Ess vt1 running temp??

Xgelato · 10-11-2019, 04:14 PM

Does anybody know the normal (cruising speed) temperature of an ess vt1 supercharger in an e92 m3?

I noticed that after a 30-minute slow drive my blower is getting hot, and I can't touch it with my hands anymore. I remember when the blower was relatively new and under a similar drive I would touch it with my bare hands and it wouldn't be hot at all.

I'd check it with an infrared temp sensor and see if it's consistent or hopefully cooler then the rest of the motor. If it's hotter you might have a problem.
