Throttle body

[jaime102001]

ok, here is my problem, everything is running ok, but when i give it gas and the throttle opens i hear a whistleling sound coming fron it, i beleive is coming from the intake or the body, but i cant pin point it, does any one know what it could be making the whistle sound?

first of all id say pop the bonnet and rev the engine using the throttle cable etc. and have a good listen to see if you can pin point to the intake pipe or anything like that.

have you got a standard air box setup??
as i have some slight whistle on mine since installing the spoon carbon pipe

 

[jaime102001]

yes, i have a short ram intake, and yes it sounds like is coming from inside the body

moving this to the correct forum.

inside the throttle body or inside part of the intake body do you mean? sorry.

I had the same "whistling issue" the problem was with the factory O RING, the car also was throwing white smoke !! We forgot to put it back after changing from a b16b throttle body to a b18c one.

attaching photos:

This little ring was the cause of the problem

did you have to change the gasket between the TB and the Mani as well when changing? just wondering if this is advised etc?

Im sure its coming from the short ram intake. Must of them do that especially the ones with the metal pipes...

Nope, I used the same one

I also used the same one when I changed to my Spoon throttle body last week. It peeled off the old t/b easy enough

The ECU that is correct for the motor should be labeled "PCT"

As for approximately how much power you're losing? I'm going to guess maybe 10bhp in some places, you also don't get to rev the motor to redline as the P30 cuts off sooner than the PCT.
