i posted this in the l61 section but then realized i'd probably get more help here.

Bought a box of parts a month or so ago for $200 shipped. Included in the box was a supercharger(the main reason i bought the box). Got the chance a couple weeks ago to tear it down and check it out but i know very little about superchargers as i've never had one.

When I took off the snout the coupler fell out.


More signs off it being torn apart :S

the coupler,looked fine but i swapped it out anyway



coupler seems to fit tightly. no play.




From what i understand(which isn't much yet) these are the needler bearing? they were my biggest fear as i don't know how i could get them out around here




The housing seemed fine, some very very light scratches and a bit of dirt. seemed just normal to me.





The blades had some light scoring in them,but i don't see anything bad. I assume this is normal as well?

All in all i don't see anything that i woould consider bad about any of that. But i'm by no means an expert.
My plans as of right now are getting a rebuild kit from zzp for the sc, i'll get the needler bearings as well and hope i don't need them.

Anybody who knows something about superchargers see anything i should be concerned about?

 

Looks identical to mine when I pulled it apart

 

excellent, good to know. the guy i bought it off said it was "running rough". i replaced the coupler but i think i'll rebuild the snout just to be safe.

 

looks fine, excellent purchase
