couple of questions

[Danny S R]

hey all,

couple of things,

firstly when listening to WRC cars the noise the make when the come off the throttle like a chittering sound what is that? how would u get an R to sound like that?

and secondly lookin to buy an R around May next year and gone auto trader and theres a few on for £3000! they look ok (i know u cant tell without lookin at em) and a few have mods on, are these average prices? i was lookin to spend £5000?!

Cheers

Dan

I think the noise is an external wastegate yes it can be done but it costs, with respect to £3000 in autotrader id say stay well clear.Get as much info on GTiRs and what to look for Before you part with your cash or you could be Very sorry

thats not the external wastegate that turbo chatter its where the boost is forced back through the turbo when the wastegate is closed.

Try runnin without a BOV and your R will sound the same. I reckon it sounds better than any BOV

I've got a chatter louder than the Bov I have.

Internal wastegates are quite loud too I'd have said?

 

[Danny S R]

so the R sounds like that as standard then? why was this post moved i didnt see this as a problem that needed solving?

For £3000 your not gonna get a very good R well not
inless your very very lucky do you feel lucky punk :lol:
sorry I couldn't help myself , Anyway if your paying
that sort of money get it checked out by someone that knows
the R .

I thought a BOV was to keep the turbo spooling in between gears so removing it will stall the turbo which I couldnt imagine Peugeot WRC doing? unless there is a benefit

I dont really want to hijack this thread as this was done to death before. The spinning between the gears thing is a marketing ploy IMHO..............u only really need a BOV on a turbo that runs so much boost that the turbine blades would be affected by the boost coming back through like a T4 or something.

WRC cars dont run BOV's the noise your hearing is the boost going back through the turbo. I think the only reason most smaller trubos are fitted with recirc valves is cuz the noise of the chatter or a VTA BOV would not be desireable on a road car.
