Well my s14 with a ka24de started to make this squeeking noise recently and I thought it would be my belts so I checked the tension on all belts and lubed them up a bit and it still makes noise. It makes the sqeeking noise only when I give it gas and is hella anoying, so if anyone could help me out that would be cool.

if you've done all that, then most likely it's your alternator going bad.

Make sure the idler pully is lubed up good.

first of all, dont use any kind of a lube on your belts...thats only gonna make the problem worse....you said you checked the belt tension...what method did you use? The best way to check a modern ribbed belt (short of using a belt deflection gauge...who-tf has one of those anyway? ) IS to grab the belt in question in the middle of its longest span and try to twist it. a properly tentioned belt should only turn about 90deg.

These guys do have a couple good points, if one of your accesorys (ps pump, alternator, water pump, idler pully...etc...is going bad, it could be locking up the puilley, or at least making it more difficult to spin, thereby causing the belt to slip. Unfourtunatly for you, you've already "lubed" the belt, and more than likely ruined it. never use a petroleum based product on a drive belt.

I recommend replacing the belts you lubed, and tensioning them when the method i described...and while the belts are off, check all the pullys for excessive friction/noise/play while free spinning.

Yeah I checked the tension by hand and they all were at the right tension, and yes I did use the method by twisting them. I will take off my belts and check all my pulleys and bearings and see what else might be going on. Thanks for your guys help, if you have anything else to add let me know. Thanks
