my blower is making a lot of noise, so im gonna replace the coupler. im buying the green zzp coupler and zzp supercharger oil, and i know how to swap the coupler. but what should i use for the gasket when resealing it? ive done a bunch of searching and cant seem to find and recommendations. i would prefer to buy it from zzp so everything arrives at the same time. i see that they have a coupler swap kit as an option with the coupler, does that include the sealant? it comes with a syringe which i dont need, and it says a small tube of silicone. is that silicone what i need to reinstall the snout?

 

the syringe is to suck out the old sc oil since it smells like dead cats and when it spills on your engine bay or whever you change it you will hate yourself.
The silicon is to lube up the coupler. kinda likew the blue goop

 

if there isn't a matched gasket for it at all, just use the high temp RTV gasket maker.

 

Ya, just use the copper RTV. Mines held up without a hint of a leak.

i have some rtv water pump and thermostat housing silicone sitting around. would that do the trick?

 

Okay so I'm bringing up this old thread because I haven't found anything that says where to apply the rtv sealant. Is it applied in the bolt hole of the snout or around the snout making contact with the body of the supercharger? I'm getting ready to install a new coupler so I wanna be prepared to do it all in one shot. So if any of you guys can help me with this situation I'd really appreciate it!!

 

Anyone?? :/

 

Where the front housing meets the body of the blower. Basically anywhere oil can leak out you need to seal it up. It doesn't take very much, the machining of the blowers is very good and the surfaces are almost perfect but oil will seep if there's nothing there to stop it.

 

Okay thanks man I appreciate it!!
