I have a 00 b16a2 with drag turbo kit, running uberdata program. I was driving last Nite on the freeway. I was on 3rd gear going around 65 at around 6000 rpms when my car shuts off. I put it in neatrul and started it. It did kinda smell like something was burning. So I pull over the turn off again. Check didn't see anything on fire, so I started it again and notice a knocking soung everytime I accelerate. It starts fine and idles fine but when I accelerate it makes that noise. When i got home the oil was really low. Put oil in already. But it is still making that sound. Does anybody know what it could be? It sounds like its in the cylinder head ..do have a video of it but don't know how to post it. I can email it if u wanna see it.

 

any ideas ???????????????

 

You were beating on it with when it was very low on oil?

Check the bearings.

 

was the car tuned at all when you slapped that turbo kit on it

 

yes i was boosting. yes the car is tuned with uberdata by hookups.

 

cant be good bearings rings i dont know just doesnt sound good

 

probably have some bottom end troubles.

 

check your timing

 

Check your coolant for oil in it. Check your oil for water in it.
Either will be a milkshake looking color.

 

check oil ,and coolant .both look ok.

 

bump

 

Sounds like you ****ed up your bearings

 

im gonna do a compression test, and maybe adjust the valves.see what happens. any other ideas????

 

ok,i did a compression test cylinder 1- 130 2- 125 3- 125 4- 125 . is this ok. what should i check next???

 

A compression test wont tell you if you messed up the bearings.

I already told you what you check.

 

uppppp!

 

Why r u bumping this Do what 98civdx told you to do...

 

trying to get as many ideas as i can.

 

you beat the **** out of your car on low oil you probably spun a bearing thats it there is nothing else to it that is the most logical explanation drop the pan check bearings

 

if i did spun a bearing , what am i looking on cost to fix??

 

Depends on how bad it is.

In some cases the crank needs to be replaced, which can get quite spendy. Also, sometimes it's cheaper to replace the short block.

 

might aswell get a B20 block and get a ls/b20v kit and use the Head you already have

 

uppp!!!

 

You need to replace your rod bearings. You may have overheated your oil on the freeway, which makes it the consistency of water, and causes it to not properly lubricate anything. This would have definitely contributed to the degradation of your rod bearings. Usually when an engine starts knocking, especially on a turbo'd Honda, the first thing to check is the rod bearings.

 

I don't see how anyone can say what the problem is without actually HEARING this noise. Sure a "knocking" noise could be coming from the bottom end via rod bearings, but valvetrain can also make ticking/knocking noises as well.

Got a video with audio for us to check out?

BTW:

The "check your bearings" replies are pretty funny. Please tell me how one goes about checking bearings without doing nearly a complete teardown.
