Heard it straight away and knew what was, it's the O2 pump that warms the cat. Also means your cat could also be on the way or getting to much back pressure
Hey mate, it's definitely sounds like your airpump. It only works when the car is cold to pump regular temperature air into the headers\extractors. Since you have no cat you don't need it. It will throw a CEL on the odd occasion if it's a cold morning. I had this same noise when my air pump failed. My AEM intake also makes that sound from the filter sucking in that air. Unplug your airpump then start it up on when she's cold. Hope this helps mate. Love your work keep it up! Keen to see the drift build! ✌
It's possibly the SSV in the intake. The rotating valve that controls what ports are being used across the rev range. It may be stuck in a bad spot leaving it between two positions. That can cause some strange noises as air passes through. It's not uncommon for the SSV to get clogged up and need cleaning.
Have you thoroughly cleaned the throttle body? How did you verify no vacuum leaks? Did you spray the hoses with soapy water to test for any leaks in your hoses?
If the noise is at idle, and less when you rev the engine, i would suggest oil metering pump / jet is blocked. Vacuum is taken before the throttle body to meter the oil injected into the engine. Google "rx8 oil metering pump noise" a couple of people have similar issues
Driven by madness if the noise started around two months ago and you fitted the aftermarket intake prior to that, then i would refit oem intake and run for a few miles (say 100). And see if that helps. Good luck from a fellow rx8 owner in the UK.
Try disconnecting the alternator when running to take the load of it. The alternator can still charge even if it has a bad rectifier. That's what it sounds like to me. But it it is hard trying to listen on a video. Just unplug the input connector it should have 4 maybe 6 wires coming from it it will be a square type plug. Only takes 30 seconds to do. That way you know either way. Cheers from Queensland Australia. Mark.
I have a strange noise at low RPM it sounds like a chuffing sound, the car drives good with plenty of pull and easy starts cold and hot.. Any clue too the chuffing sound I'll be very grateful.
Check the ball bearing on the generator, stick a screwdriver on top of it and put your ear into the screwdriver and listen, do the same around in the enginebay. If the sound is really loud on the generator compared to other places, replace the ballbearings in the generator, or just swap the whole generator. Tommy, Norway
It's the same sound when you unplug the top hose just before your throttle body and listen to it. It is connected to the intake ports in the lower intake manifold and it seems like it's the rotors spinning that makes the sound.
Mine is making the exact same noise from the intake. I've done some research and it could be the hoses between the MAF and TB with the stock intake, I see your intake still has them. One goes to the oil fill thing, and the others bugger off somewhere into the deeper engine bay. If you pinch either of the other two closed and the noise goes away, according to the official Mazda service manual the fix for the noise is to ignore it. If you can't ignore it, then replacing those hoses can sometimes get it to go away. Alternatively, it could be one of the three vacuum solenoids on the back of the upper plastic intake manifold, they have blue, black, and white plugs on them and are stacked vertically. They run the air injection pump valve, along with two of the three intake manifold tuning valves including the SSV that allows the high end power. I suspect that since it is coming from the intake so loudly with the throttle body closed though that it is just the first two hoses, and can safely be ignored. That's how I'm fixing mine for now anyways lol.
Hi ..i got a 2004 rx8 automatic..... am having issues with it ...... when the car is park it function normally but when I step on the gass all the warning light turn on ......battery, ABS, TCS/DSC , power stering the wheel gets hard ..... do you know what could be the issue?
Idk y it would come from the intake, but if it sounds like a go kart, then it's the air pump. Mine was REAAALLY loud, and it probably went bad because of the EVAP solenoid not working properly. It wasn't opening the valve and the air pump tried forcing air in until it gave out. I actually had a CEL from this regarding the air pump. It sounded loud for quite some time until the ECU decided to throw the code.
I have got 2007 rx8 gt last month. I live in north Carolina and the temperature changes fast and will crack the dash in a H cause of the airbag on the passengers side is there anyway to prevent that?
If your LTFT is within spec then you don't have a vacuum leak. Although it does sound like one. You have narrowed it down to the throttle body, is it clean? Is there carbon buildup in the throttle body. ? Also this might sound crazy but there are 2 one way check valves that connect to the vacuum ports on the TB, these can whistle believe it or not. Check them.
If this happened after you changed the intake you might have clogged something after you installed the intake because aftermarket filters tend to have very poor filtering. Better airflow but poor filtering. So some crap might have got through the vacuum lines to for example the jet air line or one of the oil injectors.
Did you ever find out what the issue was? I saw a few ideas I was thinking it was the air pump as well. Just curious just in case I run into the problem.
