Miller Time Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 The eagle has landed folks. Packed to the nines I'm pleased to report despite Customs' best efforts to fuck it up. Snug box with styrofoam all around and all openings tightly taped over. Shit, with the exception of a little surface rust on the pulley it looks brand spanking new. Here's hoping for at least 100,000 km out of it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mts Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 NO, it is spelled correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 NO, it is spelled correctly I should be fine for next Saturday, it has to be earlier in the day though. Shame it didn't come with a throttle body, you may want to invest in a new tb gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I gotto say miller, that looks to be in great shape indeed, and you say customs didn't fuck it up, I'm impressed. All this for 1800 or so plus shipping minus the core charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 He didn't get the rebuild, he got one of the bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I gotto say miller, that looks to be in great shape indeed, and you say customs didn't fuck it up, I'm impressed. All this for 1800 or so plus shipping minus the core charge? No, this isn't a rebuild -- rather an eBay Roll o Dice Special. So far, $830 CAD shipped then the $120 in taxes to keep our fat-assed politicos in the style to which they've become accustomed. Then probably a couple hundred more in good quality gaskets and/or MTS' famous seal-o-goop. It's almost too shiny, although there's no overspray that I can see. The gasket between the nose drive and main body is metal coloured where the edges protrude slightly and all fasteners are spotless. There's a little bit of rubber stuck to the top of the casing (probably where a vacuum hosed melted... ) but other than that it looks great. I haven't peeled open any orfices yet. Either very low miles or a damn good impression of same. Ren, good point about the TB gasket. You gotta part number? And my undying admiration to anyone who can provide me with torque specs on the casing fasteners that hold it together. I'd like to make sure she's snugged down right in case someone did in fact do some disassembly at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super S 69 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Prime it the super charger after installation so there is oil in it. Disconnect the crank sensor. Located by the dipstick going into the block. Start car for 30 seconds repeat 5 times. Charge battery if needed and i recommend it. Connect crank sensor and enjoy. And good luck.

mts Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just pour oil into the galleries before installing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super S 69 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Just pour oil into the galleries before installing.... You can do that to but i primed the engine as per instructions from pse lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Very good... maybe you should scan these instructions and post them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yes -- most interested in these instructions of which you speak. Share with the brethren...and sis...sisterth...n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 More... Underside Interior of what I assume is the intake end showing bearing caps Lysholm lobes. They're covered in a fine, gray grease. Graphite maybe? You can make out some writing. It's incredible how tight these tolerances are. Oil lines and first sign of imperfection. Notice how the second one has been bent against the compressor body. There's no way a fitting will go on that. Anyone know how much clearance this one is supposed to have? Should it actually be straight? And finally....the seal of the masters themselves. Nice to see they take such pride in their work they want everyone to know where it came from...

mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 last one is funny. i dont think its the making of the supercharger but rather the electronics that go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super S 69 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yes -- most interested in these instructions of which you speak. Share with the brethren...and sis...sisterth...n Sorry i dont know what i did with them scan up a couple posts thats what they told me to do anyway. lol And btw if u want disconnect your exhaust and wash the pipe with some type solvent to get rid of any oil in there. Cause your car will still smoke on start if you dont. I didnt do it cause i didnt feel like crawling underneath my car. I change the s/c in my garage. But it will eventually go away and plus its not that much. Good luck and let us know how u make out. Plus after the engine is primed and you go to start it let it idle for a while. I let it idle for about 15-20mins just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renboy Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 KJ01-13-655 That vacuum connection is not supposed to be straight from what I remember. I'll check tomorrow and let you know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Time Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Huh -- so those aren't oil feed lines? I cant figure out how the oil gets up into the sc then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Vacuum connection is on the other side, would be in the foam, no? I only see oil lines and throttle body bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
