Is it possible to tune any car fitted with a turbo so that you can hear the blow off valve during gear shifts, like the G37 by High End Performance? Cheers
 
I've been playing around with my skyline gt-r '02 but no luck. I don't really know what I'm doing though so if anyone could enlighten me I'd really appreciate it.
 
Nope, none. This is not a tunable feature. You can experiement with the different turbo stages to see if they programmed the sound in but that's really your only option.

Yes, but through hexing...hear me out.

The only way to get that sound is by filling up the boost gage. If the h.e.p. g37's standard turbo makes the sound, as long as the car you hex is eq.uipped with a standard turbo, you should get by undetected, but they must match. I can give you locations, but im not sure if they have changed as i chose not to update to 2.12

Nah I'm not really interested in hexing tbh, the appeal was to achieve this through tuning as it was intended or to find out which cars, if any, produce a more audible hiss. Thanks for the reply though.
 
I know for sure the na miata and ek civic does it via stage 4 or 5 turbo tickets. Just ask someone who uses garage editor to send you a few of each (hybrid threads). Other than that, until gt adds a boost knob option to each stage turbo, or have the sound on every car's turbo stage increasing audibleness with each stage, it's impossible.
 
Fully release the throttle before shifting up then full on gas as quickly as possible, and also always blip the throttle on down shift and modulate the brakes - no ABS is recommended, not sure if ABS 1 will work well ( use manual stock transmission or close ratio - the full custom it too noisy) - this can be done on controller. These won't guarantee BOV sounds on every gear change, but it works on most turbo cars I have driven - hybrid or not. For best possible listening - use hood view, chase cam is not good for hearing BOV noise. Cockpit view or bumper cam does work too, but on some cars the BOV noise is not as loud as on hood cam.

Almost forgot : fit high rpm turbo kit if possible and semi racing/racing exhaust :D
 
hood view, not bumber cam. You'll hear it everytime. Unfortunately, it's what I consider the worst view.
