supercharger oil change

Post by Abactus »

so i disassembled my charger yesterday to change the oil and have a look at the inside for wastage

pics:

for the people that can't get enough of my naked engine bay :D

Image

Image

Image

disassembly of the pulley:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

after that i tipped out the oil. sorry for the bad pics. the color looked like icetea just a bit thicker.

that stuff stinks terrible - i nearly passed out when i opened the oil drain screw *gg*

Image

Image

there didn' come out much oil (there should be about 100ml). for comparison: in the left bottle there are about 100ml of water, in the right the oil i caught from the charger

Image

next: housing

Image

Image

a pic of my ride if anything would have gone wrong :D

Image

the rotor pack had a few scratches but was in a good condition as far as i saw. clearance was ok too.

Image

the inside

Image

a few scratches too, but not so bad like a buddy's charger i saw some time ago

Image

Image

Image

i couldn't get loctite510 so i bought this. its for seal up gearboxes and engines, so i think it will work with the charger aswell

Image

that stuff stinks even worse then the oil :D

Image

assembly

Image

i didn't want to wait for some special eaton charger oil so i bought gearbox oil (75w90). we'll see how clever that was...

Image

Image

Image

that damned ring - i had no fitting pliers so i tried to put it back on with two small screwdrivers and it worked :)

Image

nearly completed

Image

ready to put it back in.

Image


incl. testdrive it took me about 6 hours. it can be done much faster i guess but i didn't want to ruin the charger.

as there was less oil left i'll open it again in 10-15000km to check how much oil i'm loosing.

It's far too early for me to be to be speaking in tongues. But I will say this at the very least, aller Anfang ist schwer.
