Default Procharger Belt Issues? Here's a fix: AAM Supercharger Brace

The ATI Procharger supercharger was one of the earliest forced induction kits available for the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35. Over the last couple of years we've encountered a minor, but consistent, flaw in the design of the ATI Procharger unit. When the pulleys are upgraded, additional stress is placed on the supercharger’s main bracket, causing it to flex. The angle of this flex causes the main belt to shift on the cog pulley under load. The end result of these actions is more rapid wear of the supercharger main belt, premature wear on the kits jackshaft assembly, and a loss of supercharger power and efficiency.

The AAM Competition Supercharger Flex Brace is the solution to this problem. Preliminary testing has show the AAM Comp Supercharger Flex Brace significantly reduces this flex and helps maintain belt longevity and supercharger power output. Constructed from the highest quality billet aluminum, the AAM Competition Supercharger Flex Brace can be used with Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 vehicles equipped with an ATI Procharger unit.

Note: A properly functioning jackshaft bearing greatly increases the effectiveness of the AAM Supercharger Brace. We will be working with Procharger to provide the best possible pricing for new jackshaft assemblies for those whose bearings have prematurely worn or those who have old units which are in need of fresh components.

For further information and pricing, feel free to give us a call at the shop, PM me or e-mail me at ClintonM@alteredatmosphere.com or Sales@alteredatmosphere.com

Recommended install time: 3 hours

So far i ran into some difficulties.. With no instructions/wrong bolt length and missing bolts.. Trying to work them out with/ AAM will keep u posted..

Looks like after some pre install bolting up.. This is going to be harder than anticipated(may have to pull the entire SC off)... AAM is going to overnight the right bolts hopefully and maybe email me good instructions..

AAM has already sent me two sets of bolts overnighted, (one set was the wrong length so im waiting on another set).. So I should be getting them tomorrow overnighted with instructions.. So far AAM has been really good with customer service and trying to make the mistake on bolts right...
