Supercharger Help. Cracked housing.

Hey guys, looking for some insight here. I have a gen1 grey Supercharger. I was just prepping to install the 7th injector kit and removed the EGR blankingplate that was installed. I cracked the left 13mm bolt and noticed a hairline crack opening up… now with it out, the piece has broken off and fallen (not in the charger)

Does Anybody know if there are replacement parts for this? I ran a piece of haywire in, and this hole continues into the body of the SC. That bolt won’t even thread in now cause of what is missing. At a standstill with a dead taco in the garage…

 

first person to ask that comes to mind is.... @Speedytech7

 

Damn, that looks like a big piece its on as well. Sucks man, sorry. Hopefully it can be repaired.

 

Yeah, I actually had a buddy msg me that Jon Bond Performance has the whole manifold piece for 299… that might be my only option me thinks.

 

cheaper than the other option i could think of.. which is weld it back together and redrill and tap.

 

I gotta agree with buying the manifold piece if indeed it can be bought yet.

That sure looks like a casting it might be just the picture.

Casting flaw the just decided to break now .

Your sure those are M13 bolts for a EGR block off plate and not M8

Will the EGR ever be installed again?? Quick fix braze a stud in the broken hole bolt the block off plate on.

If you can`t braze epoxies have vastly improved in the last 20 years if you need up and running.

Good luck !!

 

They seem to be the correct size & thread. I’m able to run the new ones in no issue. Well, I’ll never have the blanking plate installed again unless I really don’t want to keep the 7th injector kit.

I hope to have it here by the weekend coming up.. I’ve started to review the 200+ pages on the 3.4l sc thread trying to figure out exactly how to get this back manifold swapped out.. so much reading lol

 

M13 bolts are just slightly bigger then 1/2" Those must handle lots of stress to need to be that large.

It must be the picture that makes them look smaller.

Good luck

 

I’ve actually found a bolt about 10mm longer, same pitch and thread. Got it in there now, and hit it with some jb weld like some have suggested.

Seems to be holding now. I may just cancel my order of that housing .
