4AGZE, SC12 Low Compression: Need Advice
Posted: Thu May 28, 2015 1:01 pm
I've been drifting my car pretty hard recently...
My compression on my supercharger won't go above 9psi.
It usually goes up to 15+psi (over sized pulley)
I checked the dipstick on my SC oil, and it is grey, not clear. Most likely ground up gears.
My question is, would it be wise to keep driving it until I fail the SC completely?
I'm planning on getting a new SC instead of rebuilding this one. Just concerned if a failed SC could damage the engine.
I'm not familiar with how these SC work/fail.
Thanks!
