Had a long night tonight...drove over to the wednesday night meet we have here locally and went out with a couple of the cars down George Bush Service road..took one good hit on the car and the supercharger went out..the internals are not spinning...and its making a loud whining noise..

anyhow thought i would share how exciting of a night this was....Let me know your thoughts everyone...If any others who have had this problem please post up your thoughts and what they did to fix it..I dont think my kit is under warranty anymore either....Blah..I will have to look over my papers.

 

Sorry to hear that.... Did you check the belts?? The belts on the supercharger usually go out so check that 1st..

 

Yeah i checked both belts and both belts are still moving but when you get on the throttle they dont take off which would mean something with inside the bell housing.

 

I would def stop driving asap. it sounds like some thing is jammed in there. I would rip it out and inspect to see if you can hear something ratteling around.

 

see thats what so wierd...i dont hear anythign at all rattling...when i hit load my boost doesnt go up past 0 on my gauge...sometimes doesnt even make it to zero...

 

posted a few things on the other thread in DFW, but I'll chime in here. When you say the belts are moving, they spin just like normal. But then when you're in the car and you hit the gas, the car drives like normal but it doesn't build any boost correct?

Check for a loose coupler/pipe. I blew off a coupler before which caused me to build zero boost. The coupler was still attached but moved off the bead of the pipe, so boost would creep out.

 

ok well I will need to check over everything then..

 

Does the SC make the typical whiney noise? If so, then the insides should be working.

 

ya i agree check all the connections b4 ripping it all apart

 

Yeah its making the same whining noise but when I hit the gas the Blow-off valve sounds like its trying to release but there isnt enough pressure to open it.

 

Sounds just like an IC pipe came off. Hope it's nothing serious.

 

Yeah I will have to look tonight and find out when i get to the house if something came off...

 

that sucks. You just installed that too right? I will definitely not buy a used sc or turbo ever now.

 

Well I have had it for about 2 months maybe 3 now...but what i should have done is when i bought it send it out for inspection before installing...then i would of known if something was wrong...but im going to check tonight and see if anything is up with it when I get home.
