Worry not bro, any sc project (bolt on) that we take on, we will take our time in development & testing, to ensure everything runs accordingly...Thanks for the support...Many thanks guys.. https://www.zerotohundred.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif alt='tongue.gif' />

Gerard,

Just the person I need to advice from.

1) Do you service SC? Powerdyne make but model not sure. Bearing problem.
Please let me know the price. If you can't give exact price, please do give
some indication.
2) Took a peek and realised that impeller fin damage a little. Can you fix it?

Thanks

Bro Vader

Sorry to say, we do not have such service as per your request....I assume the sc you have is the centrifugal type?...We only service roots type superchargers only...

gerard :D

Change your SC to roots typelah, immediate boost from idle onwards. If I am not mistaken Centrifugal type got a bit of lag until 3K rpm before boost sets in. If you don;t believe test drive Gerard's SCed GTI, the G-Force is great!

Anyway thats only my $0.02, ultimately it's what you crave for in your ride :D

Bro,
Roots type is the supercharger with 2 loobs made of teflon and turns like gears only without any teeth to generate air...Centrifugal is the one that looks like turbo with turbine housing at the front with fins but the rear runs via belt with pulleys that looks like camshaft gears.... :P

Cheers
gerard :D

 

[vader]

OK. Mine is Centrifugal then. This is what it I think it should looks like then dismantled.

Bro,
Nice charger you have there, taken from what car or kit?...If not mistake, should be for 2000litre application?...Have you used it before?.

Cheers

There is 2 s/c in the pic. Dont think the supercharger pic is taken out from your car it is from your car right.

Powerdyne has a few models of s/c like BD-10,BD-11, BD-11A and BD 600.
Can you tell which one is it?

The upgrade kit which consist of ceramic bearings, kevlars belts, impeller and shaft will cost about 800 USD.

 

[vader]

Synchron,

Oh no. The picture is sample I found on the internet. It looks exactly like mine. I have taken some pics of my actual SC but the image is too big so I use the sample.

About the model, I dont know. I try to find the model number on the unit but just can't. Anyway, I think the difference is in the way the air flow outlet is pointed. Other than that, everything is the same among the models. I think.

Yes. it is around the 800USD to service the whole thing it but what I need is just some bearing change. Should be much cheaper. Got the bearing part number with me. Just a matter of finding the right person to take it off and change it. Anyway, no hurry. I am just identifying the right place to do it.

Gerard,
Yes it is for 2.5cc. It is on my car now. Fitted by the previous owner.

 

[synchron]

try taking the bearing out and go look for NTN or SKF. I am sure that they got it.

Gerard is the right person to go to if you are looking for a s/c specialize in KL.

Bro synchron,
Many thanks for the kind remarks bro.... :P but supercharger development as bolt on kits on protons is my work for now and I cant help much with servicing superchargers, especially centrifugal type...no parts and experience in these chargers :) ....Perhaps you can.. :D

cheers and many thanks
gerard

Well! I have never touch this Powerdyne before, I have research with it for about a fews months on it, that is why i am familiar with the repair kit pricing.

We can try taking it all out and repair it, but there is no 100% that we can solve the problem.

 

[vader]

Wow!

Apparently it is difficult to find someone to service Powerdyne. I myself has been searching high and low for manuals/guidance on the internet etc. Managed to find some instruction and details like part no, sizes etc. No problem here. It is the experience that I dont have. Sigh....

Anyway, thanks for you guys replies. Appreciate it. Will get in touch again....

Cheers

Hi Gerard, its really a good and convincing write up on SC. I'm really interested to find out whether you will be planning on working on SC for kancil, since you've already worked on a Perodua Kembara before, i thought it might be really interesting if you would decide on working on Kancils rather than have them undergo an engine transplant which would ultimately cost more, during purchase and workmanship as well as in maintainance, which if i were to reflect on my transplanted engine, not really really worth my money, but for the power it delivers, i really enjoy it. It hurts so bad every maintainance. Think about the many Kancil lovers who would invest in an SC that can deliver a much torquish drive without having to transplant and go thru the hassels in JPJ and PUSPAKOM. I would be the first in line if there's such a breakthru from u. Hope to hear from you.