If it stops after about a minute or so after the car has been running then it is the secondary air pump. DO NOT disconnect it as this pump is used to protect your CAT during cold engine start. If the sound is constantly on even after engine warm up and has been running for a while then make sure the secondary air pump is actually not on constantly, could be the control relay has failed or worst yet the pump has failed. If the sound increase with revs then you have a bearing failure somewhere, could be the alternator bearing, tensioner bearing etc.
yup, it is only their to blow cold air into the exhaust manifold to quickly evaporate the rich unburnt fuel used at startup so it does not burn the CAT out.
aKaFlows its always present. The more.the gas get warmed up, the louder it gets. When I drive it, the sound gets quieter, but never disappears completely
Skizzlle 90° celsius is normal, but everything.above that, you need to check if.your fans are turning.on at the right.time. my operating.temperature in.summer was.100°celsius, which is a bit higher than.normal. but in.ur case, connect a OBD2 scanner, check the temperature, look if the fans start turning.on around.90°. Also, when was the last time.you've flushed your cooling system?
I'm not a proper mechanic but is the sound coming from the throttlebody itself? Maybe it has to do with the exhaust recirculation. Otherwise i would say it could be a bearing inside the engine, the e-shaft (crackshaft) bearing is known to slip around sometimes, cutting off it's own oil supply. You could check this by draining you oil and look at it, if there are some copper bits in there it could be the e-shaft bearing. Sounds pretty nasty to me though, good luck with it! This might be an expensive one 😓
No, i won't think the engine has something to do with it. Otherwise it would be present even before the CAI. Because after installing it, the sound manifested, and from that moment on, it stayed.
Like I said, i'm not a mechanic but to me it sounded like a dying bearing and the e-shaft one is the one that usually goes... and with the original airbox it became more silent, but in normal driving the original airbox is always more silent then the open filter so therefore it might be the enige. I really hope for you that it turns out to be a leaking airhose or something though, good luck man!
Sorry man my English is not so well but I try to explain my point You are looking for that noise on intake system But for me is not in intake Because the king of noise it sound if there is some friction in rotation of some king of things In my option is not the intake but the alternator that it is just behind the intake The sound is a bit reduce because the intake can amplificate or reduce the noise in base of the shape Sorry for my English and tell me if I helped you or not Goodbye man :)
I just did a google search for this and saw that many, many people have reported this issue so far. The only thing resembling an answer was a guy that said it could be the airpump. Other than that, internet doesn't seem to know the answer. Have you called a specialist?
Flyingdutchy33 yea, its one of issues where everyone posts a video, but non have an update or any documented fix on.the whole internet. So this is an opportunity to finally fix this issue :) if the required fix will go beyond our knowledge, ill take it to a mazda dealer
Driven By Madness I have the same thing going on as well. Trying to find out why it’s making that noise. Have you’ve been driving it with that noise still
yeah I'd that issue also.. it's like yours becaming very noticeable when I'd an aftermarket intake fitted.. several months pondering & checking this that & its mother.. only to (after say 1/2 a year) my front rotor apex seal failed. I'd check some oil lines making sure there not blocked up, I know from reading up on the owners club yrs ago theirs 1 line particular to becoming gunked up & preventing (its either a vacuum breather line or oil delivery line, think its a breather line) when it becomes blocked up obviously it prevents one action from being performed which then contributes to failing engines (I'd do some checking online ASAP) you'll find info regarding the line i'm talking about.. also a small note!! your intake isn't efficient this also isn't going to be helping your engine perform have you considered putting 2 stroke oil into your fuel mixture (many ppl do this to aid in oil delivery for the rotary engine)
Mal P ill definitely.check the oil lines this week, as this is.my concern to, because I think.the top tube on the intske makes.the sound, and that tube is connected to.the omp, so I'll have that checked first. I already premix my engine :)
Did you ever figure out what was the root cause? It's been 5 years since yiu released this video. I'd like to know because I have the same thing happening. Please respond with a video link if you have made a video, if not just reply to this with what you found please!
Its a normal sound when you put a cold air intake. Sound of some parts working resonate inside the intake tube. Before, they were still there but the sound was dampened by the rubber intake hoses.
@@Drivenbymadness great thank you! I appreciate you and all your videos! I hope you still have your 8 and will continue to make videos for the foreseeable future! I'm loving mine, I have too much fun with it! I have an 06 GT
Hi there my rx8 made this sound all I done was clean my throttle body but clean the electrical connection while it’s running try and play with the connection it should go away as mine did once it did I cleaned the connection hope that this helps
Its gotta be the Secondary air pump. The part is expensive but its easy to replace. I did it on mine and it only took 20min. High pitched noise at start that eventually goes away once you start driving.
At first check out the vakuum hose, that goes from the air intake to the oil injectors. You can increase the oil consumption, if you reduce the diameter of this hose. This hose gives the same sound if it leaks. If it leaks, your apex seals will get almost no oil.
This hose is the one marked with yellow line. If you hold the end of the hose with your finger, it should be silent (also the idle will be a little bit higher, because of more oil). If it still gives the high pitch sound, maybe it comes from it and you have found the problem.
www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/vacuum-lines-go-where-206314/ #6 shows the two lines coming from intake. One goes to OMP, One goes to jet air/fuel mixing line to engine below SSV.
