ProCharger P1SC Shaft Play?

DiZzyBonne · October 23rd, 2009, 04:18 AM

What should I look at when inspecting a used P1SC? I know I should check for shaft play, is ANY amount normal, even small, whether it's when pushing/pulling or if moving it side-to-side? What else should I check for? The used kit I'm checking out tomorrow also includes 42# injectors, mounting accessories, tubing, and a Core 3 air-to-air intercooler. Anything I should look for on that? Thanks!

[EDIT]

From my understanding, in/out shaft play is BAD, just not sure how much, but I believe it shouldn't move at all. Side-to-side shaft play is fine as long as it's not a lot and the blades aren't scraping. Is this correct? Can somebody answer my other questions as well? Thanks!

Mine was freshly refurbished from ATI....so I never really checked the "shaft play." However, imo, I would make sure there is none. That thing spins at such a high rev that any wobble on the pulley side or the blade side could cause the belt to slip off or something else come loose and fuck up the charger. Just my $.02.

That is for turbos. My old S/C after 9 years of running had no shaft play anywhere and I don't think any should any way in out or side to side. you should look in the intercooler and the in side of the S/C and the pipes for oil to see if a seal is starting to leak. Look at the impeller of the S/C for chips or nicks like some thing blew through it.
