i have a d16z6 in my 95 del sol and i have a skunk2 intake manifold and an intake on it and during certain acceleration or throttle movement i get this really high pitched sound.... not the intake this isnt my first car... im thinking maybe the gasket between the throttle body and intake manifold could be leaking? any other suggestions would be great

somone mentioned the air flowing over the TB making a whistling noise. Just a thought, my car makes that noise as well as my friends gsr with a skunk 2 IM

 

its like a weird very distintctive sound can hear it outside the car and everyhting

 

bump any suggestions?

 

did you double check on your throttle body??? try checking to see if you didn't tightend the bolts to from the tb to the intake mani..

 

everything is fine. same mine!!!.. my friend hear that sound think it turbo sound.. LOL

 

My Skunk2 68 mm throttle body "whistles" at certain throttle %... nothing wrong if yours sounds like that.

 

i have just the skunk2 manifold with a stock throttle body. but im thinking its prolly the manifold maybe the gasket tho.

 

Are there any vacuum leaks when it idles? If not then I'm inclined to say that if you hear something only when there is a throttle delta, then it's not a gasket leaking or else you would be aware of it all the time.

 

im pretty sure there isnt it stays pretty steady at idle maybe just a little fluctuation here and there. but i think the gasket may have been like broken sorta on one side when it got installed so could this slight brake make that sound?

 

I highly doubt it. Air is going to move where it's easiest to do so, in other words, if your throttle is open then air is going to be rushing in through your intake arm and past your throttle plate. It's not going to be seeping in from a slight break in the gasket. You will notice a leaky gasket on idle, not when throttle is open.
