Wierd noises from sprintex supercharger
Hi
New here I have 2012 toyota gt86 with sprintex kit on it. I bought it with the kit on it and ever since then the engine bay make squeaking noises , probably belt/pulley noises. First inspection showed that the accessory belt tensioner was not working right so he got replaced with a new one, but the noise is still there. Ill try tomorrow changing the drive belt since i have a spare one at my garage, but she looks perfect, no signs for cracks or anything. Im starting to think the noise is from the sc pulley , is it possible to oil him a lil bit ? Mabey he making this squeaking noises? Does anyone faced the same problem ? Thanks.

Have you changed the gear oil in the supercharger itself in the time that you've owned the car?

Sprintex kits are every 30k but when pushed I have read the seem to loose a bit oil. Most people recommend checking the oil level regularly and it must be jacked up to to get a level reading.

Mine is making weird noises too. Ive attached a video which distinctively demonstrates the sound I'm referring to. I haven't gone to a shop to have it looked at yet but Im thinking this a pulley bearing on its way out (not sure which one)
This noise completely goes away once the car is warmed up. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_DGa2WWJ2U[/ame] Last edited by 86driftcar; 01-15-2020 at 07:36 PM. |

Yes I'm referring to that squeak lol I'm running the 69mm pulley since I had the SC install. I just got this supercharger + pulley/belt a few months ago. Is it possible I need a new belt already. I dont track the car... just daily drive it and occasional pulls nothing crazy. It's hard to believe I need a new belt already but I will try your suggestion. |

Dorman 419-610 Idler Pulley https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003QVIXYU..._yT3iEbDB97W6J
Try this. The stock one will not work as you drop the down to smaller sc pulleys Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

I ran one of these kits for 62K miles. I'd recommend checking the gear oil in the blower on a very regular basis, it will consume oil and if it goes dry bad things will happen.
