bearing on vortech going bad???

Well guys to be honest i dont even know how this has become my conclusion. Took the car to infiniti for service and tech told me my bearings are going bad on the vortech. I guess that explains some of the noises that never went away with all the new belts and pulleys changed. Any advice guys, how much are the costs?


time to call vortech or whattt!

Get your car to a real tuner that works with superchargers. My z had a horrible bearing noise at low rpms. My solution was a 3:12 pulley kit and retune. No more sloshy bearing noises any more not to mention the extra hp.

Try having the idle on your car raised to about 800 maybe a little higher. That helps get rid of some of the noise to.
