so on my way to formula d this year this honda civic pulled up beside me and wanted to race. sooo of course i did but i revved alittle past where im suppose to and then i pull into FD and it is making this horrible pinging or knocking noise. it sounds like something is loose jingling around in there somewhere. but now at idle you cant hear it but when driving pretty much the whole time it is making that noise.HELP whats wrong with my yota

 

well pull the valve cover and start looking for broken stuff...If its a jingle its usually something up there...if its a solid knocking its in the lower end...good luck! let us know what you find. We like carnage pics

 

did you smoke the honda at least??

 

Wait a min.

You did a WOT nutral drop on the automatic...

I bet something just worked loose. Look and look and look. Once you can make the noise, its real easy to find.

 

I wouldn't even bother racing a Honda especially if its a DOHC Vtec or your motor is built or even boostin. My girls 4 door Integra GSR will smoke me. ahaha.. I hope you find out whats wrong atleast.

 

i race my cousin 95 honda civic coupe vtec on my 3vze and smoked him lol
Try post a video of the sound...

 

Just a regular EX Civic coupe? I know it wasn't a Si

 

im thinking its just got a d series in it. i used to walk on my dads but my brother has a b series swap in his EG and beats stock v8 mustangs and camaros but he doesnt have v-tech

 

i used to hangout with alot of honda kids a year ago. the d series motors, unless seriously built (why, money could do a b swap) they dont usually beat a 20/22R. unless you have an auto, or really need a tuneup. lol. i used to beat most of the d series people. could give b series cars a run for their money on a 45 or 60 drop but once they got to about 6k rpm they walked away from me. they may be the butt of jokes but they make some wicked power if done right.

anyways, keep hunting around. you may have throw a valve out of adjustment, blown an exhaust gasket, or possibly tossed a rod bearing.

 

yea B series motors will take out a 22RE all day. Whether its a b16 or b18. I personally think a D series motor will take mine out. My bro in laws atleast and its stock with just intake. I know cuz i drove his. haha...

 

LOL I had a stock turbo 300zx, and never got outran by any N/A honda, even h22 crxs... they are just turds. But now everyone and there brother has turbo ones now around here... but my Z has been broke so no one can race it and ruin its name even though they have like 10000 in there car and I still have a few hundred.

 

H22's are weak. B20 built right is the best way to go. Alright this is a Yota forum. Enough for me. haha...

 

haha. exactly. i did always love toasting the built up ford probe in the group. funny part was i was rocking stock probe wheels. i didnt even have a cam. haha.

but anyways, post up a video if you can. move it slowly around the engine while it idles. or a driving clip with the windows up and stereo off.

 

Ford? boooooooooooo..........

i seen a Yota with Mustang wheels. What was he even thinking?

 

a h22 in a eg hatch shell will out run a stock si anytype any year....h22s are fast but most people dnt know how to drive...i love b20s because they dnt run a fat hole in ur hood like the k24s and k20s...my favorite is a fully built h22 or b20..they both are awesome to me...but i used to spank b series tegs(LS) up the hill to my school by 5feet i say so idk...i have a 22r with just a 32 36...weak i know...

 

Pfft. Some ford stuff works well on some yotas....

A guy here with an 8.8 swap, many with ford wheels. Big arse brakes off a cobra goin on mine.

My hybrid 22R, (stock carb, cam and exhaust mani) walked the piss out of my buddy Warrens b16 NA EG hatchmobile. Granted he just got it and he was still gettin used to it... I dont see what the hypes all about.

 

big 13 (slotted/drilled) in. rotors!! yayah!! lul....

 

yeah i beat him of course! but it was a d16 lx civic. and i got the valve cover off and i didnt see anything wrong on the top end. no metal pieces or nothing so i think it was just a valve out of adjustment.

 

Naw im straight off the Ford stuff. haha... Whatever you like tho i guess.

 

im thinking you broke the timing chain guide and now its making noise.
