supercharger clutch

Postby Bast4rd » Mon Nov 01, 2004 7:00 pm

hey people i have a standard ae92 levin gtz, AFM.

wondering whether or not i should be able to both hear and feel the clutch on the supercharger engaging?
mainly does it in first but sometimes second too and moreso when i stab at the accelerator.
is this normal?

If you have the window down and radio off you will hear it but if you hear it over everything it probably needs shimming to make it quieter which is alot of work.
As long as it doesnt slip(which is unlikely) i wouldnt worry about it.

I could hear and feel mine coming on, little quiet chirp sometimes when the clutch kicked in. Get a full 2.5 exhaust system with single resonator and then you'll hear when it comes on :D

Mine does this as well, and its loudest when the car is cold. Kinda annoying but what are ya gonna do. Dont think you have anything to worry bout, mines done it since the day ive had it
