Anyone here handy with Supercharger rebuilds?
Anyone here handy with Supercharger rebuilds?

Anybody know anybody that knows anybody that might be able to do this if I bung them a few?
I'm considering getting my S/C rebuilt as the seals ideally need replacing and some of the bearings are a tad noisy. I can pick up a complete rebuild kit from the USA for about £200, but pulling the charger apart and sliding pulleys/bearings on and off shafts with really tight tolerances is going to be difficult without access to some decent tools.

I dare say one of the more mechanically minded members will be able to assist you with this though Jim.

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:I was thinking of dong my TTE one before fitting, as it has been "rested" for a while. Though was unsure about doing it myself, and didn't really know if it needed doing or not!

Hoping so. Otherwise my hand might be forced into getting a bigger blower:whistling:

Yeah, cos your car is nowhere near powerful enough with that puny little one!

All about the power band man....
(I want a taller, longer, bigger one) :whistling:
But seriously I'd be more than happy with a rebuild of my one. Especially as I can get higher rated bearings so I can spin the charger faster meaning I can hit peak boost lower down the RPM range, and then cap it off with a bypass valve until I go fully forged internals.

To think I remember Jim once said that he was "allowed to spend on the car until the baby came along"
