I don't know alot about Superchargers, but have heard that if you leave a Supercharged car stood up that the Charger will have to be rebuilt?

 

How do you mean "stood up?"

 

Stationary (not running) for a considerable amount of time.

 

if you mean on idle thats just stupid. a manufacturer wouldnt make a supercharged car if that was the case.

 

No, I mean off the road, in the garage. I'm talking 3 months.

 

nope, no reason it will need rebuilding. will be all A ok

 

Ah, i see.

In answer to your question, i have no idea

 

surely it would be the same as any engine that had been stood up , get some oil pressure though it before firing it up and there u got ,

as far as i know theres no reason a charger would need rebuilding

my olny point of concern if at had been stood up a fair while would be to check the pulley belts for perishing

beef

 

i've had my supercharged laid up for longer than 3 months before and had no problems with it, i've even had the SC off afterwards and looked inside and the rotors still looked like new.

maybe in the old days like on the old corrado's their superchargers only lasted something like 70k miles b4 needing a rebuild, modern superchargers last loads longer and are built much better.

 

Erm. AFPMSL.

I was asking because my sisters car has been off the road and its a...........


































CORRADO!!!

 

I used to have a g60 golf, chargers are quite fragile on them as i found out

 

ah i see.

well i've not heard about this issue before but it may be true on older style blowers.

this place refurbs the G-ladder blowers and you can pay a bit extra to get it flowed and ported:

you could ring them to see if it knacks up the G-ladder if its been out of use for a length of time.

 

Thanks!

 

No chance of this happening on an Eaton style blower, they dont even have oil as such, totally self contained, but id be suprised to hear a G-lader has this problem, it should have no worse probs than a turbo as they are lubed in the same way.

coil off and crank over for a bit to be on the safe side i reckon. (not like thatd make much odds on a belt driven device, but its easier than removing the belt )

 

Cool. Thanks for that.

Now, we just have to find a drivers-side door handle that isn't broken.

Rocking-horse shit anyone??!!

 

Phone Chris, Superchargers are his first love.
