whining noise

[jmurda]

at around 500 miles on my evo, i started hearing this faint whining noise during acceleration. the sound first becomes audible around 1500 rpm and gets louder as the rpm increase. the noise goes away when i step on the clutch. i have not driven the car hard - however, this is my first stick and i have stalled numerous times and made the engine make some unpleasant sounds. 2 mechanics have driven the car and told me there isn't anything wrong, but i know this sound wasn't there when it was new. does anyone have any idea what the noise could be?

our cars do make a whine but it could be the transfer case.

You are sure that it's not just the turbo spooling up, right?

[drmosh]

You found your turbo!

[TrickedOutEVOVIII]

looooooooool this guy said you found your turbo....yeah man thats ur turbo spoolin up like dr. evo said bro...theres nothing wrong with your shit...enjoy it...i think thats the most orgasmic sound in the world aside from the blow off valve.

because u didn't step on the gas hard enough so ur turbo keep on spooling

[jmurda]

really, so the turbo is supposed to make a whining noise while it's spooling up before the whoosh at ~3000 rpm? i wonder why i didn't notice it before. thanks guys.

You getting a woosh at 3000?? Are you shifting at 3000?? The turbo will whine when it starts to spool.

[jmurda]

in normal driving, i shift between 3000 and 3500. the exact rpm at which the whooshing sound happens varies, but i think it's generally between 3000 and 3500. i think i need some clarification of terms - is the "whooshing" sound the sound of the turbo "spooling," or is it the sound of the blow off valve? what does spooling mean anyway? what about before the whooshing sound - is the turbo supposed to make any noise at all? if so, is it supposed to make a faint noise that sounds like something is winding up? this is what i am hearing.

Yes, that's your turbo.

After you break it in... roll down your windows and take it up to 6000rpm. It'll all be clear...

[BOVBILLY]

it is your Turbo, or there is a cat, stuck under your car!

I think it is the turbo. You pick which one. I will start a poll for you, if you would like :))

[TrickedOutEVOVIII]

dude...why'd you buy an EVO??

[GokuSSJ4]

You found your turbo!

it goes along with his signature ,, i believe thats your turbo spooling .. you will love the sound .. well at least i do hehehehheh...

On my WRX I had the mounstrous TurboXS 4" downpipe which sites right in front of the passenger front seat. That had the most beautiful turbo whine...almost as good as a ridiculously tricked out Ruf 996 Turbo I saw/heard/was-passed-by at a BMW CCA track event.

OMG! Vin Diesel bought an EVO!?

[TrickedOutEVOVIII]

whats that supposed to mean

[nijikon5]

It was an attempt at a joke to be directed at jmurda for asking about the tranny/turbo whining noise. You pointed that a driver of his state should not have purchased it and I tried to further enhance the humor by making a reference by linking his lack of knowledge towards the evo to Vin Diesel's general lack of knowledge towards cars. Hope that clarifies the situation.

[GokuSSJ4]

i dont think he is referring that to you ... at least i dont think so .....

[TrickedOutEVOVIII]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...much better, sorry nijikon5, its late and im dead tired...that was comedy though bro.
