supercharger help
16-10-2017, 11:21 AM
Just back from a 80 mile return trip - and about a mile from home and very suddenly a loud whine and lack of power - cruised home and found the spring at supercharger has sheared off. Sounded like a belt was slipping.
So 2 questions :
1. Does anybody have a spare spring or know where to get one ?
2. Can anybody post up an idiots guide to removing the belt for the charger so at least I can run the car ?
Pics would be great please..
Thanks in advance.
I am sure I have read before the springs are weak but just typical to happen when I decide to sell the whole kit.
Cheers

wasnt thinking about that.. so best bet is tripping the charger off completely and putting oriiginal airbox back on ?
If so can this be done by a novice like me -without ramps . I really need to have the car fit to use on Monday.

You can just remove the belt, and disconnect throttle wire then the air goes through the bypass.
You need to loosen the tightener pully then the belt should just come off. You just need to loosen the bolt in the middle of the little pulley.
Then just unclip the throttle wire (move the wire so it comes out the slot)
As for the spring, what does it look like? a coil one or a round one like you get on pliers etc?
Its a known problem, when TTE were still going they would send you an uprated spring free, dunno what you could do now. but if you can find a similar spring it should work

Rabster Hi mate
You can probably get it stripped and back to standard in a few hours
when i stripped mine it took me about an hour and half once the bumper was off etc
if you need any help doing it give me a shout

Stav - that sounds like my best option for now. As for disconnecting the throttle wire - do you mean at the throttle side rather than the charger side ?
Think the spring is the original type not the second version that tte did . It looks to me there is a bit missing . will take some pics tomorrow in daylight and that might help .
