supercharger question

Well i went back to the salvage yard to get that supercharger off of that regal, and it was in fact an M90. So i decided im going to clean and rebuild it myself. What would be the best way to do that?because i heard that all they do to rebuil them is replace the bearings. Is that true?

Thanks,
Bryan

you probably just need to replace the couper....but if you have it apart, a bearing change can never hurt...

look at the rotors to make sure the lining is still intact...and you might as well get it ported & polished...

is it an Gen III or a Gen V?

Gen III where could i buy a couper and bearings at?

Intense or ZZP...

man i wasnt looking to spend over $100 on the rebuild though any other ideas?

yes.....steal one...


just not mine....

I think if you just replace the coupler you'll be fine....these things are built to last. That a good cleaning and an SC oil change and you should be sitting good....

what's wrong with your current SC??

??? in the link the bearings and coupler are only like $50.00??

you dont need everything....but to replace some of those bearings your going to need a press....

go thru intense

well i dont have a hydraulic press so what should i buy then? a coupler and what else?

coupler and SC oil...get the modified coupler (the green one)...its stiffer then stock and will last longer...

wat bearings am i supposed to get? the needle bearings or the snout bearings. I need the ones that i can put on without the hydraulic press.

Any idea how many miles on that SC? Bearings have a very long life. I'd bet a new green coupler from ZZP and new fluid will suffice. You're reselling this, right?

yep im selling it thats why i dont want to spend a whole lot on this rebuild so maybe just a coupler would work. I did get a great break on the price because the guys at the salvage yard didnt have a supercharger price in their database, so they charged me the price of an intake manifold, so i got a M90 Gen III supercharger with the throttle body and intake tube for 45 bucks!

Wow, you stole it. No idea on the car's mileage?

Its not worth $75.00....


...I'll pay $95.00 for it right now...no questions asked...you pay shipping.

no idea but a rebuilt M90 Gen III should be okay right. Well heres my new gameplan. The supercharger is in really good shape, but needs cleaned up so im going to spray it with some carb cleaner. clear off any excess grease, and spray it again. Then i am going to buy a ZZP green coupler and replace the coupler. Sound good? Oh and about how many miles do bearings last in a supercharger?

sorry for the double post, but im going to have to decline chicken, im kinda doing this as a project, somethin for fun that i can make profit off of. Not that i dont like the offer, i just want to complete my project.

I was kidding...its worth at least $ 98.00

well if i cleaned it up real nice to get it back to a factory look and changed out the coupler, what would that do for the value?

$110.00 tops....


j/k...good rebuild with a great clean up job (make that thing shine) $ 112.00..

or $450.00 - 600.00 if i wasn't absolutley hammered right now.....

no it was in really good shape when i pulled it, but wow its not to difficult to rebuild a SC for the money they end up being worth. now are you being serious about that price range this time chicken? lol

yep...if its rebuilt good and cleaned up nice....

...but remember.....I'm still hammered.

well does anyone else have an oppinion or are you pretty sure chicken?

I absolutely sure I'm fucking hammered....
