Supercharger rebuild
I have an M62 supercharger kit for my MR2 which I'm planning on fitting 'over the winter'. However, it was bought knowing that it
had a noisey bearing and came with a full rebuild kit with new bearings, oil, etc.
However, I'm not sure if I want to take on the rebuild myself and am thinking it would be more sensible to pay someone who knows what
they're doing to overhaul it for me. ie strip down, inspect, fit new bearings, etc. Also tell me (honestly!) if there is anything else that
needs doing whilst it's apart.
Can anyone recommend a company that can do this for me?
Cheers, Chris

These may give you enough confidence to have a go yourself

Hmm... at first glance, that doesn't look that difficult. Perhaps more research is required. I guess I'm just a bit scared by it as the
'charger was expensive and I don't want to screw it up!

You just need to be careful not to scratch the surfaces that's all they are pretty simple bits of kit.
Make sure you have a really good charge cooler BTW

I have serviced the M62 myself changing all of the bearings. The back ones are easy to do, as unbolting the front section allows the turbines to be
withdrawn. Thebearing in the clutch is also an easy replacement.
the hard bearings are the ones at the front which require the two drive cogs to be removed. These are just pressed in place but are an incredibly
tight tolerance and I ended up going to a garage to borrow the use of their 50ton press to get them back on.
but the process is straight forward

Thanks all. Tempted to have a go at it myself now.
It's not got a chargecooler unfortunatly - one of the limitations of the kit I have - but apparently I should expect to gain 100bhp at 6psi
which I'm happy with. The stock V6 lump quick enough as it is really, this is just so I can really scare myself!

You can always water inject it if space is tight for the charge cooler. This is what I am doingon another project ( for myself) using multi hole fuel
injectors
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Indeed, I might give that a go at a later date. What I've read seems to suggest that it's ok at 6psi, but that's the upper limit
for the charge temperatures. If I want more power at a later date I'll investigate things like water injection, or maybe nitrous.
