G60 Super charger rebuild question

[volksworld13 0]

Hi guys and gals

 

I have a couple of questions I'm wanting to rebuild my charger with new seal,bearing, apex strips ect, however I need to know where the best place to source the repair kit and also does the charger need balancing after rebuild?? As Jabba state in their write up? And if so what tolls are they using?

And if their is a repair manual for stripping and rebuilding??

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated , I don't wanna pay through the sphinxter and sent it away for refurb !!

No balancing required, Only time balancing could come into it was if the displacer was heavily damaged, but then I wouldn't risk any repairs anyway. Try Matt at Only Charged Dubs. http://onlychargeddubs.co.uk/

Found this when I first got my G60,

Ended up getting JMR in Littlehampton to do the work as I wanted some porting doing ( http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=75705&page=2 ). So I haven't rebuilt a charger with this walk through.

 

As for a kits i'm sure Jabba & Bar-Tek do a good rebuild kits but it will still cost £200 plus.

My supercharger was rebuild with the Jabba Sports kit as it came with the G60 I bought. Unfortunately I haven't finished the G60 project so fully recommend anything yet but i'm sure other members will be able to help you out.

 

Good luck mate, hope you get it done.

Thanks Riley.

 

There's a rebuild guide on Dubforce forum but some of the advice the person uses is wrong - http://www.dubforce.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=21875

 

As for the parts we keep a full kit in - http://www.onlychargeddubs.co.uk/products/supercharger-re-build-kit-g60-g40.html

 

This is using the correct apex strips (Jabba don't) and new polyamide bearing cages on the casing bearings (we've done a lot of research into the best bearings to use :)

 

It is the best kit on sale right now for sure!

 

As for balancing Riley is correct, there's no need to balance them unless they're damaged or ported.

 

As for having it rebuilt for you, we only charge £270 plus carriage to forum members for a basic rebuild :)

That would explain why I have a load of Apex strips left from getting mine rebuilt. Best I bin them then if they are no good.

 

Very reasonable rebuild cost if I do say so myself:thumbleft:

We only ever use the grey strips if displacers have some wear to them beyond normal use.

 

But the ones we get come too long (not ideal) but most I have seen recently from others are too short, by around 5-6mm overall, which is terrible. This when they can pop out and chew your charger up! Displacers never survive a jumped apex strip.

 

The beige apex strips are the OEM ones used by VW from '92 onwards when they had the G-Lader spot on. They contain huge levels of PTFE so don't require extra lubrication and will never wear your displacer :)
