I have an Eaton M62. I bought it second hand but it was new, I've used it for about a minute in total. The problem is that something got into it before I used it, swarf/grit or something and now it's got some scratches on the rotors.

What are my options? Can it be repaired? How much difference will having a few scratches make?

Does anyone want to buy a supercharger?


Scratches

Give ya a tenner for it

The blades are coated, I doubt there is any thing you can do. Just run it and suck it and see.

It'll make a small difference because the Eaton has coated blades so they can run at close tolerances. you'll inevitable loose a bit of boost with scratches like those. But probably not a lot!!!

I must admit the M45 that I bought had similar ones. It's hardly surprising- the air gap between the rotas is so small, even the smallest bit of fine grity dust will do it.

Eaton probably could re-coat the blades but I expect it would be cheaper to just get a new one!!!!

Actually i say chuck it on the bay as a codename starting at 99p and U2U me the link. That'll do just fine.

Don't some eaton's suffer from the blade coating's peeling off (some of the MINI ones do iirc). If so then those scratches may cause the coating to peel and be ingested by the engine.

I'd call Eaton and talk to them about your options.

they do replacement rotors.

i saw a set on ebay the other day brand new.

when i look for supercharges, enough idea what i will not get insured on.lol

Being a bit of a "bodge and see" kinda guy... provided the damage was nothing major I would strip out the scrolls and carefully file/polish off any raised lips etc.. and re-assemble and then use it with more care next time!!

Thanks for the info everyone

£200 if anyone wants it, I paid more than double that. It's got uprated bearings too.
