I was able to find a set of high speed ceramic bearings that meet all the specs but have a 25 cut.
Ceramic bearings for vortech t trim.
The seals and low speed bearings are pretty cheap.
I ve got about 35000 40000 miles on it now.
The car made 16lbs of boost through a stroked bored motor ported and polished heads supercharger cams and a paxton air to air.
Has anyone ever come across a how to for replacing the seals and bearings in a vortech s c.
We have found the right combination of ceramic ball bearings hhs bearings races and high temp phenolic bearings cages to allow safe increases.
Last time i checked there wasn t any play that i could see in the input shaft but i wouldn t mind changing then out anyway.
We have found the right combination of ceramic ball bearings hhs bearings races and high temp phenolic bearings cages to allow safe increases in rpm s compared to stock vortech impeller bearings.
Im selling the rebuild kits currently for all vortech v5 compressors.
The best of everything.
Premium high speed rebuild kit for vortech superchargers.
A pair of our top of the line ceramic 72 000 rpm bearings for your impeller our better than stock mechanical face seal a set of new hss input shaft bearings and an input shaft seal too.
Vortech mentioned something about a t trim upgrade with a better bearing maybe 55 000 rpms but it seemed like the juice wasn t worth the squeeze.
I m curious if this is going to cause problems in the vortech application.
Prices include 40 domestic return shipping add 60 for express international shipping 225 00 machine scroll to larger trim profile from a s si etc.
I have the numbers for a v7 somewhere i will see of i can find them.
If going to a ceramic bearing and sticking with the same oiling as it currently has will give me the opportunity to really push this blower then i ll have to really consider it.
This is my vortech v5 blower on my tc with custom made ceramic bearings.
1095 a b s sq or si to si or t trim conversion with 8 8 billet impeller bearings and seals.
The thrust from the helical cut v2 is my concern.
Now your s trim vortech can produce almost the same 1200 cfm as a t trim below 50 000 rpm impeller speed and even more if you spool it up to 60 000.
All vortech v1 v2 v3 v7 and trd superchargers.
Head unit was upgraded recently with high speed ceramic bearings upgraded high speed seal and a billet impeller from 928 motorsports almost 1200.
Trim up to t trim.
The 928 motorsports high speed ceramic bearings.
The bigger blowers use a ceramic low speed deep groove ball bearing while the high speed side uses a ceramic bearing also but an angular contact like all the v1 and v2s.
