JUST FINISHED UP PORTING THIS BLOWER...BECK GOT ALOT OF IT DONE AND DID A GOOD JOB I JUST CLEANED IT UP AND SMOOTHED EVERYTHING OUT...AND NOW I'M SANDING THE OUTSIDE TRYIN TO GET THIS POLISHED....

 

and what time is it over there?

 

2 i work get off work at 12am

looks good btw..

 

thanks and no lol

 

Plug those holes with Quicksteel. Buy ACTUAL "Quicksteel".

 

x2

 

how hard is it to actually take the supercharger off? what tools do you need to do it and how long does it take? i would love to plug the silencer holes..

 

well it takes me 5min probly take you 20-30 i've had mine off about 7-10 times

its simple look for a how to, use the search button... if you still cant find nothing let me know...

 

yea its easy...idk if i will plug the holes...thinkin bout it

 

I would be worried about the quicksteel coming off and falling into the engine. It might work fine for a while, but I just don't know how well it would hold up with hundreds of heat cycles.

 

Im just curious as to why you didnt use the "quick aluminium" and not the "quick steel"

 

BLOW BY: Are you peeps worried about actually loosing performance just so you can put the words "Ported Supercharger" in your signature.

When made, the Eaton housing and it's twin screws are calibrated to run as close to the housing walls as possible to ensure mimimum blow back due to compression. Basically, if you polish any area around the twin screws, you increase the gap and increase the loss of compression.

For the love of god, don't touch the inside of the housing..

 

this is common sense, and it doesnt look like he touched the inside of the housing. Not sure why you are freaking out

 

no i didnt touch inside just smoothed what is in the pics

 

As long as you polish the holes... it ain't falling out.

I've got 5 friends with Grand Prix GTP's that have been running plugged holes with 2.55" pulleys for OVER 20,000 miles. Mine has been in for 5,000.

NOT TO MENTION the fact that if they did happen to fall out... they won't make it past the intercooler.

Haha, funny.

 

Any answer to my question? And the question is serious. If you look up this product there is quick steel and quick alu...

 

im scared to plug my silencer holes

 

Quicksteel is Hard Core and can be used to plug a hole in you Block - Rated to 500*F...

QuickAluminum isn't so strong. Its more for quick repairs to hold you over until you get to a shop.

QuickAluminum Review:
There's nothing to be scared of.

 

i still worry it will have a negative effect on performance

but lets not turn this thread into that argument

 

It actually will increase flow, efficiency, and performance. You won't be losing the air that is shooting back into the supercharger through the Silencer Holes.

 

How noticeable is the sound difference? I should grab one of the dB meters from work and test it.

 

Noticeable. One member couldn't hear his S/C because of his exhaust. He did the hole plug and not he can hear his S/C again.

As far as outside of the car goes... it starts to whine at a lower rpm and its much more intense.

 

exactly...

 

does the polishing and sanding of the letters on the inside like you did do anything...i had my supercharger ported but the letters were left there and it was not smoothed out...does that matter really
