different noise from vortech help

Nissan370 · 09-15-2012, 11:05 AM

i started getting a strange noise from my vortech about 2days ago not sure if i need to change the oil on it or something else is going on

here the video clip

i had the supercharge put in aug 2011 drove the car for maybe 1300miles since last year but most of the time it sits (jeimports 6months)

i am going to change the oil maybe thats the problem i never changed it so i am sure they did not

hell they did not even keep my battery charged up lol

Mine did this, but on install..
oil level was at half of what it should of been. check your little dip stick on top of the charger.
I toped her off and i havent heard it since.
It also could be a bearing going on it.
I wouldnt drive it, until u figure it out.
Could mess it up more.
Also, call vortec.. they might beable to help you.

ya i was at like half the oil when i drained it looks like there there was a very very slow leak were the oil drain plug was

i fulled it up and its still making the noise so..

EVOHUNTER · 09-15-2012, 02:21 PM

Hmmm, Well.
What i would do, pull the supercharger out.
Send it out to vortec, (make sure the levels right on the oil)
They should warranty it.

ok after rechecking the sound is not comming from the blower but from the driveshaft pulley ( pulley that connects the blower pulley to the pulleys on the front of the motor

ANMVQ · 09-15-2012, 11:58 PM

That's the 9 psi pulley no? How long have you had it? Did you get the 3 warranty from stillen?

Nissan370 · 09-16-2012, 10:28 AM

calling them monday i am just glad its not the blower

Nissan370 · 09-19-2012, 06:31 AM

ANMVQ · 09-19-2012, 08:27 AM

Try calling him again, if its John "Nawga" something like that he'll take care of you same guy I dealt with, He is good but VERY busy.. He is the only guy there.

Nissan370 · 09-19-2012, 09:51 PM

but he is telling me that it sounds normal so i send him another video clip

http://youtu.be/fD5FKJpFdX0

the car sounds like i have a kenne bell under the hood its very loud when the rpms get high

EVOHUNTER · 09-20-2012, 05:25 PM

In all honesty, there a bunch of idiots lol!
Im telling the guy i have a hot start issue, He told me to check my grounds bahaha.
They know nothing about there kit, the only guy who knew anything was the tuner..

Nissan370 · 09-21-2012, 08:29 AM

Ya I don't deal with Je import anymore but I am told by stillen that they have to chk the car out and call stillen about my warranty else it's a 600 dollar part because the drive shaft pulley is a sealed bearing connected to the supercharger bracket

ANMVQ · 09-22-2012, 08:15 AM

Um Yea There is something wrong,lol.. I know I have not hard my car is 3 months but just listened to you vid and then listened to mine. Bearing noise ftl should be covered. Your Kenney bell compare was right on hahah , should be klacking noise a Super whistle

EVOHUNTER · 09-22-2012, 11:37 AM

I Was talking about stillen, not JE imports.
I havent dealt with those guys.
All i know is stillens customer support sucks,
and the guys know nothing..
