How many miles or km on this kit!! U need to take it to Procharger or someone who specializes in overhauling centrifugal superchargers! I would send it to the manufacturer and try to get some kind of warranty!!

shouldnt be any more than 3-4k miles on it

oil is shooting out of it......

WHAT? From where?

from me and i got it from reggie (nism0tic) thing is, i never got a chance to install it

You just need a Seal.

its the o ring that goes between the transmisson peices.

its a common prob. on blowers that are not taken care of properlly.

get a new one, And when you put it in, get some black RTV, and rub it over it as well.

Or just keep the one you have now, and try the RTV too.


Good luck  It looks like a mess inside the blower, with the gears, and slingers, just dont freak out, or touch any of them 

wow, you are lucky. and im relieved that you are still covered under warranty heh

me two.....i wonder what the humming noise is tho is it possible that the belt is rubbing against itself between the tensor pulley and the one right above it?

Just b.c. its under warrenty, dosnt mean they will cover it.   

I hope they do, Just a heads up though

man sorry to hear.
I had the same issue, bought a kit from desmos(whateevr hsi name is doens't own a spec anymore) He bought it form defyf8.

Defyf8 magicaly sold it to desmaos for some apparent reason. HE has told me it was because he didn't like spingin tires or something. Dameons in alberta,Caadna then got it he said he never recieved an 8psi pulley and only ever made 6psi. Even tho defyf8 claims it was a 8psi pulley. Deasmos crashe dhsi car and I got the blower from him. Unfortunately i ahev no videos of Dameoms before eh got in a crash or i coudl hear what noise it was making. I purchased it got it installed, and it made a horrid sound, boost to only 4psi, and woudl get super hot on idle. Sent it to procharger $800 and chaneg later I got a rebuitl blower back as the input shaft was broken. ATI has neevr given me a reason as to why it was damaged. Anywho back on car good to go only made 6psi with the 8psi pulley on. And it made dynojet numbers of 260whp. Supposeldy defyf8 made that on a 3 psi pulley no intercooler.


I hope everythgin works otu for you . The blower squirts a bit of the purple stuff here and there. Kurt and kevin are also a great help.

oh ya intheshower i think you msged me on youtube

ya that was me haha

well its were the compressor meets the gearbox

ya its all there

well its coming were the compressor side meets the gear box........

thats also were it is lose

I wouldn't worry too much about "why" or "how"...just get it rebuilt, because that's the only thing that's gonna solve the problem. In the future I wouldn't recommend buying a used turbo or supercharger. Not trying to say ANYTHING about ANYBODY here, but there are alot of idiots out there who don't know how to take care of shit.

sounds like something got ingested and really F'd something up.   I was at a car show last week and it was late and most the cars were gone so i was getting ready to leave but im glad i stuck around because somehow a ring ended up going into the turbo on a scion and i was at the other side of the parking lot and heard a loud as pop and basically the ring took out 3 of the compressor fins and cause 1 fin to shear into the cartridge and when they popped the pipe off of the being to the intercooler to get the ring oil just flowed out.

the propeller looks fine

help me help you man.

Take the compressor houseing off, and take a pic of the impeller at a few angles.

Just found this thread, but is that how the blower was installed on your car as pictured above?

If so....OUCH!

You are missing all the OEM socket bolts that attach the volute to the housing. There are 7 or 8 of them with washers. They are installed every other bolt hole and that is what seals the volute AND keeps it from rotating. Here is how it should be at all times:



If this is the case, then the volute would move and make contact with the impeller, and might possibly break the seal. It could also be oily/dirty water mix that is making it into the volute due to a bad seal.

I hope they fix it because they are very expensive to fix. I have only seen one used kit work and install reliably. That is the risk you take with used parts when you do not know how they were taken care of.

Good to hear, but where are the bolts that hold the volute (compressor housing) to the head unit??? You complained it would move or was loose. Without the bolts that would happen and also cause the impeller to strike... I do not see any in your picture above?

Hi guys. I am always interested in what's going on in the Procharged SpecV world.

I suspect that if ATI has your C-1 and has agreed to repair it under warranty, you will receive it back from them with all the necessary volute bolts back in place.

And an FYI.

I have called ATI tech service a few times (no problems, just research) and they asked me for my serial number. When I gave it to them and told them it has never been installed yet, they told me that now it needs to be serviced. The guy said that you can't leave a Procharger unused on a shelf for very long or the seals all go bad just sitting. And he said it would be $350 + shipping for that service.

Kevin, Kurt. Either of you hear that before?

Jaden

Never. They need to make money any way they can. They are run and tested before shipping, so everything is still coated with oil on the inside, including the seals. If they go bad just sitting, how can you expect them to last when running and going through heat cycles? Doesn't make sense to me.  What about the drag cars or others that run them, and have the car/engine up for months while build or repaired? I don't think they have new seals everytime the car goes up.

As far as the bolts, they will supply you with new ones. FYI that IS the reason your seal went bad, and lucky something more major did not happen. I just hope it is not worn from moving to much that it no longer makes a proper seal to the housing. I cannot believe it was even sent to you in that condition with no bolts. Especially since they are shipped with everything tightened down. Good thing for you they are covering it.

i am officially s/c and its fucking awesome
