Engine whine


Recommended Posts

I have just put in a pod filter in my r33 s1 NA, along with a new afm (due to the old one breaking) and now i'm getting a whining sound from the engine as it revs through the low-mid rev range. Is this normal? It doesn't seem to be affecting performance. any advice would be appreciated.

I think its normal depending on the type of whine. In my mates R31 (N/A), it hisses cos of the Pod and on mine, u can hear the spool of the turbo a lot louder. Can you post a sound?

That sounds pretty normal man... i have an NA S1.5 R33 and mine makes a slight whine/hiss when punch it into the high rev range. Its the suction of the pod filter that makes the noise. I have grown to love this noise :) Just get used to the sound and you'll be able to differentiate between an engine whine and a pod hiss.

    • Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.
    • Noice one 👍 I've done a 1:16.300 at Watkins Glen, will keep at it. Still have to knock off half a second at Suzuka in the Roadster

    • Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S
    • I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
