    Hey all,

    I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but my supercharger is sounding weird here and there. I spoke with someone last year about a place I think in Grand Rapids, Michigan where they specialize in pressing new bearings into superchargers, especially for GTPs. Does anyone know about this place or something like it where I can go and replace my supercharger bearings?

    thanks

    You can get the parts from ZZPerformance

    Many times you can find a shop to rebuild them locally. Sometimes the problem with that is they charge $80.00+/hr. shop rate, and do not know what they are doing.

    I rebuild superchargers all the time.

    My shop rate is a flat fee. Owner supplies the bearings and seals, a complete M90 rebuild (snout and case needle bearings) is $100.00 labor. Includes complete disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly.

    Snouts only needing rebuilt are $50.00 for club members.

    LOL, thats the labor price. Nice try.

    Many times the coupler is to blame for noise, replace with the green bomb proof one from ZZP, and never have a worry again. Thats a easy DIY fix with basic hand tools. There is a few how to videos on Youtube even.
