Guys this fell off after my 3rd launch at the rack and need to know what it is???? track guy and a buddy of mine said it is part of the A/c pulley maybe??

Anywho it ran fine after the track and today wel at night my car starting making some noises.......

First the s/c belt is really loose its squeeling at startup and every now and then it will squeel. this was happening like 3 days prior to the track day, and today it got worse w/ the noise. anywho tonight after i started the car in the evening i did a highway run then,it was making noises like something was hitting! at first i thought motor knock? or the blower? engine temp was fine, blower sounded fine. so i started going up in the bands and in random rpms it would make a loud clicking/hitting sound fast, then stop in other rpms . each rev it did it different rpms. some like 800 rpm other 5500 rpms.... so im assuming its NOT motor knock? the s/c belt could easily be twisted and the a/c belt in back was about at least 2 inches in flex.. could the pulley be hiting something? please some info? im scared lol. I'm assuming worst case the motor blew but it runs and goes fine, just the noise

 

that could be part of the A/c clutch......WoW

 

could it be the cause of the noise? i just want some relief the motor aint gone lol... anyone tell me symptons of a blown motor loL?

 

there are a number of signs, oil loss, tap/knock sound, missing idle

I don't want you to run the motor to troubleshoot it until you find out what is up with the accessory drive system.

 

Are you sure that came off your car? Just wondering...

 

Thats part of the AC compressor pulley system without a doubt.

 

yap , as soon as i finished the pass on the way back to grab my slip the guy said " the tech said you lost something on the track" I drove back to see what it was and he handed it to me saying it came off my car. so yes i assume its mine. I'm just freaking out here lol, my gf be so pissed along with my family if i popped the motor this early im gonna get some oil 2mrw and tighten the belts up and see if that helps. then take it to a mech to check out eh acc drive system. any other opinions?

 

is it possible that pulley or part of that system is hitting something or hitting the motor to make that loud noise? sounds like something cracked

 

a compression gauge will give you peace of mind.

 

I sincerely doubt you popped the motor but I can't believe you have been driving with a piece of your AC clutch system detached from your car.

 

I can't understand why you would run your car with parts falling off of it you pumped how many $$$ into it to make it fast then drive it for days with parts falling off of it not too swift if you ask me. GET IT FIXED

 

I agree I can't believe you are driving around knowing something fell off and not get it looked at, instead you keep driving and guessing as to what it might be, some people should stick to bicycles.

 

LOL.......this thread!!!!

i'm bleeding...should i goto the doctor?

 

not if it's that time of the month

 

LOL.......that's when u tell her your too busy to come over!!!!!!

 

Interesting, how the heck did the AC pulley just fall off?

 

lol i have no clue either synth... wierdest thing. only thing i can assume is the belts were all to loose and the wobble/vibrations caused it to fall off?

 

picture of it

who knows why it fell off, that AC pulley doesn't really see any extra stress from the vortech or anything. Maybe it just wasn't tightened well and running to redline a bunch loosened it up

is it just the faceplate of the pulley? weird

 

have no clue what is it, im gonna make a video today and post, then get under there and see what i can find out.

 

well it's obviously the AC
