, do you know how incredibly STOOOPID it is going to look sitting sit..with the engine off, making Turbo noises out of a tin-y little speaker? Save the money and CHROME something, install NEON, Put GRAPHICS on the car...anything but a Turbo Simulator speaker....

 

Really, the guys arent' being dicks they're just trying to give some good advice. No one likes to see poser-ricers. NOONE. People will slam you for having faux-turbo noise. They'll slam you twice as hard for putting it on a hyundai.

Do everyone and yourself a favor and help give a Hyundai a step up into a nice looking show car, and not a step down into a cheap rice sounding Honda-wannabe.

 

Ditto what everyone else said. As soon as people hear that they are gonna want to know what's under your hood and when you can't show them a turbo they are gonna laugh their collective asses off and make comments like "you can't turbo a hyundai so he just put a speaker in" and things like that. It is penultimate rice and as such is just totally gay. Also if you got in trouble for racing, it's not the cars fault. If I had a turbo it would be for my gratification to drive it, not to race every scmuck I see. You as the driver have to show restraint, the car doesn't just race itself. My friend has a 225 hp Mustang Gt and it's pretty damn fast but he doesn't get in trouble, because he drives with his brain not his penis! Not trying to rag you out really but DON'T DUE THE FAKE BLOW-OFF VALVE. People will laugh at you.
