Whoo!

 

This intrigues me greatly but seems risky at the same time not only for the risk of foreign debris flying through your engine but even more so if you still have a factory warranty the last time I had my car at the dealer they were combing that thing over to find a reason to void my warranty but then again its probably not something they would think to check for and I'm sure it sounds completely bad ass I'm totally on the fence about this one

 

Its pretty safe. I'm sure they wouldnt go through all the trouble of taking off your supercharger to look for a very seldom done mod. If you bevel the holes on the rotor side of the housing like I did the quicksteel will absolutely never fall out.

 

is this the silencer holes???? ^^^

 

Theyre taped off, underneath the tape in that pic.. don't try and fill the bearings at the back. You'll definitely have some scrap metal on your hands if you do lol!

 

ok i just got done doing this and now my belt (or pulley) squeeks??? my dad was TRYING to help and i think he just fucked it up. but any ideas?

 

Sounds like the quicksteel is rubbing on your rotors... take the SC off and check it over. You might have fucked your car up...

 

How long is needed after you plug the holes before you can put the s/c back on?

 

Probably at least 5 hours, I'd give it an overnighter (12).

Sounds like an epic fail.

Either take it apart again and make sure nothing's rubbing against the s/c rotors or throw on some belt dressing and call it a day. +1 if you think I'm talking about salad dressing and actually pour some wishbone on it... Meh...probably wouldn't do anything if you did.

 

The quicksteel takes a 1-2 hours tops to completely dry.

 

I give it a week MAX, the belt breaks.

It's on wrong

 

Take the passenger side wheel well cover off and check to see if the belt is on the crankshaft pulley right. That same noise happened to me after a dealer changed my belt tensioner. Then my belt shredded on one side. Does the belt squeek right as you touch the gas?

Yes that is tape over the holes on the rotor side of the housing.

Nah I think that would make a ridiculous racket not a squeak. Kind like rattle rattle scrape clang boom.

 

lol. it was the belt. it was not lined up on the grooves just perfect. but its all good now. sweetness and loud

 

Yeah this car is such a pain in the ass with the belt. Get a smaller pulley and it goes on real easy though =)

 

so does the rotor part slide out and you just fill the 2 holes thats it? seems too easy hah.

 

Yeah its that easy. But to really do a good job you have to prep it well.

 

You guys know that you can fill the silencer holes without draining the snout oil right..?

I put a C clamp on the snout to hold it in place against the "rotor pack" side and was able to simply separate the SC body from the rotors without fear of pulling off the snout and losing the oil.

BTW though I have had the snout apart when I replaced my coupler with a ZZP unit, and more than 3.4 ounces did drain out... I let the snout sit upside down for a couple hours while I was porting the SC inlet and outlet, and the amount of oil that came out was very close to the 6 ounces that I had purchased from ZZP. For that reason, I filled it back up with the full ZZP recommended 6 oz...

 

Yeah I know that we dont have to drain the oil. I just did it because I felt that I may as well change it since I was in there anyway. 6 oz may have can out after waiting an hour but when I did it approximately 3.4 oz came out. So that was all I put back in. I wasnt going to sit there and let it all drain out. I'm not patient like that.

 

Well good enough. Just soo everyone knows that the oil change isn't necessary since nobody knows the right answer to the amount.

I am not patient either, but it took a couple hours to do a big ass port job on the blower inlet so it would match good to my LS4 throttle body...

 

i would only put as much back in that came out. if 6 came out put 6 back in obviously..if only 3.4 came out then thats what your gonna put back in.

 

i really wanna try this but its alot of work...

My Injen intake made my S/C wine easily twice as loud... get that first if ur thinking about doing this mod before you **** your **** up big time...

 

i cant seem to get to the belt tensioner it is like blocked off...do i have to have a 15mm wrench that has a bend in it? you said you could use plyers but i dont see how that is possible. bought the quicksteel but i cant get belt to losen

 

this just came to mind will this increase the decible levells to where it will hurt your ears in the long run? anyone ran a db meter n see

 

Your kidding right? I hope so

 

im not why do this mod if it will do harm on yourself. just because it gives you 2hp but it ruins your ears its not worth it.
