Ok, so yesterday I made my first attempt to install my stage two kit, at first everything was going good until I got the supercharger off and tried to swap out the pulleys, I did not use the pulley puller that the venders on this site offer because I had one of those regular pulley pullers like in the pic, anyway after about an hour I got the stock pulley off using a heat gun. I know I'm not supposed to hammer the supercharger no matter what so I didn't, now my problem is getting the hub from zzp on to the supercharger shaft... does anyone know the size of the bolt that screws into the shaft? my plan was to get a bolt that fits and use some washers so every time I screw in the bolt it will automatically press on the hub. but so far I cannot find the correct bolt to fit in there, I was also thinking about putting the supercharger on a press and press on the hub but I was thinking it might be bad for the blower. does anyone have any other ideas?



bump, anyone? help? hehe

Press it on!!!

it only cost me 25 to do at a auto machine shop.

The screw idea is alright... but it will take ALOT of force to do that... but it would work.

i dont know the exact size of the bolt though, sorry.

 

great so pressing it on will not damage it right?

 

sure wont .

its so much easier to use the press.. especially to take it off.

 

you were really at risk damaging the supercharger shout using the heat gun to get the stock pulley off, but I'm glad it worked out for you in the end. Good luck to you and I hope you enjoy Stage 2

 

when i pull mine out i will prolly have a how to with the autozone
pulley puller, soon ^_^

 

honestly, using that one. i bent my stock pulley to the point where it would just bend at the edges and the puller would come off...

 

hahah same thing happened to me, my stocker is now useless

 

iirc the snout uses an 8mmx1.25 bolt. what you do is get a long bolt, nut and washer. thread the nut on, then thread the bolt as far into the snout as you can. you then tighten the nut up to pull the pulley on. this is how power steering pullies are done and is an acceptable way. by threading the bolt in and tightening the nut it spreads the load over all the threads and you wont risk pulling them out.

 

great great, I'm going right now to get that bolt, I get off work in an hour, can't wait to c if I feel the diff in speed with my stage two!

 

You will feel a nice boost in power from Stage 2. I was a non believer until i got it. You will be impressed.

 

its freaking awesome dude...

stage 2 + cold air = awesome sounds.

 

so I got the bolt, and I got a thread tapper for that bolt as well since the pulley puller damaged the beginning [art of the thread, I tapped it over and the bolt is working great, just have to figure out how to stop the shaft from spinning as I turn the bolt with the hub.

great that's what I have a CAI typhoon and now the stage two with a 2.8 pulley and a tune from Vince at trifecta

does anyone know if the hud is supposed to go flush to the shaft

 

Yes, the hub should be flush with the supercharger shaft ....

 

thanks to everyone who helped me get my stage to upgrade complete, the car is driving again, felt a nice difference in power, it sure is noticeable!

I'm getting close to 18psi of boost now.
