m113k supercharger screws Lube ?
i was doing some research on the possible places for the boost leak and while i was there i read something about a lubricator for the screws/ rotors of the supercharger .... which suppose to provide a better seal between the rotors/ screws of the charger .... anyone heard of this ? and just to be clear, i am not talking about supercharger internal oil the mobil JET oil ...
also this lubricant ( which is a spray or a jel ) suppose to provide better protection to the screws/ rotors of the supercharger
anyone heard of that or done that before ?

yes that's correct but since our blowers are at least 19 years years old , the factory coat starts to disintegrate... so there is a few products out there that provide the lubrication and the seal that is required to renew that . like for example PRIZM, DMPE and WD40 GEL LUBE..
some people also mentioned that they use an old trick which was there long before those kind of teflon base sprays , which is just spraying normal wd40 but it doesn't last long.
the above information is all i could find with regards to this topic online which all was mentioned and applied for the rotor type superchargers... but i couldn't find anything that shows that it could work on screws type superchargers.... and the reason i differentiate between the two types here ( even though both are similar in terms of the look ) is that our supercharger build boost within the screws but he rotor type build boost after that.
also if this spray is done while the car is running -i wonder- what effect does this spray has on the intercooler under the supercharger and on the airflow and also on the boost levels ......

Not going to work at all with what you are trying to do. Even if you took apart the blower and drenched it in WD-40 it will blast right off as soon as it's making any kind of boost.Nothing is going to stay attached to the rotors unless they where permanently coated in something.

well i kind of agree with the effect of boost on this kind of sprays like the wd40 , it make scene..and yes i understand that the other teflon type sprays are not permanent but i think from what i read that they live longer .... but is there is another way to re-coat the rotors ?

Not that I know plus the rotors are different from each other.
These blowers are also VERY inefficient at higher boost and create lots of heat so getting a different type of rotor would be a game changer but that is not going to happen. This is an old platform the we are working with and not a lot of M113k engines where built that survived all these years so most company's have moved on.
