another boosted 3400 thread
Picked up the new toys yesterday:
 She needs some new thrust bearings, figured might as well start a thread. It appears the only place to get the bearings is here: http://www.superchargerrebuild.com/?page_id=6 Should i get the rebuild kit with mechanical seals or ptfe/viton seals? |
Good luck with the rebuild! Man I miss my boost!!!
|
I emailed and this is what i got back:

Where you get that swag @ homie?

Contact the guys at 928motorsports.com They have anything you need to rebuild any part of your charger man.... they are freakin' awesome to deal with. That's who hooked me up

Never......again...... |

I did, the girl on the phone told me they only sell the parts for a v1 or a v2... |
Something wrong there dude. They told me to contact them for anything I needed. I got my seal and bearing from them!
|
Hmm ill call them again and see what happens.
So in theory is there any possible way to dial in the tune with a supercharger so good that you get better fuel economy? or is it always going to be worse no matter what because of the pulley and everything sucking down power? |

Only as far as it is possible to increase mileage over stock on a tune without the SC. In other words, tune it for better mileage while it is stock first. The SC will then decrease mileage when installed, but you may get a net gain. Not likely, though. |
If it was a turbo could it be done? Im just thinking all these new little boosted eco shitboxes getting 30+mpg with turbos and whatnot, does boost allow you to get more energy per fuel molecurle or something?

Nope, just more (air + fuel) per unit of time |
Can i use this for the oil feed & return??

^someone has done their homework.

Its just unclear whether or not it will work properly.... if the set screws he is talking about function as an inlet and outlet it should create a loop that would feed and return the oil correct? The way im imaginining it it would be the same plumbing as if you were using a sandwich adapter for an oil cooler, except instead of an oil cooler its a supercharger... |

your talking to a noob when it comes this in depth :biggrin: I leave things like that for people like chris (C2) to take care of. |
Why would you return oil to the filter your taking it from... Just return to the oil pan and get a sandwich plate and feed from it.. People have been doing it for years and theres a reason for that... It works better than anything else.
But ive been on the road all day so maybe I read your question wrong |

Because im trying to think outside the box and work smarter not harder. There are oil sandwich plates designed to create a loop, as opposed to just adding an accessory fitting. My question is, what happens to the supercharger when the oil is pumped through it like this, instead of just trickled on top and gravity drained from the bottom. This would basically just supply a higher volume of oil than what "people have been doing for years" but is that a good thing or a bad thing?  |
I dont know much about superchargers but with turbos to much oil fives you blowby and can cause coking of the bearing after time
|
I just looked at the inlet on the vortech its really small... the oil wouldn't be able to make it through the supercharger fast enough to not starve the engine of oil... nevermind. Even if the inlet on the super could be drilled out, and even if the additional pressure didnt push oil into the inducer, it probably would still restrict the oil from getting to the engine...
