custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

Everything is sold!!!

My old head unit is junk, so I can either sell everything minus the head unit as a kit or separate the custom parts for anyone who already has a Paxton setup...


The custom parts are:

Blow-through MAF setup with blow-off valve (non-intercooled). It includes everything between the supercharger outlet to the throttle body, minus the MAF sensor.

Here's a pic: clicky clicky

Since this pic was taken, I tig'd a nipple on to the aluminum tube before the hump hose and attached a Bosch vacuum-actuated bypass valve, vented to atmosphere. I'm asking $170 for this (or $110 without the vortech elbow)

Pics off the car (supersized!): pic 1 pic 2 pic 3


#1 slip-fit primary I made for hooker/jet-hot long tubes to work with the paxton blowers. It's the only way to run long-tubes with a paxton setup due to their design. It's made using 1 3/4" mild steel tubing and a 3/8" header flange.

It's two separate pieces so it can be installed either before or after the blower outlet tubing is installed. I had it Jet-Hot coated silver to match my headers and keep things in the engine bay cooler.

Here's a pic: clicky clicky

Since this pic was taken, I added a band clamp on to the first joint to seal a small exhaust leak. There's quite a bit of time in this one and with the cost of the jet-hot coating, I'm asking $110 for it.

Pics off the car (supersized!): pic 1 pic 2 pic 3


MSD 6BTM with pre-wired for single connector (96-97 style) coils (red box -- I replaced a dead Paxton MSD box with a new one less than 3k miles ago). $200


Paxta-map Fueller (Carroll Superfueller) -- upgraded to GM weatherpack connectors and replaced the injector driver with a new updated one less than 3k miles ago. Comes with 58mm throttle body plate including injectors -- $300


Everything else is prettu much standard stuff... $200 for eveything listed below:

Bracket and tensioner with all mounting hardware
crank pulley, spacer, and bolts
slightly used belt (4k miles) and brand new belt.
6psi and 9psi pulleys
Intake tubing and filter (modified with solid tube to replace the MAF for blow-through setup mentioned above) pic (supersized)


Or, $860 + shipping takes everthing
(or $800 + shipping for everything minus the vortech elbow)



Brand new, never used VR4 impeller for SN93 blower (good for another 1.5-2psi boost) -- tentatively sold.

Re: custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

What type of paxton head unit did you have? Will those pulleys fit on a sn-93? Or will you even separate the pulleys?

It was a SN-93. The 9psi pulley is double-keyed. The 6psi pulley is only single keyed. Paradise wheels wants $100 for a pulley. I'd sell one for $50 shipped.

With the 9psi pulley, you are pretty much maxing out impeller speed. I'd suggest replacing the impeller before pulleying-up... But that's just my opinion.

Re: custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

I just bought this kit off of a guy and according to him its is freshly rebuilt. It doesnt have the "HP" impeller. What do you mean by double keyed?

Would you happen to have the oil cooler for an sn-93?

Re: custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

the shafts on the SN series blowers have 2 keyways. The 9psi pulley that I have also has 2 keyways, so it can use 2 keys for driving the blower (as opposed to the stock 6psi pulley that only has 1 keyway machined into it).

It is just a little stronger...

Nope, I don't have the oil cooler for it...

If you need any internal parts, I have those also. The part of my blower that is trashed is the scroll, but I have a set of brand new *****, bearings, front seal. The shaft, oil pump, ball drive, races, and impeller shaft are all in really good shape too. Even the old set of ***** I have look really good. If I could get a hold of a scroll, I'd rebuild this bower and sell it.

Re: custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

with that 9 psi pulley...is that really putting a lot of strain on the charger? I know paxtons usually fail because they cant take high rpm's very well.

Re: custom Paxton balldrive blower parts...

This is what I have calculated out:

Stock pulley: 6.5 (crank) and 3.5 (blower). 4.4:1 blower step-up, 5700 engine RPM, 10% belt slip = 41919 impeller RPM.

9psi pulley: 6.5 (crank) and 3.25 (blower), 4.4:! blower step-up, 5700 engine RPM, 10% belt slip = 45284 impeller RPM.

The max impeller speed for these blowers is 45,000. The 9psi pulley puts you right at max impeller speed, which is why I suggested the VR4 impeller as an alternative to up your boost before you go with a bigger pulley.

The guy who owned the blower before me put over 10k miles on the blower with the 9psi pulley, so it seems to be safe. I only ran it with the 6psi pulley because my shortblock was stock and I didn't want to blow it up.

VR4 Impeller is tentatively sold...

I've added pics of the blow-through setup, slip-fit primary, and blower inlet tubing to my original post if anyone is interested...
