I dont want receive an old design. This is my problem. And i dont want change the isolator on a new piece which come from the vendor.

I understand your purposes jb since one year. You posted your answers also since one year, but you to, you never give an answer, which helped me know i order the redesigned supercharger or not

I know my self what i can do and what i cant do.

Replacing the isolator is easy. If you dont have mechanical expertise yourself then you can take it to a workshop and show them the threads/videos from youtube on how to tackle the job. It should take anywhere from 2-3 hours to do it.

Or you can call your friends and try it out yourself over the weekend

Then you know what you have Easy peezy

jfyi: jsd has been asking this same question for a year. Also, there will be no pulley, possibly no snout, as he was asking about a supercharger purchase (not on an installed Z).

It will be easier to change since it is not installed in the car if it does come with the snout.

Why would it be easier to change with the snout on? If the sc arrives with the snout off...there is the isolator, effectively saving the step of snout removal.

Anywho, I think he's trolling. Who has a blown sc on their Z and is still asking questions about an isolator 1 year later?

I just meant if it did arrive with the snout installed already.

My supercharger finally gave up the ghost at just over 36,000
Miles and five seasons of Autocross , track days and hillclimbs. It was replaced and I resumed all activity. No big deal.

Did you replace it with an Eaton or another brand?

finally i changed my sc. hope this new one will be queit

checked the shaft to, after 32000 km. it looks really bad and i had a lot of oil in the sc to. My Catch can is installed since the car has 5000 km.

buy it myself with the hold assembly, let it ship to switzerland for almost 400 dollar and let it install here.
maybe this will explain to some guys, why i was talking so long time about the sc replacement or just the changement of the coupler. i prefere to do it once and right. the hold import of the sc and the work cost me almost 6000 dollar.
The Mechanic, which have some lot of experience with us cars and have done the work. it was his first sc replacement on a newer car and he took 8 hours for it. it took long time, to find some good mechanic

Thanks to all guys, which try to help me and understood me.

Was the new isolator solid ? I just replaced mine also,Mine zl1 had 5000 km. But I only bought a solid isolator. And no rattling after I changed it out.

jds, I understand and sympathize with your need to be sure. The $400 for shipping is reason enough. You must really love that ZL1!

i am not sure, which isolater is installednow in the new sc. the new sc has the latest partnumber from gm.
what i experienced from the old sc when we deinstall the snou to check the shaft and the isolator, was the shaft in the sc, which is conflated with the spring isolator. this shaft had a big bearing play.

Hey guys , so even if I buy a 2012 privately today with no warrantee , GM will still repair/replace the Sc if it develops an issue?

Thanks

Yes, provided it is the original sc and it is not a salvage title.
