Default Intake squeak?

i have a 92cx with a b18c1 with a victory x manifold, when i step on the gas past half throttle at the same point each time and when i do it from standing infront of the engine bay there is a loud pronounced squeak i was wondering if anyone had a hint to it or is it just probably something squeaky inside it moving that could be lubed (spring/hinge or just metal on metal area?) I could try to get a video (for audio purposes) from my digi cam but i dont think the sound it too good.

edit: had to ask one more thing

It's the intake hamsters. Get your hammer out and take care of them; feed your engine the blood it craves.

off topic, but is that a Victor X on a stock gsr? Victor X's make power in the high rpm's which isn't the best for a stock motor.

Apparently you haven't driven a car with a B-series vtec engine in it before.

if it is a squeak, i have no idea...maybe you should kill those hamsters.

if it is a whistle it may be your throttle body making a whistling noise as air passes by some irregularity/inconsistancy in the piping/joints. this wont really effect anything, so i wouldn't worry about it.

Do you have an sri? Mine does this as well because of the volume of air as well as the throttle position. It only happens at a certain throttle position because the air goes around the throttle body butterfly at just the right angle to make that noise.
