I'd like to get some info on people who have a d-1 procharger 8-rib set-up with approximatley 8 pounds of boost.. Have any of you encountered any significate noise such as a rattling belt. The reason I ask is because I really have'nt heard any problems with the new 8 rib set-up as I used to with the 6 rib. The delima is: should I get a SDCE tensioner to eliminate any type of noise which was common with the the 6 rib. I spoke to Bob, from EPP who will be installing my d-1 and he advised me that the noise is minimal if any, but I'd like to get some other opinions from people who have the 8 rib set-up.. Any replys greatly appreciated...

Thanks

 

you can trust bob.... if he installs it, it will be right.

 

Trust me, I trust him I live in El Paso, Texas and will be shipping my car to Indiana solely because I don't trust anyone else w/my car.....

 

the 6 rib and 8 rib regular tensioner rattle the same, had them both.. SDCE rattles less but its only at idle, the rattle never really bothered me though and some head units are noisier then others..

 

I have a 04 corvette convertible, that Bob just put a D-1 on and I can't even hear it unless I'm getting on it or just just let off then I hear the waste gate. It looks great and works even better. I have Kook's long tube headers and hi flow cat's and a corsa catback pace car exhaust. Sound's sweet.

 

Well, I guess I'll have to cross my fingers and hope my head unit isn't one that rattles to much...frceded98, advised me that he had some luck w/his tensioner, which eliminated all of his noise. He also said the only thing you could hear was a sweet whistle, which is what I want...

 

i guess you do trust him

 

Totally off topic, but I just noticed my post number.. Ha-ha

 

Never mind it's gone...

 

I don't think the sound from the ProCharger will be annoying for you at all. Bob

 

I had a 6 rib setup before and i was told by procharger that the rattling noise was just the oil slinger inside the head unit. It only did it at idle also. They told me it was nothing to worry about.

 

Even with the SDCE set up and tru tech bracket I still have a slight rattle. Not bad. It goes away when I mash the pedal .
