Is my supercharger SHOT ?

So it has made this noise ever since I got it (used) still pulls 9psi

Sounds bad to me, the others ive heard were pretty smooth/silent at idle.

 

I'd have to agree with devinzz1, I have over 85K on mine and it's silent at idle. I've read a write up or two on here on rebuilding them yourself, but not sure I'd be willing to tackle it. Depends on if you have the $$ to send it off for a rebuild/replacement. How many miles on it?

 

No clue but I'm gonna order a rebuild kit...hopefully that's all it needs

 

rear bearings....20$ on ebay

 

You think I should rebuild the snout too?

You think it's the rear?

Was gonna buy this kit

just the things in the top left. when you get it apart grab the pulley and spin it if there is any play then yea rebuild the whole thing (some say if its apart do it). i didn't and its running fine....for now

 

Do you have a link? There's no play and it spins smooth

The coupler is making the rattle can noise.....sounds like it's time for a rebuild.

You should probably get yourself a new belt on it too.

 

It's been like that ever since I got the supercharger (used) you think it's just the rear bearings? Or the rotor hitting the housing ?

 

It has a brand new belt. I can't hear any noise from the nose cone. All from the back

 

It's the coupler

 

That kit doesn't include the rear bearings?

 

I just figured you could use the belt.....keep it if it's good. I've never rebuilt mine because it's still relatively new. Mine is a second gen s/c. Nevertheless, with all the research I've done the noise I hear yours making it sounds like the coupler.

 

yea thats what was wrong with mine and juan can also be right bc when i had mine apart i changed out that coupler also. and if its able to run still check all the bolts make sure you have them all tight if you miss one the gasket can make a crazy noise like that also....

 

The sealed bearings you see in the kit are what you need.

 

and when you take it apart you'll see scratches in the rotor to assure you its the rear bearings
