Supercharger Snout Rebuild Kit

Is your supercharged Jaguar or Land Rover producing whistling noises, showing reduced boost pressure, or leaking oil from the supercharger area? Your supercharger snout may need rebuilding. The snout contains critical bearings and seals that support the supercharger's input shaft and prevent oil leaks. We stock comprehensive supercharger snout rebuild kits for 15 different applications from 2010 to 2017, priced at $213.99 to $219.99. Each kit includes all necessary bearings, seals, gaskets, and hardware to completely refurbish your supercharger snout.

What's Included in a Snout Rebuild Kit?

The supercharger snout is the interface between your vehicle's belt drive system and the supercharger's internal rotor assembly. A comprehensive rebuild kit contains premium bearings manufactured to tight tolerances that support the input shaft spinning at speeds exceeding 20,000 RPM. Oil seals prevent supercharger oil from leaking past the input shaft and contaminating intake air?these seals use advanced elastomer compounds that maintain flexibility through thousands of heat cycles. Multi-layer gaskets provide airtight seals between the snout and supercharger housing, and between the snout and intake manifold. All necessary hardware?bolts, washers, and retaining rings?is included for complete professional-quality repair.

Signs Your Supercharger Snout Is Failing

Decreased engine performance is often the first symptom. Worn snout bearings allow excessive input shaft play, increasing internal clearances and allowing compressed air to leak back past the rotors, reducing boost pressure. You'll notice reduced acceleration and sluggish response. Unusual noises provide clear evidence of bearing wear?grinding, rattling, or knocking sounds that overlay the normal supercharger whine, especially during cold starts. Visible oil residue around the input shaft seal indicates seal failure. Check the intercooler and intake manifold for oily residue?this contamination reduces efficiency and can cause mass airflow sensor problems. Air leaks from failed gaskets waste boost pressure and can cause the engine to run lean, risking detonation damage.

Rebuilding Your Supercharger Snout

This advanced repair requires removing the supercharger from the vehicle, disassembling it in a clean workspace, and rebuilding using proper techniques. Remove the supercharger assembly, then unbolt the snout from the housing (typically 6-10 bolts). Press out old bearings using a hydraulic press?never hammer them. Clean the snout thoroughly and press in new bearings using proper drivers, applying force only to the outer race. Install new seals with light oil coating on the lips. Reassemble using the new gasket, torquing bolts in a crisscross pattern (typically 8-12 Nm). Cleanliness is critical?even microscopic particles can destroy bearings. A properly rebuilt snout can last 100,000+ miles.
