Went to my tuner today because the stock Eaton was making some funny noises that I was concerned about.
We have diagnosed that the gears in the front of the Supercharger are about to go.
It kind of grinds while the engine is running and we checked the SC oil which is already filthy from just about a month of use. I am still driving it now and am afraid it will seize on me at a high boosted state which could be very bad. It is not my DD. I have no idea how this could have happened. The tuner (PHP) believes it to be from the previous owner banging on the car when the components were not up to running temps... Or just shear coincidence.
To say I am upset would be an understatement.
Has anyone else out there come across this issue or have any advice?
Obviously I am looking into a Whipple or a ported blower but I just got done with this build and was planning on waiting for a winter project so I could save money.
Any input would be appreciated. It would be awesome if you all were like, "mine has grinded for years and its fine!" I am doubting i will get that response. haha...
Thanks fellas!
