    I'm actually going to be painting my ported m62 supercharger in the spring and I decided to go with high heat paint in a gloss aluminum color.

    • @Toys4Life

      The heat's not a problem, I've used regular enamels for all kinds of brake calipers and engine parts with no issues. The problem is if you get any fuel leaks on them at all even just a few drops it can melt away the non-catalyzed spray can paint.

    I vote for full polish. Just hit it with light polish once in a while, and use flour to clean out the nooks and crannies, then hose it off.
    An alternative is natural with a clear powder coat. Looks good, keeps a nice sheen and stands up to gas and oil. A little simple green and hose it down every so often.

      @@Toys4Life I had polished blowers on my race engines and they were actually pretty easy to keep up. Those housings are pretty hard and hold a shine.
      My only complaint with powder coat is there are a zillion colors to choose from! You could literally match it to your favorite tie.
      They would first lightly sand blast your case so it would be virgin aluminum, nice and bright. Then color or clear.

    There’s still a lot of meat to get rid of ,my advice will be to take the tip of the triangle all the way up to the where the line ends , another suggestion is to port and polish the throttle body

    Pontiac engine blue metallic. How does this porting operation compare to switching to the Gen 5 blower for added power?

    • @Toys4Life
      @Toys4Life  2 года назад

      That is a nice blue. They say it gets you closer to the Gen 5 but not quite. Keep in mind the Gen 5 requires the new blower, new or modified lower manifold, Northstar V8 throttle body (to do it right) adapter, and new mass airflow sensor and a new tune . It is an excellent update although I have never seen a quality back to back track or dyno test to really give an accurate number. I will be testing this as I proceed because I am really curious - plus any mod I do, I want to validate it after the fact to see if it worked. I will be doing this at the track to see if the car an run more than 114mph in the 1/4 in 11.8 seconds.
