Most of the time a supercharger is not replacing anything. You are just adding on extra parts, like a fuel pump, larger fuel injectors, brackets, etc.

However with roots or twin screw type superchargers you actually are replacing the whole top of the manifold, since the supercharger bolts on top of their own manifold.

1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?

It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

How to fix a supercharger with rattling in snout of supercharger is there a diagram?

If your supercharger is an Eaton type supercharger and it is making noise that is an early indication that the supercharger might need a rebuild. A lot of times the noise is actually coming from a little coupler that is located in the inside of the supercharger. This coupler has 6 holes in it and over time these rounded holes will wear out and become an oval shape. Once it becomes oval shape the supercharger will start to make a rattle sound. If left untreated the rattle will lead to the bearings going bad and then the seals. You will then need to get a complete rebuilt done on the supercharger. The coupler is easy to replace. You basically have to take the supercharger noise off with the 6 bolts that holds it and then once the two ends pull a part the coupler will be sitting right there. Just slide the coupler off of the pins and replace it. Then slide the two ends together and bolt it back up. You will also need to refill the supercharger with oil.

2003 xterra with a supercharger and Nissan told me i should replace it what do you think?

I think if it is not leaking oil yet, you should take it apart to see if the coupler is bad. If the coupler is bad, it is just a $34.00 part and only takes around 1 hour to replace it. Now, if your supercharger is bad, the best thing to do is to source out a rebuilt one.


Leak on a 2001 grandprix gtp right at the end of the supercharger leaking from the bolt that connects the pulley to the supercharger what is the problem?

That is a major sign that the supercharger is going bad and will need a rebuild. Basically the seal is leaking from the front nose cone. The seal usually leaks when the bearings have gone bad. The two best options will to replace the front nose cone, or get a rebuilt supercharger. Once the oil starts to leak the bearings will have no oil and it will soon fail on you.


Do you need to replace a supercharger belt on a 1998 regal gs?

It's just like any other multiribbed belt. Replace it when it's dried out and is cracking. Otherwise there is no scheduled maintenance interval.
