Has anyone used this product to quiet procharger? Hello,
I've always wanted a procharger DISC, but can't stand the whine at idle with the hood closed (at least the ones I've heard on youtube). Has anyone used his product www.b-quiet.com with any success. Car will be 2001 LS1 6M with Weber Racing forged 402. I['ve done a search on this type question and did come across some threads back in '07 where ATI would supposedly play with the lash adjustment in the procharger gears to quiet it down. But this isulating material is the lastest most recent threads I've come across.
thanks
Lamar

you need therapy 
i know for a fact ( i heard the cars) that you can order quite gearsets when ordering your kit that are reall quiet . how quiet?? it was on a c5 and with the hood closed the blower sounded like the powersteering pump when at full lock - and only when standing close to the hood . you couldn't even tell if you were near the rear of the car.

Hey,
thanks for the replys.
-Blnls1/rx7I.... could probably "learn" to deal with the whine at idle over time. The wife is the main culprit. If she's not happy, I'll never hear the end of it. I've tried to find a quiet procharger on the net but to show her but to no avail.
-1dirtyZ...I do need therapy, LOL. Thanks for the info. I thinking once I order the "quiet" gearsets and add the insulation, it will put me right where I need to be and keep the wife happy.
-Jimmy P...You could be right. All I know is when I look on youtube and lsxstreetfire and a few other sites, I can hear "something" whistling/whining.
If you guys or any other people on the board know of anyone who has used the product mentioned in the original post or who has anymore info, please feel free to chime in or PM me.
-Lamar.

B-Quiet is good stuff and cheaper than dynomat. Id just be concerned to see if it:
A) Works
B) Can withstand the Heat
C) Wont cause the retention of too much heat in the engine bay
If you really dont like the whine at idle then either look into say a maggie or turbo setup IMO

Fellas,
Thanks for the very helpful info. I've been steadily combing this site and other for info since I posted this thread.
-618HAWK...That sounds like a winner. I read about that tensioner and the 8 rib pulley. Combined they should do the trick.
-kp...I've heard the F1 etc on the net. They sound like 747s. Definately too much. LOL
-D-Webz...I would agree that any form of supercharging esp. procharger would definately set your car apart from others. I'm older now and prefer the stealthier approach.
-BigBenz....I thought about the Vortech unit and having someone fab an A2A intercooler. If I'm going to get a blower...I'm riding with Procharger all the way.
-98Z28MASS...those are excellent points. I hadn't thought of that. Yep, I stayed up half the night thinking about the turbos too, but I love site of coated LTs coming off the heads.
- BLNLS1/RX7....Dude, you hit the nail on the head!!! At this point, I'd love to send her behind packn,
. I'm not as fortunate to be like Bob at Exotic performance plus, LOL. Your wife is a keeper. In all seriousness, my wife and I are gonna have to come to an agreement that will make us both happy.
-AFASTYZFR1...THAT IS WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR :BOW: THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO. I let the wife see it and she could do nothing but give it the thumbs up. She liked it.
You all have been most helpful. Thanks alot.

My buddy used the Dynamat on his hood and it is heavy enough so that it wouldn't stay open by itself anymore - the weight overpowered the springs. But it was quieter. You could try some directly on the blower, but I'd be concerned about it retaining heat on the self-contained Prochargers.
The way I minimized the whine was to go with the helical-cut gears on the V-2 Vortech SQ (Super Quiet). They are a lot quieter than any straight-cut gear, but Procharger doesn't do any, IIRC.
