does anyone get that sorta like death grinding sound from their a/c compressor when the a/c is on and the car is idling? apparently its a common problem i heard
probably the pulley bearing
is it common if it only happens during idle? the sound goes away after 1000 rpm
Its because the revs are on like 400 lol.
How low are they when it makes the noise?
approx 700
yea my ac pulley makes fked sounds at all rpm's but i just put up with it. motor is going soon neway
Is this the sound?

If so,it's the timing belt tensioner bearing.The timing belt tension needs to be set.Here's Honda's solution:
1. Start the Engine and allow it to reach operating temperature ( Radiator Fans should come on twice )
2. Remove the upper timing belt cover
3. monitor the engine temperature. When the temp decreases to 58degC, rotate the crankshaft five or six turns counter clockwise.
4. Set No. 1 piston at TDC
5.When the engine temp decreaces to 55degC, loosen the timming belt adjusting bolt 180deg. Allow the tention of the timing belt to automaticlly reset the tentioner position.
6. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
7. After adjustment, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to 181 Nm
8. On compleating the procedure, start then engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Confirm the noise has been eliminated. Should the noise still be exhibited the above procedure in its entirety is required to be repeated.
U can buy a digitor multimeter from jaycar for $30 that measures tempreture very accurately.Therefore U can do this yourself!
Note: U will need to remove the valve cover to get the upper timing belt cover off.I would remove the valve cover,take the upper timing belt cover off and replace the valve cover.After eliminating the noise,replace the upper timing belt cover
nah it doesnt sound like that its much worse, ill try and post up a vid later this week, but thanks for trying anyways :)
Good effort beez
No worries Griffy!
I thought it's best to put up the solution than to just leave it open,in case someone else has the problem,sometime.
Cheers Chris!
D16z6 and D16y1 are the same intake manifold
its the highest flowing for stock SOHC D series you can get ... other than the D16y8 which is better for higher rev range because it has a larger resevoir ... where the z6/y1 has a smaller resevoir but larger, better flowing runners = better gains over the whole rev range
alot of guys in the states swap to the z6/y1 on other D16/D15's as a cheap upgrade
the stock throttle body is fine for small SOHC (unless u are going turbo) but u should see a nice gain from some port matching the TB to the IM and the headers to the head
also dont forget ur hondata intake manifold gasket = cheap and easy power
PS - how much are those quads? lol
