I have a whistle that comes from my pulley when the car's on. It's more noticable at idle.
Does anyone else have this, or am I all alone on this?

there was a thread a while ago that talked about whistle at idle. i think folks noticed it more w/ 2.93 and below pullies. oh yeah, here is is:

Thanks for the link Fush, but I don't have a gatorback, and my noise is coming directly from the pulley.
Any other suggestions?

Guess ur not ab-normal :shrug:
Juan u can get some verification from George when he gets his installed.

True, but I know there's plenty of people on here running the same pulley. I was hoping some of them could help me.
Juan we will see since I have the exact same pully.
I have a feeling its the wind rushing out of the holes on the rr.
we will know this sat, adam is bringing a puller and will help me with the swap before the dyno session, I dont wanna swap it and try to keep up with you guys on the freeway

doh. did the whistle just show up? maybe it's just the holes in the pulley causing it. blower oil? pulley alignment? :shrug: i should be installing my rr in a couple days (gates belt) and i'll check if there's anything similar.
Cool.
Mine whistles...Non-Slip 2.93 and Gates belt or Stock belt...both whistle...I like it
mine whistles, 2.75 RR and 774 gates/napa belt.
Sweet! Thanks for the confirmation. I just wanted to make sure it was normal, and not some problem. I LOVE this freakin pulley.
I'm using the 2.90" RR Ultra-Grip and haven't really noticed any whistling, but that might be because I'm also using an Accufab TB and it has a slight whistle. I'll have to listen a bit closer the next time I pop the hood. I would guess, though, that it would be related to the holes. I doubt the slits would produce a whistle. ??
I've got the Accufab TB too. My whistle is audible from 5-10' away with the hood closed.
It's definately coming directly from the pulley. I put my ear right up to the pulley, and I'm positive it is the source of the noise.
I have a whistle at idle from my 03 as well, I think its the idlers, but Im not too sure. I still ahve the stock size pulley, so I dunno what the problem is??
May i ask why you went from 280 to 293??
Sure Jim. A few reasons: I was running the 2.80 with no idler and I was always getting alot of belt slippage and heat. I made good hp #'s but I noticed that after a lot of driving the car felt really sluggish. I was just going to get an idler but then I started reading more threads about the 2.93 pulley and the blower rpm. I was seeing that most people prefered the 2.93.
But what really made me want to try a new combo is what you posted. You brought up some 1/4 times and mentioned that the 2.80 pulleys were faster in the 1/8 but the 2.93's were sometimes catching up to the 2.80's by the 1/4 because they just were not overspinning the blower as much.
After reading that I decided to try to make the same hp but without spinning the blower as much. So I freed up the intake restrictions with a billetflow TB and I also took the cats off my xpipe. Then, I decided to go with a 2.93 and an idler. So this way, I should be running almost the same boost as the 2.80 because of the TB and how much slippage I got with the 2.80 and no idler. But I wouldn't be overspinning the blower as much so I am hoping that the car will perform better during continuous hard driving (atuoX, road coarse, ect. .)
I guess that about sums it up. I just got the 2.93/idler on so I havent gone to the dyno yet or anything but so far the car feels great. Sorry for the long explanation
:thumbsup:
98 in the 1/8th....damn...that's gettin
I only go like 92-93
