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

[bennjamin]

probably the pulley bearing

[grifty]

is it common if it only happens during idle? the sound goes away after 1000 rpm

[Gio]

Its because the revs are on like 400 lol.

How low are they when it makes the noise?

[grifty]

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

[beeza]

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

[Gio]

Good effort beez

[beeza]

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!

It's called a mini-me and U pick up a little bump in power + Vtec.Very popular in the US cause they knpw what they are doing lol

How many kw would i benfit from this??? how much would it cost me roughly?? also what else would i have to change to the engine if i do a mini me

will d16z6 Inlet Manifold bolt onto a d16y1 motor, reason is i cant find Quads for a d16y1 but there is heaps for d16z6

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
