#6. What additonal maintaince will be needed with a supercharger?

Better keep an eye on your tires! Honestly, none. You will want to make sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape at all times but you should be doing this anyway! Powerdyne blowers contain 4 bearing packs and a drive belt. Typically these last for about 55Kmiles. At that time Powerdyne suggests a rebuild of the blower. I can rebuild the headunit for you with upgraded bearings and a full Kevlar GATES belt for about $250. After the upgrade the belt shouldn't need replacing for about 75K miles and the bearings should never need replacing again. Compare $250 every 50K miles to the cost of additonal oil changes, synthetic oil, octane boosters, etc that a turbo requires and it's VERY reasonable.



have you read my big write-up yet??? answers a LOT of questions.

 

So money in over time seems to have a lot to do wiht it, and I guess thats one reson for being more of an everyday driver. So any recent up dates on the progress of the SC and do you have any idea of when you think or hope to be finished?

 

still waiting to get stuff back from DaveB...hoping he'll make these two small changes real soon so I can try everything again. If the belt doesn't slip anymore I'll have the charge piping bent up and I'll get with Juan (from HiBoost) and we'll start tuning this thing.
