Anyone out there with this problem & have you found a solution?!

 

Nasty

 

Well that's new, and no I don't think anyone else has had this problem (or at least, no one has reported it on here).

Contact KW, they'll get you straightened out. I don't think this is an issue you'll see again, provided everything is put together correctly.

Did you install the kit, or did a shop? If you did, did you torque things properly? If a shop, are they trustworthy that they torqued things properly?

 

6 bolts snapped like that? Did the compressor seize or something?

 

Habitforming still defending the indefensible



Yeah, but, John, if The Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists. ...

 

sorry to hear. surprised to see all 6 snap. I think a lot of the bolts in this kit need to be upgraded. I already have titanium bolts w/ safety wire for the vtec solenoid

 

No belt slip = things eventually stressed and breaking.

Ever wonder why none of the main & accessory belts are cogged on your engine from the factory?

 

Damn, that must have been some serious force on it.

I'm starting to think there is/was a serious quality breakdown for whoever Kraftwerks uses as their fastener supplier.

 

thats new... geez... sorry to hear this. Did this happen under very hard load? thats crazy...

 

I saw one other person had the bolts snapped but his hub adapter bolt also snapped as well. My hub is fine, i believed it might be because the belt was too tight? I installed it correctly with the correct torque specs. It all happened while driving
