Alright, i began polishing my supercharger today, and i can tell its going to be a loooooooong process. Im using 180 grit sandpaper right now, and will follow that w/ 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and then 2000. Heres a before pic:



And this is after 2-3 hours worth of work. Im just focusing on the throttle body end currently. And a few pics:





Ill keep updating as i move through the steps, but this thread will prolly be going for a lil while, cuz its gonna take me awhile. Especially cuz of how bad my arm hurts...lol

Any tips and advice is most definitely welcome!

UPDATE: its getting there...



UPDATE: dropped down to a 60 grit. seems to be working a lot better, and not putting many grooves in the metal. im not rubbing very hard at all, but just enough to get those really bad knickes and crannies out.

 

dremel

 

u mean for the tight spots? any ideas on how to grind down the anodized layer faster to get to the smoother finish?

 

Dont use a dremel unless you have the right bits,i used a dremel but they were to corse and left marks, it took about 10 hours, i hated it, but it looks good

 

do you have any after pics?

 

ive thought about doing this many of times but i think im jus gonna paint mine instead but idk if it will create too much heat n cause the supercharger to heat up too much?

 

The paint would cause too much heat?

 

do some searching..somebody was just talkin about doin a port and polish on the s/c just a few days ago. In that thread they talking about polishing the outside and what pieces to use in the dremel kit

 

by polishing my supercharger do you mean polishing your *****

 

uhhh.......wat? lol

wrong kind of polish.....

 

he does the outside also..take another look, granted its only the ridges, but he does do the the outside

 

uhhhh sorry its to funny for me....
to get a polish is to be known as getting a BJ...to some

soooo to polish your supercharger.....NM its only funny to me

 

how was that blower so dirty to start off with? kid before u must have been a putz lookin good bro..night and day difference already.. cant wait to see it finished. btw, car outta the shop yet?

 

negative, hopefully monday. they just got done doing the paint and blending the hood, so now they're just waiting on the axle to come in

 

gotcha gotcha..but i hear they are throwin the SS bumper on..bad ass

 

send it to Stiegemeier

 

o yes, for free too! i had one i was waiting to paint, and they said they were replacing my bumper, so i just asked if they'd use mine. first thing will be evo mod, and i already have fog lenses and the stock lights. im gonna get some more m62 parts though before i get the 8k hid kit.

nah, i like doing my own work.

 

badass dude.. im goin 8k as well

 

powdercoat it and no it will not make it hot

 

i like doin my own work too. this is best left to the pro's. time/pride < cost on this matter.

 

yea i mean it makes sense, and i kno they could def do a better job than me. however in my situation, time/pride>cost only cuz im broke as hell, lol

 

anymore updates? i like this thread :
