SC rotor bearings

Just wondering if anyone have any info on the supercharger rotor bearings.

Over the weekend I finally open up the spare SC that I had. And in the process I damaged one of the rotor bearing. The local bearing warehouse can't help me, and searching the forum/web didn't help neither. So hopefully the E55 expert can help me out.

Are you talking about the super charger pulley bearing? If so I need one too. My bearing just went out today

No, the one you looking for is Nachi bearing. These are the one inside the SC. They are at the end of the actual SC rotors. A lot smaller and apparently a lot harder to find too.

Maybe try a search for some of the shops that re-build SC and see if they can help. The Sc is made buy a Japanese company, so they may have used Nachi bearings in the whole SC. Maybe contact Nachi as well. Wish I had more info but those may be a few starting palces.

BTW, how did you damage the bearing? I took one a part once but planning to take mine apart again to do some work.

We dont have the same luxury here, they do come up every now and then. I may have to look on ebay.de and drive across to the fatherland to get one quickly.

I replaced mine 2 months ago. Bought this one off eBay. Worked like a charm. Two hours later and I was back on the road, no issues since.

That looks like the clutch bearing, we are referring to the internal bearings that support the two rotors within the supercharger unit itself.

I know a place where we can get ceramic supercharger rotor bearings and pulley bearings made.

Just changed the S/C oil at 63,000 miles.

Interesting observation: It required almost three times the amount of new oil than the amount drained. I know these units are sealed, but is it possible small amounts of oil are consumed over time? The old oil smelled pretty bad and the new oil (Mobil Jet) had the normal order. I have had jet turbine aircraft which use the same oil. I do not recall the used oil smelling so bad.

That old oil smells so bad. Anyone who has spent some time on a farm with livestock will find it eerily familiar.

Do tell. I'm sure someone has an extra s/c laying around. They can pull the old bearings and send them off as a template. I think ceramic is freaking cool stuff.
