When the motor is just idling there is a whistling sound coming from it.. i was thinking maybe i put the altenator belt on too tight but its really hard to tell were the sound is coming from...

I also have really stiff motor mounts which create alot of vibration.. im not sure but any suggestions in things i should look at would be nice. before the motor was in my car this sound was not there.

Belt tension (tight or loose) can cause squealing noises. Do you have an intake? That can cause a whistle too.

 

Could be your intake?

 

there is no intake on the motor yet at all. and its at idle i can be looking right at the engine.. r u talking about the belt tension on the timing belt or the alt.

 

probly on the alt

 

ima try and loosen that tonight .. along with swapping in my gsr seats..

 

Is your throttle body on tight?? If it is on a little loose the gasket will whistle. Also check to make sure your intake mani is tight as well.

 

i will check that as well do u no what this whistle sounds like i meant to record the sound so u can hear it i have like 10 sec video on my phone just so u can hear. it.
o yea and will it cause any other problems besides .. loss of power if they are not tight..

im running codes 1----- and 14 right now that is all.

 

i think im hearing that same sound after a while of hard running the sound pulsates too.

 

it has something to do with the intake or throttle body.

 

do u think it may be the gaskets or what. i have the skunk 2 intake manifold and im using the ls throttle body..

Read my prior post, then get back to us after you check that.

 

i think the sound stopped. by my car is pretty dam fast for this elevation.. I cant beat SRT-4's but i spanked some rsx's and an S2000 as well. I raced a NSX and he spanked me good. but he couldnt pull away after his intial jump.. he couldnt pull away.. IM still running a cel for my o2 sensor.. and i havent put on my 4-2-1 header. so im happy at this point..

 

The whistleing comes from the throttle body gasket? I always thought the GSR's did that becasue of the secondaries, interesting.

 

i have the same problem with the engine mounts and vibration id like to know if there any mounts out there that would lesson the vibration. I believe i have hasport right now

 

hell no keep the engine mounts they keep from all the wheel hop wheel hop breaks ****.. bad.. that is y my stuts are jacked right now.
