Ya that's what I did the next day when tech support finally got back to me lol. At first i thought I burnt off some oil but when I measured the old fluid was about 3.3 oz. I just forgot to make a note in the video.
Question: I got the AC-Delco SC Oil. The people @Buick told me I needed 6 oz, so they sold me two bottles. Here you're telling me I need a little under one? This SC looks similar to the one on my 98 Buick Regal GS. Could you anyone advise on the proper oil capacity for a SC on that model? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the video. It's the general concept that helps me out a lot. My technique would have differed as I'm sure everyone else watching this would have their own preference of tools and technique. What matters is that you got the job done and saved $1k in parts and labor, mainly labor, compared to having a local mechanic doing it and they wouldn't have gone as far as cleaning the internals or replacing the worn down coupler, just replace the fluid probably and put it back on with a new belt and still charge you at least $750. I'll be doing this on a Mini Cooper r53 which also has eaton supercharger and trust me if I had BMW/Mini do it the cost will be more than what it's worth.
Thanks for great info. May I ask what is the coupler that needs replacing? Also have you noticed burnt fumes coming from Supercharger that indicates low oil levels? Thanks, I will also try replacing my SC oils.
Don’t let hater’s stop you, this is the best way to learn is BY DOING IT, and to the haters “ why don’t you provide some useful knowledge of what he should’ve done, I just read you shouldn’t have done this and you shouldn’t of done that besides stating a better SOLUTION “ Like when prying maybe you should use some thing that’s more malleable than the aluminum when separating the cases so you don’t score it “, just ignorant people Sorry but it’s true “help somebody don’t to hurt them” part of accomplishing someone’s dreams or obstacles is ACTING ON THEM not just dreaming of them, keep up the videos I might’ve missed it but torque specs would’ve been nice if you didn’t say it, These videos definitely help even if you are an experienced mechanic that never dove in to this particular part because it gives a sort of heads up what you’re running into,thank you🙏🏻👍👿👎💯
To pry appart you can jack with screw and nut, cut a srew to the exact fit on the three crevices and unscrew the nut while inside. But thanks for teaching , I wonder if you replaced the shaft seal to the pulley?
What about those needle bearings? Did you spray them out then repack them, just push new grease in, just grease the noses? Thats the sketchiest part for me.
Since no one answered you, I can tell you that for the similar Eaton unit on my Jaguar XKR they say it's good for about 100,000 miles before it should be serviced.
Yes sir, can you plz help me out with my problem, I had 2009model c200 kompresor code p0045 supercharger boost control solenoid circuit A open, where can I find the boost control solenoid, tnx
If some sealant squidged out of the joint on the outside it stands to reason that some may have also squidged out of the joint on the inside. If that hardens and then breaks off won't that cause havoc to the internals? I was sold the correct amount of oil for my M90 for Jaguar XJR6 1995 by Powerhouse in UK. = 185ml
The most common way of using is to change the intake with outtake side. Use the bottom for intake the air in supercharger and the bottom to throttle body.
Thanks for sharring. My Stillen supercharger on 350z is making noises. Mostly bearing noises when idling and rev-up (did not used to make them). The supercharger has over 100k miles so its times to do the maintenance. Do you know if these items could fit the Stillen model? Thanks
A few things I'm worried about in this video : 1. You risk scoring the mating surfaces whe prying it apart with a screwdriver surly 2. All that excess brake cleaner, will it not work its way into the sealed bearings on the front and ultimately kill them? 3. You wipe off the excess sealer from the outside of the case... What about the inside.... Maybe too much gasket maker ? The grease you use on the rear bearings, did you clean them or even check what the original grease was that is used incase of chemical reaction and noting the amount used, as too much grease is as bad as none at all...
never clean the screws. The screws are coated with delicate teflon coating that helps with the screws efficiently to provide boost. Don't do what he did. The only thing he did right in this video was the couplers and the oil change......
NEVER PRY APART METAL WITH A SCREWDRIVER OR METAL PRY BAR!!! USE HARDENED PLASTIC PRY BAR. OR A RUBBER HAMMER/MALLET. ALL ASE TECHNICIANS ARE CRINGING RIGHT NOW. OUCH !!! 🥴
Any tips or suggestions on getting the pulley off, i am told and seen it can be difficult and that you must have a hydraulic press to remove it.. Just curios how you got yours off and also where to get the pulley gasket, bering etc? Thanks
Edward Jean-Simon. The r53 series (first gen BMW made Mini Cooper S 2001-2005) used an eaton m45 supercharger. This is similar enough but I believe the m45 uses 4.9 fluid ounces on the pulley side and 1.9 fluid ounces waterpump side.
@@chilipalmer2195 Why does that insult you people have learned from RU-vid, then later on get into car groups or make real life connections to refine their skills? Why does it also insult you that someone is taking extra good care of their 2500$ supercharger. (NGM With the MP62 Blower). Which is not made anymore for the Tiburons?
People use seafoam in their crankcase to clean out old deposits before an oil change. Basically same concept. If you were smart and knew something this guy used gasket maker when he shouldn't of when he put the snout back on. Are you gonna cry and bitch about too?? You just wanna pick an argument you dumb fuck.
@@Mark-ko8zp I mean I rebuild them every day don’t get me wrong this dude is a dumb ass 1. Using screwdriver to pry it apart 2. Used lithium spray grease for rear bearings 3. Filled supercharger upside down. But what’s wrong with using cleaner I use brake clean doesn’t even hurt coating on rotors I wipe down the housing walls with gun oil for rotors but I’ve never had a comeback because I used cleaner??
This whole video gave me anxiety. Although I was pulling my hair out when you set the mating surface on to the wood board, I still continued watching to see your torquing sequence and you didn’t film that part. Kinda glad you didn’t I was probably going to have a panic attack. This was 6 years ago hopefully you know better I know six years ago I was probably doing worse shit we live and we learn 😂
You had me up until you put the flathead on the bare aluminum. That is exactly what not to do when splitting the snout from the body! These things leak bad enough without hacking up the mating surfaces! Come on man. 🤦♂️
I put my Eaton Supercharger back on my car. However, it is not running right. :(. It turns off, and does a loud hissing sound. I wonder what I did wrong? Any suggestions? Thank you
I have a 20o1 pontiac grand prix gtp, is the process the same for my vehicle and where can i order the parts coupler etc. from? I'm not having much luck finding them..thanks

Thanks for replying, looks like I'm not gonna have any luck there either, when i put in all the car info it says not compatible... 2001 Grand Prix GTP 2 dr coupe
JESUS JUMPING CHRIST!!!!! At least spend $1.72 on some plastic trim tools to pry those cases apart. Even your 1/4" flat screwdriver bit is a 9/10 on the ghetto scale. If you did this kind of shoddy disassembly and your blower worked again - I am sure there's NOTHING any of us could do to make it worse. At 6:55 would I be premature expecting a claw hammer with a splintered handle?
You using metal screwdriver to pull apart the housing is cringy. Get yourself some plastic interior-trim removing tools. Stop scratching surfaces. Still "liked" your video, the rest of it was great.
