its kinda annoying... cept when im telling people its my supercharger! lol.

anyways, installed a blox ported IM with the stock TB and it whistles now. any reasons why? something i did wrong or is it the TB too small for IM...

 

bump?

 

The whistling is most likely indicative of an air leak. With the car idling spray around (not into) the TB and see if the rpms increase and the whistling is made.

 

mine does it too, even more when i switched to a skunk2 mani. never thought about it though.

 

you got a leak somewere

 

if its not through the whole powerband, you are fine. My B16 did that at around 3500 with a particular throttle position. I kinda liked it!

 

It's 100% normal. Anyone who says it's a leak has never put an aftermarket manifold on a B16. Mine whistled loud enough to wake the dead.

Stock manifolds do it too...just not as loud. Lots of Hondas whistle.

My Stock JDM b16a whistled. Then it whistled louder with the skunk2 IM. My GSR whistled with the stock IM and with a skunk2 IM. My friend's Y8 whistles with a stock IM. My D16Z6 from back in the day whistled with a stock IM. My S2000 whistles with a stock IM. My EM1 whistles with a stock IM.....see the pattern?

If you dont like hearing it, put the stock intake back on. That will shut it up.

 

i had the same problem and happened to fix it less than a week ago. i was running a skunk2 IM with stock TB and it whistled like crazy. the fix? bought a 68mm Omni Power TB, now the whistle is gone! try that

Why the F would you want that much airflow? What else is done to those engines?

True. Every Honda I have ever owned whistled

 

perfectly normal.. Mine does it too, at a certain RPM and partial throttle.
