Default Supercharger maintenance

How often should you replace the belts and pulleys on a JRSC if its at 6psi? What other type of maintenance is required for just the supercharger? Thanks.

Belts last me about 10,000-15,000 miles at 11psi. Never heard of replacing pulleys though.No other maintainance required unless you over boost and score the charger blades. Some people replace the bearings after awhile if needed.

I only killed a pulley when my AC tensioner broke off and took the crank pulley and belts with it while on the freeway going about 85mph.

Lesson: Don't let monkeys overtighten your ac tensioner

the kit i used to have on my car was used for over 2 years, i had to preplace the blower belt once cause it broke off in the middle of a run at the track (THAT was embarasing...), and the tensioner pully for the alternator had a bad bearing which took a dump on it self as well....heh at least i had enough battery power to get home, and replace the bearing.

and my suspision for the ac tensioner was that i overtightend also.

but besides those 2 things i NEVER touched it as far as maintenance, and i beet the **** out of it daily.