It's not a problem all aem intakes make that noice there is no fix for it and is just the whistle of the air travelling through the longer intake piping it's nothing to worry about
I cant say what it exactly is but it sounds like a resonance vibration caused by maybe one of the running belt and getting louder over the intake. Sound makes its way like a wave and over the metal parts a resonance vibration is possible. I guess the intake ,cause of its form, makes it easier for the sound to go through. Thats i guess why its more quiet with the original intake. Maybe something is grinding somewhere. But maybe iam wrong, just my thoughts. If someone knows it better or i speak complete bullshit then feel free to correct me.

This hose is the one marked with yellow line. If you hold the end of the hose with your finger, it should be silent (also the idle will be a little bit higher, because of more oil). If it still gives the high pitch sound, maybe it comes from it and you have found the problem.
Thanks, i will definitely check it! :)
Around the corner you say? Where are you from mate ? :D
the noise is from the throttle body, it is completely normal. it's the sound of the throttle position being held at idle.

Jonas Gagiskisas ok, ill try it. Thanks!
Jonas Gagiskisas didnt make a difference, we've traced the sound to the omp.
Uuuu, My rx8 died in the winter when the OMP iced up.
That's a vaccuum leak. I unplugged a hose, before the throttle body, and made that exact sound.
torocsikm89 I did it. Its the hose going to the omp. Were gonna inspect the omp.to.see whats causing.it
Are you planning to install a set of coilovers on your rx8?
OneTimeImp902 yes, after my first drift track.day, ill start with the heavy dutybdrift mods ;)
What happened to the front right of your bumper? Tis' quite the nasty gash!
JoelOnSocial it was there when I bought it, but I don't worry much, since the car needs to be repainted :)
Did the video ever come out
Sadly no, but its still on my list, so eventually it will
i had the same problem i replaced my secondary air pump it was gone after i replaced it
Air pump. Disconect it
Ok, ill try it :) Thanks!
You need to polish your headlight! And those plastic clips that hold the fender liner are awful! I broke some while dissasembling..
By the way, maybe it's your Air Conditioner Idler Pulley. Mine was bad too but I never ran the engine with it so I don't know how it would sound like.
mrawesomelemons those headlights need big Brenda's love to get back in shape. But they will, don't worry 😊💪
mrawesomelemons hmm, ill see that when ill change pulleys and belts :)
Awesome! Keep up the work!
So basically we learned that you don't put cold air intake on the car if you don't want to spoil it.
Basically
A mazda RX8 2005
58 599 miles = 94 307 km
Good Condition
No engine light
8721.07 euros
good or no ?
Hmm... Sounds odd.
But oddly, I'm assuming metal on metal somewhere. 🤔
I cant say what it exactly is but it sounds like a resonance vibration caused by maybe one of the running belt and getting louder over the intake. Sound makes its way like a wave and over the metal parts a resonance vibration is possible. I guess the intake ,cause of its form, makes it easier for the sound to go through. Thats i guess why its more quiet with the original intake. Maybe something is grinding somewhere. But maybe iam wrong, just my thoughts. If someone knows it better or i speak complete bullshit then feel free to correct me.
Interesting. Fortunately, my timing belt is scheduled to be replaced soon, so hopefully then, i'll be able to narrow down the possibilities :)
We don't have a timing belt with the rotary, sorry.
It’s the air pump making that noise
Check the throttle plate screws
Ben Graham will do,.thanks.:)
This is your Air intake underpressure made this noisy pitch
holy shit this is the first time i've seen your face.
It's the air pump for the cat dude just delete it
Ok, ill try it :) Thanks!
i hear same thing in my mazda but i thought its good and i ignore it 😂
Mr Gokartboy I.dont think ignoring stuff is good in the long run 😋
Driven by madness ***i saw it in mazda i was looking for*** sorry ;) i dont have my rx8 rn
Mr Gokartboy oooh, that's cool man, hopefully yours won't have this problem :)
:)
Its the air pump
Just delete all that shit
We've traced the sound to the hose leading to the OMP. I'll check if there's a vacuum leak or something else
Try unplugging the ait pump and see if it goes away
I had the same issue in the past.
Ubaci mu motor od Golfa. Jednom mom komšili jad je prolupao motor na kombaju stavio 1.6 od Golfa keca.
Mladen Milić pa stvarno je legenda ta tvoj komsija 😄 trebao bi snemati.video da se vidi kako.on.to radi. Nadam.se da bi mnogima ovo zanimalo I on bi dobio pare 👌
It's a bearing inside the engine making that noise it's a greasing noise u getting there.
We've traced the sound to the hose going to the omp. We'll inspect it to see if there's a leak
That sound is coming from the air pump
we've traced the sond to the omp. Air pump is not the issue, we've tried disconnecting did not solve the issue.
Lmao
Rx8... My favorite pain in the &$$
Yup :)
Swap an sr20det and you will be ok..its the better thing!!😉😉😉
jdm master in theory, its the most cost effective long term fix 😄😄
You must be deaf
Air pump
We solved it. It was NOT the air pump, as it makes a distinct noise that is not this one.
rebuild warning xDDD
Edward Jones naaaaah 💪💪🔧🐣🙃
