I have an ls/vtec integra, stock head stock bottem end, arp head bolts, kenji chipped ecu, ge ls vtec conversion kit, been running for 2 weeks and today i went to the track, after leaving the track there was a clicking sound only under acceleration in gear, if i rev it up theres no clicking, when the car warms up it quiets down a good bit, checked my oil and that and everything is fine but still clicks, friend said he thinks a rod bearing, need help

 

Since you say it only clicks in gear under acceleration that would make me think it has something to do with the tranny. Does it get click faster as you accelerate?

 

yes, it clicks louder with more load and clicks faster as i gain speed

 

It might be pinging.

 

what does this mean, is there something i can do to prevent any damage

 

might be a CV axle, see if it clicks more under a turn

Dave

 

its same whether turning or going straight

 

bump

 

I was thinking about it, but someone already mentioned an axle. May have twisted/damaged during a launch. Maybe do a vlave adjustment. hard to tell from a vauge discription. Clciking, pinging, knocking ect... Anything else out of the ordinary?

 

it doesnt do it in 1st gear, and when warms its not very noticible but it is still there, im hoping its not anything major, but if it were a rod bearing it would knock or click in every gear and in nuetral right?

 

Yes

 

you think its transmissio related?, i dont think its axles but ill check later

 

Does the clicking get faster with rpm or wheel speed? RPM meaning when you rev to say 5k it is fast and when you shift the rpm falls to 3.5k it is slow again or does it just keep getting faster as you go from 30,50,70mph..... If it keeps getting faster and faster as your mph increases it is tranny drivetrain related. If it gets faster and slower with rpm it is engine related.

 

sounds like you spun a rod bering. if you over rev. stock ls rods they are know to spin rod berings. i would drop the oil pan and check the crank and rods for damage.

 

it doesnt go with mph it goes with rpm, the thing ive is got rev limiter at 7700, and i shift at 7500, i know ives missed a gear but never gone over 7700, car still drives fine and feels just like before, nothin in nuetral and 1st gear, clicks in 2nd-5th gear
