Default Whistle

For those people with 1st gen b16, does your motor whislte as well? because whenever I drive my Cr-x it makes a whistling sound, its getting really annoying. For those people who cant wait to flame on other people I have done a search but didnt come up with any results. Thank you in advance

Try adjusting your idle screw on your TB.

Mine screams when I hold it wide open..

But seriously, At idle or all the time?
A high pitched whistle can also be associated with a
vaccum leak so check your connections/lines..

My B20 whistles when I accelerate at part throttle. It only started doing this after I installed the Skunk2 intake manifold. I don't consider this to be a problem. And I even consider it to be kind of funny when people turn their heads and stare when my car does this.

If you have a intake 99.9% of the time they whistle. I have a 1990 Civic Si and my intake whistles at a certain RPM during acceleration. I also had a whistle from my intake on my 1990 CRX Si that I used to have. Completely normal if you have a intake.

Those are really good suggestions, Ill try adjusting the screw on the TB, it whistles only when I accelerate, but when I let go of the gas the noise goes away,

I have a skunk2 manifold on my b18c1 and an injen CAI. Theres a certain throttle position i can hold it at and it'll get this funky whistle. It cracks me up.

I'd check your vacuum connections though just to be safe
