Ok guys been having this crazy sound and what seemed to be a bit of a performance issue...
watched a video and it sounded exactly like what this guys did....
his was a stretched out belt...so I changed my belt...
well it's not as bad of a sound now...and the performance seems better..
now the sound .. sounds like a wind up toy...and comes from the front passanger side of the car...if I place my ear to the engine I hear the injectors.and the other sound just a tiny bit...If I place my ear close to the super charger I hear it pretty loud...
It sounds like my car has a wind up toy under the hood, the faster I go the louder it gets, and it is getting worse as time goes...
whos got a answer for me?

I am having no boost issues...
but I do have some hesetation on acceleration mostly in 2nd and 3rd.
Boost in the cold weather right now is around 11 - 13.

ya sure? That's what it sounds like

Sh0nuff

yeah im 100% sure, this is more of a high pitch clicking sound
it's hard to explain kind of a rattleing from inside.
it is coming from the snout area of the sc
close to the pulley.

I'm thinking bad SC bearing or maybe you need to change the oil in there?

Sh0nuff

I'm at 66,000 Im sure it's never been changed...
what do you have to do to change the bearing out in it?

Couldit be the couplers? any idea on what u gotta do to change those out?

r0k0

same for me.. at higher rpm seems like the SC its going on and off very very quickly right..?

and at idle the SC is clicking..

im gonna change my Couplers for the ZZP soon

Sh0nuff

Well no not exactly in my case it seems like it's always on...on sounds kinda like a bearing going bad I guess...i dunno.

hmmm hello my fellow arlington tx man! lol well i have read that most guys change the supercharger oil but yet again i can be wrong. umh do you think perhaps ur supercharger belt could be off a tooth or two? mine had that kind or problem. but if not bro write it down for me in a pm and i will ask my friend who is the senior mechanic manager at vandergriff where i work at! p.s i have never seen a victory red balt in arlington! im a arrival blue metallic

timing chain rattle dude.

Good call. Shonuff make sure the sound is actually coming from your SC and not inside the engine.

Sh0nuff

well if I put my ear to the engine I barely hear anything but if I put it to the snout of the sc its loud.

S/C Couplers is what I am pointing at.

Talk to OTTP... I dunno if they carry them or not... but I'm sure he can get them.

Change your oil while you are at it.

Sh0nuff

How hard is it to change them out?

Unbolt S/C from Manifold... Empty S/C Fluid... Remove Snout from body... replace.

You could actually do it without removing the S/C from the car, if you wanted.

Sh0nuff

yeah i just read a how to on zzp website.
I might do this next weekend.
the other wonderful thing is from everything I read no one can seem to agree on how much oil to put back in.

What color is it?

With the S/C on the car... and the car completely on the ground... you fill it until oil comes out of the fill hole.

The zzp coupler is green.
Or if you mean the oil, i dunno the zzp oil looks pink but that coulda just been from the picture.

Dainslaif

The argument eventually got to a point where they said that was too much. I believe they finally agreed on 3-4 oz, or "put in as much as you take out".

Well, the first post was straight from Eaton.

But who knows...
