I'm gonna be porting my supercharger soon and have been seriously debating this mod. Has anyone welded them? I know you can warp the housing, but I thought someone was gonna try it. And where can I get the quicksteel? My auto parts store didn't have any. Thanks for the help.

Yes it is amazing, I am going to do it sometime in the next week or so... I'm going to take the rotors out and bevel a small 45 degree angle on the rotor side sothey wont fall through. Well see what happens.

When I did pull it off, they were mia.

Like I said, it doesn't bother me much because I know they can't make it past the laminova cores anyway.

i think the key to everything is cleaning and prepping very well, i used brake cleaner like a whole can making sure there was no oily residue what so ever...


and i've had no problems so far and i even tried to "pry" em off with no luck so i just left em

2 dis-similar metals heated and cooled 1000's of times...sooner or later they will separate, crack or whatever. Now maybe nothing will happen at all to the pieces and maybe it will.

To each his own for wanting more s/c noise and how its accomplished.

I agree with you 100%, but where your wrong is quiksteel is not a metal. Also If there were a metal I don't think it is getting hot fast enough and cooling down fast enough to do what you are talking about. It also isn't getting 500+ degrees, 200 maybe? But I do get your point.

I will be plugging the holes today after work! Quicksteel is the way to go correct? And 500 degrees is a litle high.... my coolant reading is only at 183, so it cant be much more than that?

You are right, I wasn't using the 500 degrees for what you are talking about I was explaining something else.
