lmao
why hate on honda?

 

My s/c tc in making a weird noise! it is rattling really bad and loud has anyones exprerienced this?

 

i need the same info... please help!!!
getting a loud rattle from the pulley side of the charger so im thinking that the bearing from that side is going bad.

 

Try looking up bearings in the phone book. I did that a month ago and found several places in my area that have bearings, but haven't actually asked if they had the ones that are needed for the rebuild. I'll check in a week or so though.

 

hey scott lemme know if you find some :D

 

I'll order a couple sets if I find them. Only cuz I like you. And because you let Ptuning do some testing on your car.

 

haha thanks

 

so i found a place that has the 6003 bearing but they are not speed rated at 65000rpm.. the guy said that it must be a special made item . the one he carries are speed rated at 45000rpm so i didn't pick them up.

 

# IS90099-10091 – Pulley Bearings that are better than the "TRD" ones. These are the ones i have and they are superb. You can find these at autozone

 

i went to 2 autozone,pepboys, and they don't have it.i gave then the same part # and they looked at me like i was crazy.

 

I've heard several people out west say "check your local autoparts store" or Autozone. Seems none of the autoparts stores on the east coast carry them.

 

Are you close to Haupauge ? there is a place Kaman Industrial that sells the skf 6205 bearings and viton seals they can also get you the speed rated nachi thrust bearings or other brand thrust bearings. The phone number is (631) 436-5090 I belive you need 4 skf 6205rs bearings (the rs is for rubber seal) for the shaft along with a Viton seal I am not sure if you need a single or double lip though.

After talking to 2 people there, they told me that the skf bearings are very good bearings and the only reason why they could be going bad so soon is due to not being aligned properly. Which makes sense, the only other thing I could think of being an issue is cold weather which causes the bearings to sit loosely on the shaft for a short amount of time (causing some rattling) until they heat up after start up. Which that brief movement could cause additional stress on the bearing aswell.

 

im located in queens NY and i will call to get the address you listed. thanks for the help!

 

They ship and since you are so close you probably would get them next day.

 

BTW... any news on the "new" reflash if there is one out there?

 

i know they found an updated reflash and updated mine when i was in for service time before last. car definitely drives better since. it also completely got rid of the dead travel space on the throttle.
i drove a new stock 2008 tC and was shocked at how much dead travel there is before the car actually does anything, i thought the new ones were supposed to have gotten rid of it by now.

 

quick question.......

what are the chances that TRD will reduce the price of the 07-08 supercharger to 1900 in the near future?

and what makes the 1000 dollar difference between the two?

and do 07-08s make more power supercharged then 05-06?

 

ok.. so i called this place and they said they dont carry a 65000K rpm rated bearing. the guy was really nice and called Nachi for me and they said they dont have that speed rating also. lol... i feel like im doing something wrong here. seems like everyone but i can get these parts.

 

You're not the only one that can't seem to find the right bearings. I'm going to call around my area to see what they come up with. It would really help if someone that has actually found the "holy grail" and shared some info other than "Check your local autoparts store" that don't carry them.

 

we found the ones i have at autozone around july of this year
