-
The unit is fully disassembled and
all parts checked for wear, the case is thoroughly inspected for
rotor rub.
-
Front drive is completely disassembled. The shaft is checked for
straightness, all bearings and seals are replaced.
-
Front drive coupler is inspected for wear- Replaced if necessary.
-
Front rotor drive plate bearings- Measured for wear (replace if
necessary)
-
Rotors are then phased to corrected position and assembled.
-
Rotors are inspected for point wear and flaking, if your rotors are
black they are Teflon coated, the wear on these are not accessible
to flaking. If you have painted rotors that are gray and flaking we
recommend stripping the rotors which eliminates any chance of
further damage done from deteriorating finish.
-
The supercharger case is completely inspected for rotor rub. The rub
is from contact of the rotor during rotation. This is always evident
and more prominent if rotor speeds were increased from smaller
pulleys. These areas are marked for added clearance and machined to
eliminate all rubbing. In addition to obvious wear issues, contact of rotors on a case will cause heat build up.
-
Rear case bearings are inspected and greased, replaced if needed.
-
All parts are high pressured washed at temp of 190 degrees for
30 minutes to ensure all components are absolutely clean.
-
Reassembly
then takes place ensuring all bearing press and tolerances are
triple checked and torque set to factory specks.
-
Supercharger oil is added and all other lubricants are fully
synthetic and Hi heat tolerant.
-
The outside of your supercharger case is inspected for paint
imperfections and touched up if needed.
-
The by-pass valve is installed and calibrated for correct
boost-charge and climb.
If your valve is broken we can most often fix these at a small cost,
replacements are available.
-
At time of rebuilding we can install a optional size pulley for
increased boost we have many sizes available.
-
Porting your supercharger is an option that will increase the
efficiency of your blower, adds boost in many cases, and Lowers
inlet air temps.
-
Porting the blower also increases your HP. The exact
amount of power gain is based on many factors. Some of the
more important factors are your engine displacement, pulley
size, headers/exhaust combination, ignition and plugs and
the quality of your tune.
For example, a properly tuned 03' Cobra with a reasonable choice
of exhaust and pulley could improve as much as 50 HP (maybe
more). However this same car with fouled out plugs and/or
improperly gapped plugs may only gain half the HP.
Basically the quality and combination of modifications will
either amplify the effect of the ported blower or tend to mute
it's effect.
-
Also, please
keep in mind that not all engines are equal. A Mini-Cooper
motor simply does not have the capacity of air flow that a Cobra
motor has. For instance, if you start with 150 HP and gain
of 15 HP from your ported blower, that is the same percentage
gain as a 400 HP engine gaining 40 HP.
