my y7 aem sri gives off high pitched noise when i accelerate. i read on other boards that adjusting the idle screw should get rid of it. anybody heard of this?

who cares noise is noise
dont mess with the idle screw...that would be stupid...make sure you have it it tightened down enough, and otherwise, just enjoy the sound....CAI gives you a deeper sound, till it hits vtec, and SRI gives your more of a higher pitched sound you will hear it more because its high up in the engine bay which means its closer to you...
i believe its from when u accelerate the TB hasnt opened fully at low speeds therefore the lil gap in the tb sucks air in making a whistling noise. which is wut i got. i dont hear any other cars out on the street w/ the same noise.psyke_13 said:
i know the sri gives me a rumble but i get a high pitched whistle. i know its not the belts n stuff too. all the screws, bands, etc are tightened too.
yah. and it'll come on again when i hit 80 or so.Shiba-Kun said:Does it happen around 3500-4500 and sound like a sustained high pitched whistle? Does it only happen when you press on the throttle and quiets down after about 4500 or when you ease off of the throttle?
i think its the tb opening and closing. not enuf juice it'll open a lil and therefore whistle?
I fitted an air intake to my Civic about 4 months ago. It makes the same noise as u describe. It has not done my car any damage. Do u have an aftermarket exhaust fitted?
I still have the origional exhaust fitted and i thought it may be caused by the fact that the engine is sucking air in faster than it is getting rid of it through the exhaust, and hence causing a whistle noise as the air gets pushed back.

u in the UK, shweet. i love reading the magazine FAST. u guys have some nice whips in da UK.
Do you mean FAST CAR magazine. If you like it should check out www.maxpower.co.uk. Yeah, i think what i described is possible, however u would think that the engine would only suck air as much as the valves let it. Im really not sure what it is but have often wondered.
i want to import a 206. those rockass....the UK has a pretty wickit mod scene.
those skodas, peugots, vauxhall, etc looks nice done up
