Supercharger Rattle?

[Fuji4]

Check out these burned gears versus the new one. I guess redlining it with all the boost bypassing the engine overheated the thing.


also Chris at velocity ap sent me this technical bulletin jaguar released on this exact issue with the set screw.
Interesting.

Ouch. And your Indy left the screw out?

Take him a 6 pack and have a chat.

Yeah like many here i am guessing I rely on a general indy mechanic who works on all kinds of cars and is great at routine maintenance but is out of his depth on specialized stuff like transmissions superchargers and other items. I know this and am generally ok with the trade off. He backed out the set screw while looking for the oil drain plug ( which is buried on the top back of the unit under the lid of the engine compartment). Most of them are in the snout in the older m112s. Anyway he put it back in but not all the way down to where it was before because it was hitting something ( needed to pull the actuator and realign it ).
so yeah I will chat with him but I also realize I am asking him to do stuff he does not normally do.

Yikes. All this extra complexity for less power and a 1 MPG gain...Is it possible to marry a 5.0L to the new 8 speed?

That ideology really takes off when you consider and electric car.

Ok here’s the estimate in the rebuild. It’s pricey but I need the car...

I know that your mechanic put a lot of work into it, but the company that provided your snout has a rebuilt supercharger for 1200 on eBay...depending on how quick you need it. May be worth it to shoot them an email if all of the work on this invoice has already been done.

Didn't the 2013 FFRR have the 5.0 with the 8 speed ?

So, do you think your tune contributed to this? Or just that the failure happened and the extra boost certainly didn't help ?
