Default JRSC rotor damage?



I just sold my JRSC, never had the thing apart, and the person who bought it from me told me that when he separated the intake manifold from the blower that the rotors looked similar to this. Apparently the epoxy is peeling off. What needs to be done to insure that the SC will be running strong for a long time. It was running stronger than ever the day I took it off my car. Any advice that I can tell this guy is greatly appreciated.

That thing needs to be sent back to the manufacturer or it will continue to just self destruct.

You didn't notice that giant chunk of epoxy peeled off of the rotor when you sold it?

This is what TOO was ripping on JR about years ago, the bad quality of their SC kits.

I took my apart before I installed it, and mine looked nothing like that. You can always send it to Endyn and they will make it better than before... or so I've heard...

i too took mine apart before installing it. i believe the above occurs from very high mileage and abuse, or high psi.

What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? I sold this guy this charger, having no idea that is what it looked like inside because it was running real strong before I took it off. Thanks,

Greg

tell him that it was sold in as is condition. There was no way that you would know that it looked like that if yo didnt open it up. Help him out, with install and tech support, but dont take it in the shorts on a used part that you sold.

I am waiting for him to come back to me with some pictures he was going to take. I guess I will have to work from there because I seriously had no idea the charger was like that.

Yeah it will not be cheap, so be warned! It would probably be not much more to get a new blower.

IMHO, Tell him the truth, that you had no idea about that, and tell him to give the blower shop a call @ (661) 299-5483. All they do is roots and twin screw blowers, i'm sure they would refinish or replace the rotors and teflon strip it for him.
