Blew the seal on the front of the blower crank. Whole blower's been acting wonky since. Contacted Sprintex, and they sent me out a new blower without hesitation! Can't beat the customer service. Will be putting it on Sunday.

i somewhat agree with you... but on the other hand im not going to spend 20k on a car then stick anyother 6k into it just to acheive 250whp. for that price i could get a newish sti or a c6 corvette haha. i do miss my brz though. but even with boltons and e85 it just wasnt enough for me.

On another point, does anyone know the OEM crank pulley diameter? I'm thinking of doing something silly for shits and giggles and putting an even smaller pulley on and lowering the redline RPM. Also, my supercharger seems to be weeping a smidge of oil around where it bolts down to the manifold. Anyone had this issue? I'm considering removing and replacing those screws/bolts (seen a few people have done this as the stock ones aren't strong) and resealing. Oh, oh andddd when checking oil in s/c, do you jack the back up or check it on level ground (which puts s/c at slight angle) THANKS PEEPS!! ilylongtiem |

If you're weeping oil there, you may want to consider an oil catch can. I'm pretty sure the original pulley diameter is 73mm. People will tell you to Jack up the back of the car for oil check, but I do it on level ground. If you can see oil through the little window, you're probably fine

Would an oil catch can stop this? I wasn't sure if it was blow by leak or the actual supercharger system leak.
So the actual crank pulley itself is 73mm? (not the supercharger pulley) |

Oh, supercharger pulley is 73. Not sure on crank. I wouldn't think there'd be enough oil in the supercharger to make it weep. My bet is on blowby oil from crankcase.

In a nut shell, somehow my blower crank seal went. Kevin from @SprintexUSA and his team have probably one the best support teams available. I want to thank all of them for what they do, can't wait to finally swap the blowers and be good to go again!
Sweet little tid-bit.. my 210 now has a 'Sprintex' logo on it!!
