Question Supercharger Clutch Cable Replacement

Hi Guys,

recently installed a 65mm Eurocharged Pulley and Tune. It was glorious. All of a sudden it felt like I was down to 115 HP and like the SC was not engaging. It happened after a while of driving around so I did the forum search and checked. IC Pump or AIT Sensor. AIT Sensor is reading fine and the IC Pump issue should be that the car drives well when it is cold. It does not. Hot and cold car makes no difference. Always the same lack of power.

Now I did a thing while I was installing the pulley because I was missing a tool and had to wait until the next day. I left the engine cover loose on top of the engine and when I moved the car from the driveway back into the garage the SC flywheel kind of scraped / melted a little plastic. That is the white border that you can see around the flywheel. I realize now that melted plastic may have created a sharp edge that could have damaged the wire leading into the SC. The wire looks to be in terrible shape to begin with. Is there a way to replace it? I already disconnected the connector for the picture.

Thanks in advance!

I also double checked the spacing between the magnetic disc and the pulley and made sure it was within the recommended tolerance. That is fine, too, now. Still issues. What concerns me more is that cable. If anyone knows how to replace that or has any smart ideas... much appreciated.

I have a question? What is the recommended spacing. I hear 0.38mm- 0.45mm? I have a gap in between mine that is exactly 1/16 of an inch.

I think the OEM clutch spacing is .012” to .016”. The after market ones originally did not use real spring material and had instructions to adjust it as it it was used. Not using real spring material caused them to fail and do some nasty damage.
