whistle when i get on it

[CamryDX]

Does anyone elses's Generation 2 whistle when you hammer on it, mine does when you get on it off takeoffs, then when you hammer on it when you are on the highway, anything more than 1/4 throttle when you are on the highway it will whistle till its done working to get to the desired speed, any help would be appreciated, I put a Cold Air on it, but it did it before that too,

nah mine dont whistle but it does have a sort of turbo wine, i think it is the bairings in something to do with the timing belt.

Theres a bearing on the timing belt tensioner.

Maybe the whistling your hearing is from the ECT (extra camry turbo).

Mine sounds like a tornado, but it was turbocharged before I melted a piston with 10psi boost.

In addition to the bearing suggestion, it is possible that your air filter is not seated right - happened to me when the dealership did not align it OK on my Gen 4 (one more reason NOT to go to the dealership if you can do it yourself ).

The car would whistle/whine any time I stepped on the gas... Seated the filter properly and the noise is gone.

Perhaps you have a small air leak somewhere on your new intake?

Do all camry's have a piece of Flex type Pipe under the car patching from the Pipe off the manifold to the backpipe, because mine does, and if i rev my car up from under the hood, all i can hear is the Intake sucking the air, So I believe the whistle is Exhaust Related, if that is possible,

Far fetched as it may be, when I got my Gen 2 a year and a half ago, the guy said it made some sort of whining/whistling. Come to find out there was some kinda tape stuck to the inside of my intake. DOnt ask me how it got there, but i took that off and that cured it. Lesson being: Check your intake, including filter and tubing as well as the manifold, to make sure there are no obstructions.

ALSO:
wtf is "bump"? Ive seen it on here, never knew what it meant...

bump is just a saying when you want people to see your topic...because its a new post your topic moves back upto the the top of the list.....

would it be that tape even if when i'm under the hood i can't hear that whistle at all

[CamryDX]

Which part of the intake was your tape in ? could you take some pics

You might want to check your oil filter and see if it is seated properly.
Mine was off-kilter once (dirt around the seal kept it from sitting flush) and whenever I floored it the engine would get a LOT louder, sounded really nice but I knew it wasn't good, its possible that this could be a culprit for you as well.

[CamryDX]

doubt that, it did it before and after i changed my oil

I have nothing to contribute but couldn't help myself.
