Do you like it? eh?

Almost there- Apparently that hose that runs over the blower, tends to rub...this after about 100k of that rubbing. Little black smudges are from dirty fingerprints, they're gone now..

And on the car, with the coil pack lid done as well.

Whatcha think?

lookes good, but to bad its going to heat soak worse than it already did now, casue that coating is going to make the blower soak the heat not letting it out now. but looks bitchen

Karlen89 05-16-2010 04:56 AM

I don't worry too much about heatsoak...it's a 100k mile stage 2 car. :lol:

I'm not sinking too much more into it...I don't want to have to build the motor.

1badBlueberrySC 05-16-2010 04:59 AM

looks alright... not a fan of soo much color personally

Nick wants to do the valve cover in blue. :lol:

I haven't agreed to that just yet...I'm a K State fan, I can't have a red and blue motor. haha

1badBlueberrySC 05-16-2010 05:01 AM

Ah... boo I'm a KU fan... LOL

I did mine in black... with a laser blue coil pack cover and fusebox cover...

Karlen89 05-17-2010 02:08 PM

Bueller?

Nighthawk243 05-17-2010 02:27 PM

Is it just me or is that a filter on your oil cap location?

Are you guys serious???

That has been a modification on Higher HP LSJ's for a REALLY long time. REEEAAAAALLY long time.

LSJ's are bad about Crankcase Pressure under boost. Having that filter helps prevent things like the dipstick shooting out.

DSmastery 05-17-2010 02:38 PM

How does it help?

I edited my above post with why people do it. It helps by allowing some of the excess Crankcase pressure to blow out the filter.

Murdered SS 05-17-2010 02:44 PM

Ok thanks coo i didnt know that. Would you see any difference in a daily driver?
I dont have many upgrades .

Mine's a Stage 2 car. But I beat the shit out of it. :twothumbs

Staged07SS 05-17-2010 02:51 PM

You should have un-bolted the pulley. I see paint/overspray on the inside of it :( Other than that it looks good !!

I'm not a huge fan of putting coatings on the blower. It doesnt allow the heat to dissipate as quickly as a blower with out a coating.

I didn't have the puller for it, and I taped it up, but theres a couple spots I missed. :(

you'd see a breather instead of an oil cap

Replaces the cap. I do it to keep my motor alive.

To keep ur motor alive? do u see any performance difference?

Karlen89 05-17-2010 03:06 PM

It's not a secret million hp if that's what you're looking for.

Murdered SS 05-17-2010 03:08 PM

no I'm not im just trying to see if theres any difference thats all

I've only had the S/C since January... I was an L61'er in a G5 before that.

helps the pressure be released

so performance isnt sacrificed
no power gained, just constant power no lost

No, you probably wouldn't notice a difference.

That's why you get it Ceramic Coated with Thermal Dispersant.

You won't see your dipstick sticking out of the tube with Oil all over the engine bay.

There won't be a noticeable performance difference.

Yeah, I remember seeing you on the G5 board... but like I said these have been around a while. I guess if you don't pay attention to the other Models, you wouldn't know that.

Yeah, for real.

The proper way to do it, would be to upgrade the Breather on the back of the Valve Cover & on the Intake to a -10an fitting, and then run -10an line between them. That's how they did it in the Build Book, IIRC. And even better way would be to hook up a Vacuum pump to the port on the valve cover with a pressure switch, so that when your boost hits 10psi or so, it'll start sucking air. Crankcase Scavenging. Pulling solid vacuum in the crankcase has all kinds of good benefits. Even more so with boost.

One thing I would recommend NOT doing, is just putting a filter on that fitting on the back of the Valve Cover. That's a real easy way to get the back of your block covered in Oil/Sludge. Ask me how I know. ;)

DSmastery 05-17-2010 04:29 PM

haha well put, i asked my friend the other day what the breather was for and so i knew a lil bit today haha

I have been just running a Filter on the back of the Valve Cover until yesterday. I've now got a hose running off the valve cover to a Catch Can. I'm working on finding a pump, ATM. Looking to have a -10an fitting welded into the back of the Valve Cover, and then run a -10an hose from the valve cover to the pump.
