Superchargers life....

[Alfredo E]

Hi guys, how many miles are the useful life of a supercharger? (with a proper oil and maintenance).
Can it be rebuild?

I'm talking about twin screw type (Kenne Bell, Saleen).

Thanks in advance.

60-70K with no problems and yes they can be re-built.

superchargers used in OEM applications (both Roots and Twin-Screw) are designed to last the life of the car

do they? i've never personally seen a Lightning, SuperCoupe or Pontiac GTP with over 200,000 miles on them but i'm sure they're out there

Hundreds, upon hundreds of Thunderbird Supercoups have ecliped the 200K mark with their original Eatons still in tact. The Eatons may not be as cheap as the Centrifugals, or make the power of the big twin screws, but they're by far the most reliable blower on the market to date.

It depends on how well it is maintained. Obviously the blower won't hold up if you never change the oil, and beat on it constantly.
