Well, I can't really wait to show this sweet thing off, so you get a few cell phone pics...I'll post legit pics tomorrow night.

Before



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

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

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

Nick wants to do the valve cover in blue.

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

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.

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.

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.
