JRSC C30 snail rebuild cost and oil leak areas? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BlueBRZTurbo · 07-18-2024, 02:29 PM

So I have a 2013 BRZ with a JRSC C30 and it looks to have a leak in the system and got low on oil and the supercharger started getting much louder so I took it to my mechanic as I didn't want it to get worse. I am looking for some info on how much a rebuild typically costs and what areas of the supercharger oiling system tends to have leaks to make sure to get everything working as it should once I get the snail rebuilt. I was looking how much a replacement snail costs and it looks to be around 2-2.2k so was thinking a rebuild would have to be somewhere around 1500. If anyone can give some estimates or knows what areas tend to have leaks I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

Rotrex's can't be rebuilt. Anyone who claims they can are full of it. They will die again quickly. check the Rotrex oiling system for leaks, maybe you took a rock to the condenser? Also did you check the Traction Fluid level properly? It must be checked at 2500RPM.

Yeah we checked it at 2500 we followed the instructions exactly there was a leak in the system though that I wasn't aware of.
