I can't find anything from rotrex, and some I'm limited to mobile my googling is weak and Jackson racings site sticks giant ****s on my phone, so I can't find any support info.

The only thing I've found, is that the oil reservoir sits higher than the supercharger, and rotrex said that it's supposed to be the other way around. But with Jackson racing's setup, it sits higher and literally can't go any lower.

@csgmike help?

Seth,
It sound like a seals in the supercharger are failing to keep the oil out of the compressor. I can't recall where I read it but I think you can't rebuild the supercharger unit. You would have to buy a new rotrex compressor. I am not sure if rotrex rebuilds them.

Rotrex warranty would cover this I believe.

Your friend sounds like quite the expert. How about getting some consensus research done before putting a claim like that out here based on one case.

I haven't looked, but I believe there is a warranty on the Rotrex unit. Likely a year? But, Oscar Sr and Jr should be able to help resolve that issue. Granted, it's the weekend like you said...

0 problems. Your friend is making grand conclusions based on a single incident.

FirestormFRS · 03-29-2015, 01:05 PM

Sorry man. That's going to be an expensive fix if it is indeed the blower itself.

Looks like $2200 for a new blower...

Well we found the reason... rev limiter was raised to 7700 and he's been doing some heavy track use that caused the heads to blow
