Hey guys,


I have a 97 civic ex, 14b turbo intercooled, dsm 450's afc hack. Stock d16y8 at 9 psi.


Ok, the car was running fine before i put it up on ramps this last weekend. Stock clutch slipping a little, my exhaust manifold, had a few cracks in it and i was planning to weld it up, do an oil change, and install my golden eagle vaccuum manifold.

I got everything welded up and installed, everything went really well.

Now the car runs good, once you get into boost, 5+ psi, there is a noticable whine from the right/passenger side of the car. sounds like its from the tranny but i cant tell. It does not happen if the car is not in gear, or the clutch is in/not engaged. it happens in every gear. Any ideas or thoughts?

One question off topic, my autometer boost gauge i got installed just now, reads 11 psi the afc reads .68-.70 i think thats 9-9.5 right? which one is correct?


thanks for your help.

take your keyboard for a ride with you and I'll have a listen for you :1

 

It sounds like to me that the whine would be the tranny. I couldnt tell you what exactly the whine is, but ive had quite a few with a whine myself.

 

yeah mine is getting progressivly louder.

Try changing the fluid, i think i'm due. Also i swear by GM synchomesh

oh and autometer boost gauges suck, i have one and it reads different from my afc too, about 1.5 psi higher. plus the vacuum portion isn't accurate worth ----, and YES i have calibrated it. Oh well, cheap american ----.

 

only annoying noise i hear from the passenger side is my girl.

 

hahahahahah HAHAHAH LOL LMAO ^^^^

------- right on man, I got a 3" open downpipe and 2" open dump to shut the new one the ---- up, ---- does she ever love to squak about the stupidest ----

My truck tranny whines like a ---- to, oil doesnt seem to help, honda is quiet like a kitten

Most likely its your tranny or air intake
