I had a noise that might be similar on a used JRSC, kind of a constant clacketyclack sound near the nose of the blower. The coupler on the rotors broke eventually after months of that. Didn't cause any other internal damage, but it had to be rebuilt. (this was on an autocross car with 8400rpm rev limit, overdriving the blower to 9-10psi with a CRV crank pulley on a B18C1.) We used this guy, great service: http://www.thehighspeedlab.com/ Page with links to rebuild services/prices, diagnostic info, etc: http://www.thehighspeedlab.com/catalog.htm Rocky Mountain region SCCA Autocross and Time Trials dude RIP 94 DB8 |

Alicia,
Just got back from a test drive with my "repaired" supercharger. Tell Dan it works great!! I don't think it ever worked this well. Thanks for saving me!!!

We always ask our customer's to include a note in the box when sending the supercharger in for service to help get the process going as soon as the blower arrives. This is a copy of John's story, in his own words.

Dear Wade,
Enclosed is the Eaton M62 third gen supercharger we discussed. The supercharger began to "rumble" during a trip to CA. I disconnected the fan belt and bypass valve and managed to drive back to AZ. I sent it to Magnuson for repair but they returned it saying the rear of the case was damaged and they didn't have any cases to replace it. I'm using it on a Triumph TR6. I've got one SU carb connected to the separate bypass valve assembly.
Once you get it apart to examine and determine my cost, you could either call me or email me to let me know. I can either give you a credit card number or send a money order.
Thanks for the help,
John Reynolds

David discusses his 1993 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe and it's Eaton M90 Supercharger.
ESM rebuilt the supercharger's rotor assembly and performance coated the rotors.
Hi Wade,
I went over to the dyno this morning for a couple of comparison pulls using the coated rotors. The results were a little better than I expected. I was very surprised to see that much of an increase just by using a set of coated rotors. Anyhow the peak rwhp increased from 339.2 to 357.5 and the peak rwtq increased from 386.9 to 396.2 with no other changes except the rotor pack. Considering how rich it was running, the gains are even more impressive.

Bill discusses his 1998 Pontiac GTP and it's Eaton M90 Supercharger.
ESM rebuilt the supercharger's rotor assembly and performance coated the rotors.
Hey Wade,
I meant to get back to you ...... everything looked very good when I got it back ..........car is back up and running although I have been so busy at work traveling I have not used it much ........ but I did have it on a chassis dyno to tune for new larger injectors and water injection and smaller 2.8 pulley ......... no noise :) with these new mods difficult to know if it alone gave more boost but just after install but before dyno session and 3.1 pulley it definitely made same boost with less throttle and since weather plays such a big role in max boost it make about 1.5 lbs more than norm but it was very cool that day so may be safe to say 1 lb more in reality ....... I still think most improvement other than noise is the response and boost at low rpm. Thanks for a great job if anything changes will let you know.

Hey Alicia…
I have been very busy lately so my car has been just sitting but the SC has been installed along with some other new modifications and tuned on a Dyno made over 330 wheel horsepower 2.8 pulley NO Intercooler SC is very quiet and appears I picked up a full 1 lb of boost dues to your rebuild at same SC speed, rotor coating is being subjected to a large dose of water injection with no problems so far with rotor coating coming off …….. car clubs ……. No question the big online club is http://www.clubgp.com/ all major suppliers are their and a lot participate ……….. since I am in Canada I spend more time on the Canadian version of club GP.

Subject: Proof your coatings work on VIDEO!
Hi Wade,
Prior to a couple of upgrades, my supercharged GTV6 was regularly beaten by a local souped up Cobalt SS supercharged. As a result of you coatings and a change from an on/off water injection system to a more advanced type...
I actually used a larger pulley to keep the same 10psi of boost. Before the coatings I was using a 2.4" pulley and I had to go back up to a 2.62" pulley. That's important to understand. I am not beating the Cobalt due to increased peak boost. I am beating it through increased supercharger efficiency and water injection control.
Bye for now.
Greg Gordon
To: Embree Machine
Your rotor coating sevice is money very well spent. With no other changes boost increased from about 10psi up to almost 12psi. More importantly that increase in boost was NOT accompanied by an increase in air temperature. In fact the supercharger dischage temps are now slightly lower! Looking at it another way, for a given boost level the power needed to drive the supercharger has been reduced and discharge air temperature has decreased.
Perhaps even better is the increase in low and mid range boost. Before your coating I had about 5 psi at 2500 rpm. Now I have 7.5 psi at 2500rpm. This clearly shows that a lot less air is slipping back from the high pressure side to the low pressure side of the blower. This flatter boost curve gives me more of what I bought a Roots blower for in the first place.
Thanks,

Subject: M90 Blower - John
Alicia & Wade - We got our motor together and running today. A minimal amount or tuning/road testing went well. The blower sounds very good - nice and smooth, quiet ... with no grumbling or grinding. The motor sure did seem to be ultra responsive at just a hint of throttle - impressive! Seat of pants felt pretty good! I will not be able to do dyno tuning for a couple of weeks - that is when we will get measured results. I am very optimistic! I will let you know how things go.

Matt discusses his Lightning Pickup Truck and it's Whipple Supercharger.
ESM provided our custom Rescue and Repair services along with a complete rebuild for this severely damaged supercharger.
Still been testing it out. It is doing great. I'm running the same pulley and it is making 17 lbs. of boost in the heat. That is peak at 5,800 rpm. On the dyno I saw 465 to the ground it will be at the 500 mark with some cool weather. Thanks again for the great work. I will keep you posted.

Hey Wade,
This is Rich. Got the blower on the car and got it idling pretty well. I took it out for a test drive last night. Like I told you before the way it was set up I think I was seeing just about 8 lbs. of boost or maybe just a hair underneath 8 lbs. of boost. Since last night, I haven’t checked my data log yet on my computer in the car but, my water injection is variable and adjustable and I set the max flow to 10psi. There is a little light that comes on when the pump reaches maximum flow. I didn't even floor it all the way. I was in high gear on the highway and I just stomped on it, I guess around 4000 rpm and it started to pick up some steam and that little light went on. That means maximum flow was achieved at 10 psi where the throttle was set. The controller is connected to my MAP sensor, which is connected to the piggyback computer so my piggyback is reading the same voltage as the water injection box. So I am assuming that it hit 10 lbs. of boost last night. It may have hit more. I don't know because the box was set at full power to 10 lbs. so I don’t know, it may even be more. I’m pretty psyched about it, like you said I might see as much as 2 lbs. And as I see it right now, I got my 2 lbs. of boost. I don't know if I got any more because I have to check my data log. And I didn't go for full steam pedal to the metal around here. The boost definitely comes on sooner and it comes on harder. Even at part throttle it definitely gets up and goes better. I ported the dummy throttle body that attaches to the factory intake to help flow transition a little bit. And I ported the inlet elbow that attaches to my mass air sensor. I was hoping that would help things a little more. I am pretty sure I got my 2 pounds of boost, so I just wanted to let you know if in the future if you ever do any more M45’s with whatever porting and coating you did I saw 2 lbs. as far as I am concerned. So anyway, just thought I’d give you a heads up.
Thanks a lot!

Hey Wade, this is Rich with the 96 Miata with the M45 supercharger. With no other changes save for the blower work, I noticed an immediate and significant performance improvement. The boost came on sooner and harder than before, and I saw nearly a 2 psi increase in boost pressure according to my datalogs. I am very satisfied with your work product and honesty and promptness in service. I would be happy to do business with you again, as well as refer others to your website.
Thanks.
