Default Is this supercharger in a repairable state?







Found this in the desert along with the top half of the block, LSA supercharger, what should I check for to know if it can be reused or should I just sell the aluminum for scrap?

Without a snout to drive it it's not worth anything IMO.

Everything that has ever been built is repairable. The real question is whether such repair exceeds the cost of what you end up with. This is highly relative to the cost said item would command in your situation. For instance, a vehicle collision that causes $20,000 of damage to a 1990 civic would obviously be deemed unrepairable, while the same dollar amount of damage to a type 250 Ferrari GTO would be a drop in the bucket compared to the worth of the end product. In this case, you have a hunk of scrap metal.

What are you looking to do with it? Send me a PM if you want to get rid of it.

Coyotes must be getting hungry to drag off a LSA in the desert. LOL.
Crazy what some people find.

Snout can be bought for around $400 used and $600 new, Used LSA supercharger sell for around $1600 with snout so that means it has the potential to be worth a $1,000 providing it doesn't need any work.
