Finally got around to making a video for the guys requesting it. Isnt long but daylight was going quick. Thanks

That rattling noise... is that the sound of the superchargers gear assembly?

Sounds mint under load

trab8989

I have no clue, maybe somebody else will chime in. If I Rev the car a hair and give it say 200 more rpms the noise is gone. I figured it was a normal sounds as there is another video of a fixed pulley on YouTube and his sounds the same.

menace2sobriety

I remember finding a thread where the guy said it seemed to be the gear assembly on the SC

Guess they are just noisy when rotating at idle

trab8989

If we can bump up the idle a little with no ill effects then that would pretty much take care of it.

menace2sobriety

TBH it is not something I personally would worry about, if there's no damage occurring then let it be

Did you reset adaptations via Star before the tune

Also your intake, where it goes into the radiator area, are those silicone couplers joining onto the factory inlet tubes into the radiator? (sorry to get off topic - I am seeing my fabricator this weekend to get my y pipe sorted and can't find any pictures etc of what other setups are doing in that radiator area - I am mirroring the fabtech inline tube setup but I'm using 3.5" piping all the way and the largest inline cannisters/filters)

Its just two angled k&n cone filets with the point of cone going into the factory intake spots.

Sounds nice!!!

You should take the blower off and verify that your rotors are not chewing themselves to bits. Your car sounds similar to when the rear bearings in my supercharger failed.

Are the bearings replaceable?

trab8989

Shardul does it sound normal to you? He is the man who should know if anybody I cant imagine the bearings being bad, car only has 29k on the clock...

boostedfe3

That rattle at idle is normal. I have a fsp and it's the same.

2000UZJ

The large black disk (magnet?) on mine makes that sound when coming to a stop. When spinning by hand it also makes that sound. Is there a bearing in that? Maybe replace that bearing.

trab8989

Yeah im almost 100% that the noise is normal. I have seen vids of at least 3 other cars with the exact same noise. Not counting the guy above that said it was the same on his car. So it would have to be a weird coincidence everybody needs the same bearings...

O-55

Yes, the NSK bearings are replaceable. The bearing number should be available on the forum via a search. I can post pics of my paperweight if needed.

2000UZJ

Probably a good idea to pull mine off and do a full fluid flush and bearing re-fresh and inspection.

O-55

I was only making a suggestion. The bearings and rotors may in fact spin true. I would rather be certain than assume that the noise is normal.

O-55

A fluid change and visual inspection are easy enough to do. I would not, however, completely tear down the supercharger unless you have the proper tools for the job.

nice pass

Thanks

Very nice! I cannot wait to install mine.

Moosepuck

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I should have mine by the end of the month.

What other safety mechanisms are employed by our cars if say.....our IC pump goes out? It won't be able to shut down the s/c obviously with a FSP.

SoCal55k

I am running a FSP and also have the same noise so I believe it is normal.

SICAMG

I have installed alot of Mustang supercharger kits from Ford and that "marble"sound is not normal. The whine, which sounds fantastic on your car, is normal. Unless there is alot of rotor clearance or the bearings are done that could cause that noise you hear at idle. BUT....if that is normal, and I could be wrong,I would opt out of the fixed pulley if it is going to sound like rod bearings. Hope it runs well for you.

berti_00

every car with this pulley sounds like that.... i feel like its a bearing or else there is no reason for it to be having that noise. That is kinda scaring me on having the pulley done. Well see if someone actually comes out and checks their bearings on their supercharger where ever they are to see if they are bad or not.... If they are good an noise is there than i suppose its a normal thing
