I have the Blitz xA/xB supercharger retrofited into my yaris.... well the problem is the idler pulley(tensioner pulley) is worned off and making a ticking noise.

I contacted the place i brought my supercharger from (www.horsepowerfreaks.com) and they totally sucked, didn't reply my e-mail until my 5th try and told me it only comes in a KIT.

So i try contact Blitz USA, they refuse to deal with retails. And i was told to contact their authorize dealers which i could find in their website.

Anyway, i e-mailed all their dealers and i received a bunch of "..........it only comes in a KIT....."

Just wondering any of u might know where i can get a replacement or which pulley from other cars could fit on this engine ?
I tried my location parts store they are so not willing to help, i must provide a make and year to get a part lol

For those who are planning to get the blitz supercharger, i will say consider a brand u get better support or u know there's no trouble for replacement parts.

Thank for your time, and your help is appreciated.

 

That sux. You pay that much for a kit, then can't get replacement parts to sevice it. Strange.....
Someone must have parts for these kits somewhere. Try taking the part to a napa and let them match it up with a new piece. Good luck.

 

check out some of the other companies that make the superchargers for the xA/xB and see if the parts are interchangeable, that might just be a part that is generic...

 

^^^Good idea Dane. I should have thought of that.

 

haha i do my best thinking while sleep deprived

 

I'm the same way. I come up with cool mods during the wee hours of the morning.

 

What do you mean "worn off"? Is the pulley itself bad or just the mounting bolt? I have the Greddy supercharger and the tension pulley bolt sheared on me. It has a threaded hole on the bolt head so I couldn't do a generic replacement. I ended up taking it to a machine shop and having them make a new custom bolt, not the cheapest method but faster. I too bought from an unauthorized dealer and got the kit speech. Greddy direct said they could replace component parts but needed to order from Japan, so it would be like 3 months. Try Blitz UK.

email would probably be cheaper than calling, and you wouldn't have to deal with the time difference.
