Miller Time Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anyone, anyone? Before I take the plunge on a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 here is an already rebuilt S/C, but it seems pretty pricey. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-Mille...1QQcmdZViewItem However, here is a used S/C that the seller claims is in fine workinf condition for only 200 dollars. I generally see very few bids on these so at 200 dollars its worth a shot, even if you have to rebuild. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1997-MAZDA-...1QQcmdZViewItem Addtionally, this may be the time to test if a mercedes AMG s/c would work, providing added boost. It was an old concept idea that was scraped, but if your going to have it out anyway... It would require cutting some things off the side, however, without knowing the exact layout of the 2.3 and how its placed it may or may not fit. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AMG-Superch...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I wouldn't even consider the used one. The seller has a total of 0 feedback, and no detailed pics. And on that rebuilt one there will be a lot of duty, and since they ship with UPS, there will be an astronomical brokerage fee too. This will probably be the cheapest route for you to take: http://www.canadiansupercharger.com/mazda_supercharger.html Before buying you could ask them if they'll take the $1800USD instead of the CAD price and save yourself $100.

Super S 69 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Miller go with PSE its the best choice cause some companies that do rebuilds only rebuild half of it PSE guts the whole thing. Save your money and do it. I went that route and no problems ever since. But i thank everyone @ MAZDAWORLD FOR THERE HELP AND SUPPORT AND THE CHOICE I MADE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excluesiveonez Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 the mercedes sc was done by some guy in queens... i never met him but spoke w him a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Thanks for all the suggestions guys. There's something funny going on. Wet plugs were pulled but the car's running great (just picked it up). More investigation needed. We'll see how she starts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I remember the thread, but I was pretty sure we called BS since he never supplied pics and then vanished. If the car is running great, not smoking, and your not getting any CEL then I would certainly investigate this further. If the S/C is going bad you will have smoke, no if's and or butts about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 yaaa.pse is the way to go. btw...30 seconds during startup...whitish smoke is blowing and then goes away. not even 30 seconds like...10 seconds...do i need to be worried?

mts Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 First of all... was it Mazda that said it was duff? For I have experienced the failed S/C first hand... and will gladly give you a second opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 When I start my car it never smokes, except if its cold and there is the normal smoke that all cars produce at certain temps. I do know that if you rev the engine within the first 30seconds it will smoke, but again thats most cars and mine has done it from day one, so I never do it. It should be a much thicker smoke if its going bad. Just wondering, but how hard is it to rebuild a s/c. Mine is in perfect condition, but in 30 years or so if it does go bad it would be hard to find a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Fucking hard. Are you referring to rebuilding the unit, or finding a miller-cycle s/c in 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I was referring to rebuilding, but finding one in 30 years will cause some problems too. Funny that you're finally agreeing that the s/c is shit, although inadvertently, you're still agreeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the answer is yes unbolting stuff that has never been moved in 30 is gonna break. But no car lasts 30 yrs only if your restore it.

Miller Time Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 if my supercharger can last 12 years and 295000 miles...urs will last longer than u. The longevity of your blower is amazing Anubis. How one could go so long and another die so young is mindboggling. (The first one to put that down to premium gas gets a smack...)

It surprises me Mazda/IHI hasn't contacted you yet to buy it back to see what they actually did right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
