Yes. Flywheel bolts, transmission bell housing bolts. I'm going to remove my bumper and check the heat exchanger because I remember that was a very tight fit.

Ok well keep us posted

Heat exchanger banging around? How about the clearance from the bottom of the blower or aftercooler to cross member? Worn engine mounts or instillation misalignment can cause some interference issues with the blower. Make sure everything is isolated in the engine bay and not hitting anything as it may when accelerating or going over bumps. The motor shifts in these scenarios and therefore so does everything connected to it, ie Supercharger.

that seriously sounds like clutch buzz to me. like the worst case ever. but id get an expert opininion

This (blower-crossmember clearance.)

Same problem I had, and it sounded just like the posted videos.

Ok I just tried shoving a rubber heater hose under the blower and initial impression after driving is the noise is gone.

I want to double check tomorrow morning again when cold.

If it is indeed the blower/crossmember what do I need to do to fix it for good? Loosen the bolts that connect the s/c bracket to the motor and realign?

Thanks for all the input!

It can be one thing or a culmination of a few things. Stock motor mounts compress with high mileage, reducing clearance. In this case replacing the motor mounts would be the fix. Unless you have 150k+ miles I tend to find its not that as much as it is a simple fact of clocking the blower slightly, helping to add clearance/and or coupler re adjustment. Unless the rubber bushings on the mount plate are total shit and worn out, your not going to do much by playing with this, the bolts want to thread in one place, there isn't much room for adjustment/alignment there. Check the blower alignment on the bottom and clock it better if needed as well as adjust the couplers to align the after cooler angle better as well if needed.

The mounts are boring into the bracket on my set up. I bought some flat-washers with the exact same inner and outer diameters and was able to use them to reposition the bracket. It's something I have to keep an eye on, but it's been holding up quite well for about year or so now.

Can you provide some pictures I'm having a hard time picturing your setup.

Yeah sorry, picture's worth a thousand words. You said you have a Novi, so I'm assuming you have the same Comptech hardware?


I have a flat washer on the front side of each of the two upper mounting bolts...


And another flat washer on the back side of the bottom mounting bolt...


I didn't do anything special with the mount located on the intake plenum side as it doesn't show any major signs of wear.

Hope this helps.
