Supercharger Rebuilders

Post by GETNHI »

Hi all. I have (or did have)a TRD supercharger on my 3.4 v6 Hilux.
It recently had a major haemorrage and I was wondering if the wisdom of the Outers forum could steer me in the right direction of a rebuilder. The two needle rollers in the back of the housing let go so the rotors were flopping around everywhere and the rotors have the coating stripped off and quite badly pitted etc. I know they build them better than new in the States but would rather work done locally.Thanks for any assistance guys.

Bearings should be easy

What about balancing? How fast do these things spin?

harrop engineering are the australian manufacturers of these eaton superchargers. the tolerances on the rotors and housings are incredibly tight. i would suggest that they may not be able to effectively repair your rotors. is the housing damaged?? so you would be up for a rotor set, bearings and possibly a housing. it may be cheaper to get another one.
