Does the noise get worse when you turn your lights on? Or increase as you rev the engine? I'm assuming you're running them off an amp. It sounds like you have engine noise - usually coming from a bad earth either at the amp or deck.... let me know how it's run and I'll offer more ideas.

yes, the more i rev the higher the pitch goes this is noticed very easily when driving and changing gears. Yes, running them of an amp.

no, noise doesnt get worse when i turn the lights on, only when engine is started.

thanx

this was one of the problems you guys were unable to sort out for me shayne ... not that i am complaining though mate :)

i can say forsure though that there was no common earth on the deck & amps, also speaker wire's were ran very close to power wires (although unavoidable in some spots)

sorry .. rant over :(

problem with a suppressor is that its only a bandaid on the problem meaning it will only reduce the problem not eliminate it.

make sure all the components are earthed at the same point . then try running the splits of the head unit( that will tell you if the problem is coming from the amp or head unit. do the tweeters have the engine noise when the car is running but the head unit and amp are off, that will tell you if the speaker placement or crossover placement is wrong.when the system is wired as you have it now and you disconnect the rca lead from the amp does the noise go away, if yes move the rca lead.if no plug the rca lead back in and take power away from the amp does the noise dissapear, if yes try moving the power lead( this doesny always fix the problem). try powering the amp from a battery external of the car ( just sitting on the floor) that will tell you if the car is at fault . lastly is the amp screwed to the floor being metal if so try placing it on a pieace of wood thereby its only earth source is the earth lead.

The stupid cables have been moved all around the car!! We thought they may be running too close to each other at first and we've tried about 10 different earthing points, but I still have a slight buzzing problem...not that I really hear it anymore, I'm that used to it!!

mine is still annoying me, sounds like a bov from within the car when im changing gears. a very loud one at that. my earth lead is placed on the same plae as the earth for the battery, could this be the problem as both are bolted to the same place.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
