New Car!!!

Hey,

I got a new 3rd gen today. I scored a 1994 Black with Gray interior SE. Its a 5spd, has a sunroof, 125,000 miles, FSTB, pop charger, one spot of surface rust, and some parkinglot dings and scratches( but I'm going to fix those)....

So now I have three 3rd gens... 2 1992 SE's (Black and wrecked, and White and rusty) and a 1994 SE (Black and Good)... all that run and drive (some better than others)

I have a concern with a sound comming from the engine... At idle it sound like the 2 radiator fans are on, but when I look under the hood I see that the fans aren't on. I can't tell if the sound increases with rpm. Could this sound be because of the popcharger that it has?

IF THE SOUND YOURE TALKING ABOUT IS A LOUDER THAN NORMAL SUCKING SOUND THEN ITS PROBABLY THE POP CHARGER. YOU CAN REV THE ENGINE WHILE YOU LOOK AT IT BY LOCATING THE 2 THROTTLE CABLES AND PUSHING THE LIL GIZMO ITS CONNECTED TO FORWARD.

Ok, I did some listening around the engine today... the first thing I noticed was that the sound had changed.. it went from sounding like the electrical fans were on to sounding like a low drone... It seemed to come from the pop charger along with the added sucking sound... I also noticed that my vtcs tick (must have missed it when buying the car cuz I'm so used to the sound)...
