Default Novi Supercharger Question

So i had talked to some shop about the way u calculate the rpm of the blower , and i was told not to spin my Novi 2200SL past 59k . Now i was told if i remove the oil slinger and convert it to oil fed instead of self contained that i could spin it to 80K with no problem . Has any one done this mod to there blower? is it worth it ? and problems ? Thanks

I don't agree with that at all. The Novi SL 2200 and regular 2200 have different bearings. It's not a matter of oil being fed or getting hot.

80,000 is stupid for an original 2200sl if you converted it.

And impeller speed of your blower is simple. Sale that blower and put a YSI or 2200r(ysi with a billet case) if you want to turn it up.

No , it not the oil , it's the oil slinger coming apart at near 60k rpm . Bearings are replaceable , and easy to do . Do it everyday of the week .

YSi isn't that much bigger . i do believe it only flow 200 cfm more . I never planed on spinning it that fast . But i was nice to know that i could . I have ATI 12% over drive damper so if i do want to spin it fast i can .
