M.net: Oh my turbo sounds too loud....
 

Like what do they expect with a turbo and an open intake, for it to be freaking quite like a 3 cly geo metro?

saw that last week...didn't know what to say....

I bet the intake in that cube of aluminum is pretty noisy. Cubes = nasty resonances. Remember sympathetic frequencies and contructive interference from HS physics?

IMO, a better mod would have been to line the heatshield with heat barrier to reduce resonances (and increase heat protection), and drill hole in the fender to change the interior shape and provide a cold air source.

Anyway, I've been having too much fun poking at Jeff Anderson and a couple of the mods there to care.

Biggest douche EVAR.

I'd much rather hear my intake whooosh than my exhaust.

I know how to make the quietest airbox.... I just don't have time.

large turbo inlet pipe --> large airbox / panel filter --> huge curved horn.

The horn will make noise go away. most of the intake noise is from the pressure gradient at the inlet being too steep. the horn makes it nice and smooth and ideally the inlet velocity at the centerline is... zero. no intake velocity, no noise!

There are definitely some weirdos on m.net. no doubt.

"Any suitable aftermarket speaker suitably connected to actual as-built OEM wiring constructions should provide reasonably well audio reproduction in so much as the person who suitably wields a reasonably substantial crimping tool may such forth and indeed use such tool to firmly make suitable connections and will produce reasonable reproduction suitable to typical miatas."

I laughed pretty hard while reading this (what ben posted). Sounds like Captain Jack Sparrow.

I was pretty shocked with how much louder the intake was on my car when I switched over to the link and removed the AFM. The spool up noise was a cool novelty at first. Bit if I could get it to be a little stealthier I would.

Wanting a more quiet car while still wanting a fast car doesn't make one an idiot.

what high school did you go to?:confused:

i love the turbo spool sound... why would you not want it? i was just remarking to myself the other day how fun it is just to drive around in vacuum listening to it spool and the bov sigh.

:gay: That does sound like Captain Jack. I was mocking Jeff though.

Jay, my turbo is noticably noiser without the AFM too. But I was even more surprised by the change in behavior of the BOV. Instead of a nice "PSSSHHHH SHHH SHH" it now shrieks. It's loud.

Al, shitty public school. That was senior year stuff.

My Bosch BOV was making a really high pitched farting sound. I changed the orientation of it and it helped. Now I mostly get a nice whoooosh, but sometimes when I'm really on it hard and lift I get the really high pitched fart. I didn't think that it had anything to do with AFM removal, I attributed it to changing the BOV from an old one to a newer one (same model). But you could be right on the money.

I hope I don't get mocked as a poseur for wanting a quiet BOV too! :)

That thread made me want to simply post "Remove turbo, add shift knob, clean vagina, problem solved."

hahahaa, x2. They have a real problem driving my car

It's so hard not to get annoyed by those m.net folks. They're such pussies compared to here, I'm glad I found this forum first.

Yeah, pretty much sums up a lot of people over there. Especially when you have to describe crimping, get into a debate about crimping with a loser moderator that has no life, or someone has to ask HOW to crimp....Ben's post is classic sarcasim. A beautiful thing.

Seeing people from this site make fun of those douche nozzles over there at m.net just makes my day. I am so glad that I founf this place well before I found the other place. Those guys really suck donkey nuts.

tell everybody else, then I can quit my job and make a living off the site like those fagtrons.

Hell I should buy a generic miata domain and point it here :x:

Samnavy for the muthafuckin' win....

Actually, lot's of quotable funnies from the miataturbo camp over there,lol.

Classic. A Crimp battle. Jeff is such a geek.

Argh!!!

:rofl:

you guys are going to get me in trouble. I can feel it.

oh well no worse than I'd do myself :rofl:

What can they do to you really, ban you again?

sue me for some worthless reason or something :dunno:

True that, they are all bastards. What part of Colorado do you live in? I just went home to the western slope for my grandmother's funeral. I am from about 80 miles from Grand Junction.

I'm in the denver area.

Is this dude a damn attorney or something????

That Egg shell stuff seems like it would cut flow down like crazy......

I dont know how many time Ive stopped myself from making a reply over there to the effect of "What are you, a fucking moron"

What gets me is when you read somethiing really stupid and they actually believe it. Cure all, jumper ten and ground and adjust idle or do the lock tite fix

But I keep my mouth shut

If you don't do it,I will.

I'll reregister just to post that. BRB

aaaand ban in 5....4....3....2..........

I was expecting more fireworks.

I'm not done yet ;)

:rofl:

you folks underestimate my trolling abilities.

Philip please take it to a place only someone in miataturbo.net could. After all we are filth.

Well the first attemp was rather weak, I thought that maybe you had lost it.

you can't start out hard right at first or they'll ban you right off the bat. got to lure them in ;)

There we go, that's more like it.

wait until I whip out the ethug :rofl:

I don't think I've ever seen e-thugging on miata.net. This is going to be special.

this wouldn't be the first time he posted over there just to get banned & ruffle feathers :doh:

Oh fuck dude, you've been exposed! He sure is some kind of dectective!

If more of us make a post on how stupid he is,there will be fireworks.

The thread is about 10 minutes from being closed.

Seriously I just think this is funny, I don't think the guy is an idiot for wanting to do what he has done.

Bwahahahahah

:rofl:

Wow that was some serious e-thug action there.

:rofl:

it's from another forum, sometimes it's hilarious to ethug on forums that are unfamiliar.

Philip,start some shit and say Rezonance sent it to you in a PM and you decided to post it publically on his thread for everyone to see what kind of ASS he really is.

done and done

:rofl:

A mod is quickly trying to clean up the thread. Funny.

damn, locked.

guess he'll have to continue listening to suck.

Pwned by a Canadian.....:td:

what did I miss, I was in class

A whole lotta :owned: towards the thread starter.

until one of Gary's knob polishers came and ruined all the fun.

i was having some fun here

OH yeah lemme tell ya I was surely owned there. Until you've been accused of speeding while in boost by the local cops, you'll never understand the reasoning behind stealthing. Boys and girls, we're out of highschool now.

Philip, why take the risk in causing threads to be closed when there are people possibly working on product development and sparking the interest of the community? Don't get in the way of business and you'll be alright. If you are trying to have some fun, do it in your own forum but don't go elsewhere and cause trouble for others who take this seriously. While you're over there giggling, other people lose respect. If I had known you were planning to take on a complete stranger just for fun, I would have understood, but several hours passed today where I suspected you were targeting me specifically. At one point I even contemplated contacted my attorney. This is serious business, and for you to show your identity so easily and come at me for no apparent reason is not taken lightly. I hope you re-evaluate the way you come across in the future. I was trying to be polite to you and it backfired with you pretending that I sent you some threatening text. I'm sure glad I found this post here because I was about to get legal on you. Do you understand?

You are going to sue a guy because he was making fun of you on the internet? Holy shit I'm glad I'm from Canada, retarded law suits FTL.

I'm sure your nicely vailed threats will go really far to reform Philip.

:rofl: :rofl:
