Pulleyed SVT Lightning Destroys an Eaton Supercharger

In this video, I explain why I haven't had my SVT Lightning on the channel for several months. Last summer, I tore up my recently rebuilt Jokerz Ported and Rebuilt Supercharger. I was doing some short roll races (40-100) on a night with excellent weather but an 8lb pulley is still hard on it and ended up locking up the supercharger completely and being stranded. I got home, tore the supercharger down and this is what I found.

Can't wait to see it up and running again

Me neither. Been a long winter.

Damn that sucks! I know the feeling, I blew my headgasket on my new built motor on a datalog pull! I had maybe 500ish miles.. Turns out cometic is trash on lightning's, or actually Ford's in general I found out too late! How much was the port work anyway? I kinda miss my how much a Eaton whines especially compared to my Whipple, but cogs made up for it 😁. Try N and hit up Neil Otis for the port work next time, he got into the low 10s I believe, stock block and his port work. Nice vids keep it up 👍

@605BOLT Год назад

Thanks man. Port was about 500, paint, shipping, fees about 500 altogether and rebuild was about 500. So that was a 1500 dollar disappointment. I will never port another Eaton again after this second one.

@lasersgopewpew77 Год назад

@@605BOLT Sheesh, yea at that price point you're well on your way to a twin screw.... But your running a 8lber right? That thing probably got super hot. Man, I'd be a little worried to run that on my built motor with my luck lol!

@605BOLT Год назад

I definitely wanted to go with a non stock blower, but I'm still stock full exhaust and I would need some fuel upgrades as well. Add it all up and it would be somewhere near 10K to upgrade. It will happen, but with a third kiddo due next week I had to be good and not let the nuts swing this time. When this new Eaton craps out (and I can guarantee it will), I will have to do something different (KB, Whipple, TVS 2650). One of those three would wake this truck up for sure.

@lasersgopewpew77 Год назад

@@605BOLT Congratulations on the new addition bro! I only have one, and if I never started my build before I had him, I definitely wouldn't be able to do anything 😂. When I cracked my stock block, it was just supposed to be a stockish rebuild.... but I went down the rabbit hole, ended up doing a Whipple, cam's, upgraded heads, full fore fuel system, etc.... and I still gotta finish my cobra! Sigh wish these mod motors were a little cheaper to build, but I won't get rid of them either, there's no turning back now 🤣

@605BOLT Год назад

Yes thank you. Going to be wild with three. And I can totally see how that happens. Easy to get into the "well, while I'm here..." mentality. Your truck sounds pretty set up. With just a few more mods mine will be pretty potent on the street I think.

@wraith3951 Год назад

What was the root cause analysis of the failure?

@605BOLT Год назад

None was given other than the rebuilder thought it got hot. Well, it was about 60 degrees out when it locked up so....

@MrCarlitosway713 Год назад

so is this why its recommended to go with a 4 pound lower pulley? maybe 8 is too much torque? im asking because im looking into getting my Lightning ported on supercharger and head ported.

@605BOLT Год назад

The reason lots of people suggest 4lb lower is because it's a more beginner level amount of boost that can be handled on stock engine components. My truck has forged rods and Pistons which aren't factory equipment hence being able to push more boost through it. That said, it is outside the blower's efficiency range so it's definitely pushing the limits.

@coffeytime1979 11 месяцев назад

Didn't your blower have jb weld on the silencers??

@605BOLT 11 месяцев назад

One of them did yes. I think I did that when I originally pullied up. I don't remember haha. Been so many damn blowers put on this old truck that I can't keep it straight. That said, its plenty loud and with a port I don't think its really necessary. One time I found one of the plugs sitting on the intercooler brick so that scares me and I don't want to tear up a blower just from having a plug blow around in there.

@dekcaddy3771 Год назад

that happen to me, two weeks ago with edelbrock kit for camaro... the eaton supercharger is TVS R1740 ... with only 200 kms of use... im trying to get the warranty, but begin of all, i dont understand how this happen... big question, how you solve it?

@605BOLT Год назад

Ugh. I had to get a whole different used blower and then have it ported and rebuilt and painted.

@605BOLT 2 года назад

I wish! I would have to do thousands of dollars of supporting mods on top of thousands of dollars of Whipple so I'm going to go Eaton again one more time. Third kid arrives at the end of the summer so I can't go all out on this revision. It should still be pretty quick for a pickup.

How did you mount your gauge pillar?

@605BOLT 11 месяцев назад

It's a black outer layer. So I took the original pillar out completely first. I tossed that on the shelf for someday if I ever go stock again. Then I went to the junkyard and got another pillar trim from a regular F150. Then I drilled some holes through it for the wiring and mounted the black cover to the junkyard pillar and installed it all.

@@605BOLT awesome thank you!! I got one for my lightning but wasn’t exactly sure how I was gonna mount it, because I’m like you I don’t wanna mess up my factory one

Yep same. Got the junkyard one so I could butcher it all up. I hate cutting holes in clean parts.

@FOEHMR0024 2 года назад

That’s why I run a two stage methanol injection with a Stiegemeier venom cooler.

@605BOLT 2 года назад

Thats pretty trick. I don't need all that with the E85. Plenty of octane. What does the venom cooler use for cooling?

@FOEHMR0024 2 года назад

@@605BOLT the venom cooler uses the same coolant as the intercooler/heat exchanger. It T’s off from the rubber lines into the S/C snout. I also run E85/E54. When using E85 I blend it with 87 70/30 because my truck runs better. On E54 I use 90/10.

@605BOLT 2 года назад

Does it have some sort of heat exchanger in the snout? The snout is filled with oil so I'm confused how that works haha. Sorry for being a dumbass.

Dude no way! That’s sucks maybe a bearing got worn out and rotor pack started to wiggle and have some play?

@605BOLT 2 года назад

I'm assuming something like that. Oh well. Just one of those deals when you spin them past their rated RPMs.

@albertromero7601 2 года назад

Why that happened???

@605BOLT 2 года назад

I don't really know. Could be that it got too hot but it was only 58F that night so very very nice weather for that truck. It is pullied so it's obviously spinning really hard. Could have been hurt prior and finally let go this night. 🤷‍♂️

@KINGRG1 Год назад

An 8lbs lower is not unusual and should relatively keep the blower spinning within its efficiency RPM wise. Sorry to say but this seems like an error on the company that did the port work. Eaton’s are very stout blowers.

@605BOLT Год назад

One of those deals where I don't have anything nice to say about the porting company (you know who) so I will refrain from saying anything at all.
