just got the car back from a motor swap and when i rev the motor the tbi makes a throatey sound hard to explane the sound but if you ever had this prob. let me know thanks

 

My tbi makes a hissing sound-mainly at idle. It is normal though, it's just the air passing through the throttle blades.

 

thanks

 

BLOWER WHINE

My TBI (with an open air cleaner) makes a blower-like whine at idle and a realy loud whine at part throttle. It's pretty cool. I've heard other TBI's make ticking sounds as the injectors open and close.

 

yep... tbi's are very noisy.

 

since i put the edelbrock TBI intake it whistles real loud now for some reason. always hissed but now it whines when on the throttle. Maybe it sucking for more air now??

 

Yeah, my six's TBI whines when you give it some throttle....and at start up, man, it sounds like it's pulling all the air in the world...I'm not kidding man....I prefer the "velocity cover" as opposed to the straight up filter. It gave me a lot more torque and have been saving at the pump some...pretty kewl fellas....CHEVYTOWN
p.s. That cover is from an efi cadillac

 

Made more noise but not the same torque....

 

Hey, that looks familiar!

 

I definetly think im gonna switch and get a "cold air" intake of some kind. My car doesnt run to well when its hot out with the open element. Anyone know the parts number for the Ram Air box that will work for me? I already have the element and everything.

 

Give Year One a look. Lots of resto parts and numbers.

I made a custom dual snorkel air cleaner out of my stock TBI cold air setup. Now I get twice as much air and it looks stock.

 

Im not to worried about looking stock. I have so much crap missing under my hood you cant tell what the hell it is anymore. Had a guy i know with a lo3 RS tore up because he didnt believe my car had the same motor as his he said mine looked smaller

 

LOL...for like five minutes.
