[quote="SCIONtific_tC"][quote="ack154"]I love how there are all of these threads about the supercharger dying or having problems, and people talking bad about them since they were discontinued...

Then there's always this:

well when i first got the s/c i already had problems with the car stalling and it had no mods on it and it was still making these weird noises just not as bad.

SCIONtific_tC

damn 6gs that is crazy haha might as well invest that for another car.

SCIONtific_tC

hey can you install ceramic bearing into an s/c and then we can swap. i would send mine over to you but my car is daily driven.

scikotictc232

good luck i know a few people have upgraded the bearing and the shafts themselves also.

[quote="SCIONtific_tC"][quote="SCIONtific_tC"]If you're out of warranty then your out. Simple as that. Take off the charger and run N/A! :D

YGPM brother.

thank god i never bought the s/c! good luck bro! dealers with warrantys always try every lil excuse to not cover your car.

SCIONtific_tC

yeah that's what im worried about.

If the dealer already voided your warranty, you're already done. Try Method 4 in San Jose / Santa Clara - Ask for Sam, the owner.

For more expensive work, there's Blacktraxx (spelling?) somewhere in the east bay. You might also ask equinox2355 where he got his SC tuned

You might also ask Dave Gille at Stevens Creek Toyota Service Dept. I dunno how much longer Stevens creek toyota will be open though. Everybody is hurting.

You could also of course DIY and disassemble it your self.

took of my nst pulley today and the shaft was grinding on the pulley. i can see that the bearing inside are broken, ***** are just floating on the bottom, will try to get it covered by the dealer since i still have it under warranty. all i can do is

O5_TRD_tC

u might have to tow it to the dealer

SCIONtific_tC

haha it's sitting at the dealer right now awaiting service warranty approval. figure out that the bearings on the pulley side were shot which led to the pulley grinding and putting metal shavings all over my engine bay. looks like i can't use this pulley anymore.

goodguy889

SCIONtific_tC

alright so it's final dealer won't warranty my s/c because i don't have my receipt of purchase. so with all this headache i'm deciding to remove it all together. does anyone have any recommendations of shops i can take my car to get the s/c uninstalled? also anyone selling an ecu for 2006 auto because i think i'll need one. help me out

goodguy889

might be cheaper to get the new rebuilt shaft, it comes with higher speed rated bearings also.

Doesn't have anything to do with it really, plenty of stock ones go bad. Its not made right in the first place. The bearings are not even rated for 7psi, 9.5psi might make it die quicker, but i bet they will all die sooner or later. Even with upgraded bearings a person who drives really hard will get 2 years max before they need to change out shaft bearings again. Unless someone can make an oil filled chamber for the pulley bearings.

i'm trying to rebuild my s/c and having great difficulties, is there a write up on how to take it apart and put it together? i,m stuck with this 40lb paper weight unless i can get this thing rebuilt.
