wierd noise at VTEC
i was driving home tonight and i noticed a whistling kind of noise coming from my engine whenever VTEC engaged. i have an exhaust, so i couldn't hear it that well but it was still noticably there. anything to be worried about?

Sometimes my B18C1 makes some weird whiney noises at night above 3K rpms. I've been noticing it for about the last year, and there hasn't been any problems to date...

same whine over here. It sounds like a replica vtec noise almost. When i first got the car, and was test driving it, i thought that the previous owner may have had a vtec controller or such, but then i hit the true vtec and knew that my other guess was wrong. but hey, everything is running fine. shouldn't worry about it.

you hit true vtec? is there a fake one? i'd assume you are talking about when you hit 5800 rpm and the secondaries open up. "true" vtec kicks in at 4400.

ya my intake is stock, the supercharger thing is a good way to describe it. but its cool as long as it doesnt cause any problems, i had an autox today and beat the car pretty hard and it was fine so i guess im ok. thanks guys
