Exactly. It has mesh/screen in the center of the 'bolt'.

Mine does the same thing.

I saw a cobra that had a line instead of a vent that ran from the snout all the way up to the top of the SC and drained into a small reservoir, which itself was plumbed back into the top of the supercharger. So when you blow out oil, it looked like it gets recirculated.

Well I can now fianlly post here as an official TSer!

Andrew, welcome That's a thing of beauty

Very cool! Now you need to move to Portland so we can terrorize unsuspecting vettes and m3's together.

I think this is the 1st time this has ever happened and no one asked but didn't you dyno/sharktune?? Where's the #'s TS Brother?

pmotts

BTW, are you going to add the GTS breather system? I would think that would be high on the list. I have a motor on a stand I could send you the cam covers off of so you could get them powder coated and set up for the GTS system. Then you could send me your old ones when you swap and you would only be down one day.

That's puuuurdy. We need some videos!

Can someone post a pic of how much oil they're getting sprayed out? Mine just seems a little excessive

I had the snout off of my Autorotor, and it seemed that there was an oil seal on the input shaft. I wouldn't think that there'd be much oil getting past. Might this indicate a pressure leak into the gearcase?

Can someone please tell me how heavy the TS supercharger package would be, all boxed up and ready to ship, so I can estimate shipping costs. Thanks, Dave

I would say somewhere between 60 and 80 lbs, maybe more with DR's multi-roller tensioner.

I believe the SC unit builds up pressure inside and that little hole in the snout is designed to relieve the pressure. The cork-filter screw that's supposed to be in there keeps the oil from coming out as well (I assume that like an engine, oil gets whipped up and might be carried out by the air inside the SC). Every twinscrew unit i've seen so far squirts some oil. I think it might be possible to connect a hose to that hole (with an adapter) and drain it somewhere.

Darier,
Mine keeps the hood liner moist. I will get a pic later, it is at the shop. Woody

I still think mine leaks around the bolt threads. Should there be a washer (crush) installed with the bolt??

I've got quite a bit too. (in fact that reminds me, I need to chek the oil level tonight). I'm going to the track tonight, and I'll start with a clean snout and will take pictures before and after so you can get a gage of what I'm experiencing.
