Has anyone rebuilt their vortech superchargers? The seal on my shaft is leaking, because my belt broke and wrapped a whole rib in between the pulley and the s/c on the shaft. I don't want to send it to vortech for one seal and pay $400... So if anyone knows what the part number is so I can replace it myself that would great! It's a v7 ysi. I dont know if that makes a difference. Also here is a picture if anyone is wondering that seal I'm talking about.
You can change that seal without even opening the blower up, mine wasn't leaking but I changed mine anyway this year when I swapped pulleys. There should be a number somewhere on that seal that you can crossreference. My porcharger used a chicago rawhide seal which I cross reference to a federal no problems at all. Those seal have a metal race, to remove it just poke a small hole into the race and use a pic to tap it lose, u can also drive two small screws into the race and pull it out that way as well. My new seal used a formed hardened rubber coated race, its an easy change and the seal shouldn't cost more than 10$ If you can find a number vortech should be able to give u a part number, I know procharger will.

Belt shredded up again... and wrecked another seal.... quick question. Can you press the seal in to far? I tapped it in with a socket, But I don't know if I tapped it in to far.
no eventuall the seal should bottom out against the case, it should be like stepped if u look when the seals out. If your shredding belts so easy you have an alignment issue with the blower.
