: procharger whine and idle
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 01:06 AM this is just a general question cuz a lot of my friends are mustang guys and ive heard a lot of their cars....do the prochargers on the focus whine at idle and under load like they do on stangs?
does anyone have a sound clip?
viney266 07-10-2007, 01:39 AM Yes, they do. Just the same as the stangs. It is mostly from the straight-cut gears in the unit. If you have heard a stang , you"ve heard the focus.
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 01:46 AM that answered my question. thanks mate.
viney266 07-10-2007, 02:01 AM No problem, anytime! ... Thinking of getting one?
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 02:11 AM actually ya...cuz turbos are def not legal and the uninstall time for smog is sooo high.
im definetly thinking of getting one. i think itd be perfect for me.
jrpasmo 07-10-2007, 09:55 AM Hmmm I can't hear mine under boost.....only at iddle ;-)
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 12:54 PM can you get my a sound clip of idle?
im sure your exhaust kinda drones it out under boost...
b16sir1991 07-10-2007, 01:44 PM Theyre not nearly as loud as a Mustangs except at idle and theyre fairly noisy at idle. They also sound as if theyre knocking at idle too.
WUGcatsvt 07-10-2007, 01:59 PM I love the wine of superchargers
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 02:23 PM hm awesome.
ya SC whines are badass.
jrpasmo 07-10-2007, 02:28 PM My friend has a PW on his Zetec and it total opposite of mine PC setup...at idle, u can't tell that he is boosted, and my car "squeaking" so u know there is either SC of something wrong with it heheheh..under boost his PW is 1000000x louder and has nice wheeeeeeeeeeeeee sound ;-)
WUGcatsvt 07-10-2007, 02:34 PM Whhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 03:45 PM awesome. can u get me a quality sound clip?

number1187svt 07-10-2007, 04:22 PM x2 on the sound clip. Im getting a procharger too and also want to know what it sounds like.
jrpasmo 07-10-2007, 04:42 PM I'll do one, when I get home..... ;-)
besthaticouldo 07-10-2007, 04:45 PM ^^thanks mate.

besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 11:57 AM god that grey car sounds perfect.
any idea what all is done to that car?
looks like im sold on PC...lol...uber idle whine ftw
jrpasmo 07-11-2007, 02:28 PM U getting PC for normal ZETEC ?
besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 02:32 PM uh i can get either. because im getting a manifold made i can place te TB anywhere..but ya prolly regular.
jrpasmo 07-11-2007, 02:49 PM I was asking this because if u don't have SVT, I would consider Powerworks for your setup.....
besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 02:57 PM PW simply doesnt make enough HP for me.
viney266 07-11-2007, 03:07 PM ^^ Have you driven a PW car?
jrpasmo 07-11-2007, 03:29 PM ^^^ Exactly...I'm saying this because I have SVT with Procharger, ZTW N/A and I see the rpm differences between those two cars....SVT loves higher RPMs....my Friend has his ZX5 with PW and it's totally different car....I love it....
besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 04:35 PM no i havent but god id like to.
i am building a forged motor and itll rev higher then an svt.
jrpasmo 07-11-2007, 04:38 PM Then I'm quiet ;-)
besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 04:59 PM hahaha...you didnt think this was going on a stock motor? who the hell does that? uh...i have crazy crap going on.
jrpasmo 07-11-2007, 05:20 PM Me stupid ;-)
besthaticouldo 07-11-2007, 05:22 PM its chill. most people dont do the things i do.
speaking of i should get my car back today with the new getrag in it...yay for 6spd and all the goodies...light flywheel and stg III titanium clutchnet prototype clutch...w00t
