Supercharger durability

Looking for some feedback on how much mileage that you have on your supercharger unit without a rebuilt?

Don't really care how many times you rebuilt the engine.lol... just the supercharger unit itself.

Don't really care if you have 400HP or 1000HP,but would be nice to know where your HP level is.

I know they need an oil change once in a while of course,just want to know which one has high,lowno maintenance.

For me as an example,I'm running a TVS 1900 in my AV for over 2 years now,about 30000mi.So far,no issues.

Starting to mod.the Camaro,so I'm open to ideas......lol...

Thanks in advance

Should be OK until 100k then change the supercharger oil I thought. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Should be. Maybe a little sooner if extreme usage.

Every manufacturer has different maintenance requirements.

I have a Lysholm installed. it's been installed for about 1500 miles. Lysholm recommends changing the oil in the supercharger every 30,000 miles.

So far, zero issues with the Lyhsolm.

FYI: Lysholm is manufactured by the Vortech/Paxton people.

Magnuson recommends changing the oil between 80 & 120k miles depending on usage.

Lysholm is 30k miles

Procharger is 6k miles

I have to look up the rest. edelbrock should be like Magnuson

I've had my Magnuson on for about 20k miles. Absolutely no issues. I've done nothing to it other than add the cog drive & bump up the boost a bit.
