Just got SN92 supercharger in the mail Need Advice
Okay here's the deal. I just got my SN92 supercharger P/N 10018 in the mail. I got it used off of ebay for 650 dollars and everything is complete. I inspected the head unit real good and it turns hard meaning it won't turn by hand and the shaft play has little or no movement so i think its okay and probably doesn't need a rebuilt just yet. Boy i'm ready to slap er' on and tear up some rubber but before i do i have a few questions that i hope some of you "SN" owners can answer for me. BTW "5150 LX" referred me here to this site so thanks to him. Okay here are a few questions if you can help out.
1. After receiving my almost complete supercharger kit in the mail minus a FMU i opened the box to find that they packed it with shredded paper. No big deal right. Only thing is they forgot to cover both ends of the supercharger inlets so some of the paper got inside. Well i got most of it out but i think one small piece got inside. I'm just wondering if this little piece of paper could possibly damage the head unit and if that piece of paper got into the engine would it damage my engine or would it just get burned up in the combustion chamber?
2. I think there is a website around here somewhere on how to install a Paxton supercharger. I like to check it out but i forgot where it was. I got instructions with my supercharger but the only part i'm not clear about is mounting the alternator and smog pump to the brackets. If anyone knows where that website is please post it here. Thanks.
3. The discharge tube rubber end connectors are a little worn out and i think i should replace them. Can i get these pieces at the local hardware store or some other place that sell rubber hoses? Probably need to replace the ducting that goes from the MAF to the supercharger inlet. It's sort of stiff and doesn't flex well. Also i'm missing the small metal tubing that's inserted for the smog pump hose modification. Can i make this myself or should i order it from Paradise Wheels?
4. I think you guys probably know or heard of Paradise Wheels. Do they sell all parts for our SN superchargers including all the miscellaneous stuff like nuts and bolts and some other small
stuff?
5. I think the rebuild kit from Paradise wheels is about 450 dollars. Does anyone know another place that sells these parts cheaper?
Sorry for so many questions at one time but if i don't post them now i know i will forget later. Well if anyone can answer any or all of these questions i have posted please don't be shy. Thanks.
