is this a surge or what ?
 

hi everyone !
so i have my novi 1000 with a front mounted setup. and it has an HKS bov on it. i got it like that, i didn't do it myself !

anyway, i'm hearing some wired sound coming from the supercharger and it looks like it's not taking air properly !

here is a video i took of it !

i did a little search and all i could understand is that it might be a compressor surge because of the HKS bov
and i'm supposed to get something called "bypass valve" because that's the best for supercharges !

if that's the case from where can i get a good bypass valve ?

if not, what do you guys think is the problem ?
any ideas ?

thanks !

Bump !

sounds like the bearing is on its way out

Seems like a boost leak

so what should i do ?? :(

Anybody any other ideas or suggestions ?

Ditch the FMIC setup and find an aftercooler setup for the car. You'll make more power and be more reliable.

Not sure what that sound is...can you grab the end of the impeller shaft and see if it has any play? It very well could be a bearing saying good bye. If that is the case you can rebuild it or have someone else do it... Paxton no longer services the nv1000, they want you to buy a newer model. 928motorsports.com and superchargerrebuild.com both will do the deed for you...

with the fmic I think most people run a bov, vs the bypass valve that is stock on most of the kits that use an aftercooler. I don't know if a bad bov would cause surge, someone will jump in and school both of us.

when the the car is off the impeller shaft dose not move or anything, how can i know if it's a bearing going out ??
and how much you guys think it would cost to rebuild it ?
