Being a huge fan of the "Import" industry, i think you're talking about a turbo as well. The sound you're probably thinking of is the turbo spooling up. Basically it just rams insane amounts of air into your engine. I'm not sure if they even make one for a ram. Turbos on cars (depending on size) increase the hp around 40-70. You must take into account that these are very expensive and will slaughter your mpg. If they do make a kit, i'd guess it would be around the $1500-$3000 range. If you're looking at superchargers, add 2-3k onto that. I do know they make an exhaust tip that replicates the sound of a turbo.

 

I remember reading about something you can put in your exhaust that wines and gives you a turbo sound. I can't remember where I read it, but you can probably google it. I know it's lame compared to the real thing, but I'm sure it's cheaper.

 

Alright I'll have to start doing some research and see what I can come up with on superchargers

 

Airram is working on a supercharger i believe. Or a custom intake manifold that will be able to support a supercharger. Check out my "All 4.7's" thread. airram.com is working on like 7 4.7 performance parts. Really interesting. check it out

 

put a crappy intake on, or a more restrictive one. it will make a sucking/whining sound as it pulls in more air (or tries to).

 

Yeah, I just read that..looks like all we can do is wait for them to make that SC or turbo lol

 

I believe STS also makes a universal Turbo too...

Do you need to get all three kits? Or do you just pick one?

 

It depends on what you need, if you read it the higher the stage the more complete the kit is, you would need the stage 3 kit (or the complete kit) and then just have someone else do the piping for it and you would need to get it tuned as well.

 

This thread makes me laugh...buy a referee's whistle and tap it into the intake. Problem solved!

Boosting a naturally aspirated engine without a dedicated kit is a serious challenge...finding space for parts, making it leakproof and reliable, reprogramming the ECU, tuning, tuning, tuning, not destroying any internal parts in the process...

IMO, might as well pursue a Cummins 4BT swap into a Jeep or light truck. A tuned 4BT with aftercooling could probably motivate a 1500 Ram very nicely. You get all-mechanical reliabilty (no ECU), black smoke, turbo whine, 300 ft-lbs, and a managable weight for a non-HD suspension (the 6BT Dodge Cummins is around 1,000 LBS if I recall). Lots of 4BT project videos on YouTube. Of course in some states this could be a titling nightmare, if not outright illegal.
