Going to be sending off the blower tomarrow for repair and I heard there is a way to make the car still drivable. I know I need to block the oil feed lines and also fab a air filter to the intercooler pipe. Anyone have more detailed info and or hints to do this? Thanks

 

What I do is , take out the whole oil squirter and just put in inside the oil return hose and clamp it down with the clamp thats on the hose . Easy as pie . I use a furnace filter and cut a square out of it and clamp it over the end of the MAF section of IC pipe . This way you dont have to suck air thru the IC and all the pipes .
Miight want to reset the ECU so it will run and idle better also .

 

Stay off the gas pedal as much as possible . Depending on how high your fuel pressure is to start with , that will make a difference on how rich it will run . The lower the better !

 

Thanks boss!

 

+1

it is drivable but remember your going to be adding allot of fuel around 3k and higher so I would drive it at low rpms,. nothing wrong with being rich

 

"I use a furnace filter and cut a square out of it and clamp it over the end of the MAF"

Any concern with the filter being sucked into the intake??

 

Use a good filter...not a cheap one.....and I clamp it on with a hose clamp

 

Thanks Booger. It was alot easier than I though and less painful than being without my car for 3 weeks.

 

It appears we have several McGuyvers among us!

 

You keep that pic on your computer ???? ready to post some where ? Or just to admire it ? lol

 

As devlishly handsome as he might be, he was simply the first result Google gave me.

 

Just to give you an heads up....when you get the blower back from Vortech make sure that you do NOT over tighten the oil feed nozzle or else it will break in half.

 

Ive had mine on and off several times . No problems...did you snap it in half ?

 

Never snapped mine, however it seems like everyday we are sending out replacement ones for customers and other dealers.

 

Thanks for the info

 

Just a little hint . Take out the oil squirter when you send the blower in . They will put a new one in the blower before they send it back . They have on mine several times now .

 

Guess what...lol . I was putting my blower back in tonight . Went to put in the squirter and snap....lol . Looking for an easy out right now...lol .
'Feel like an idiot now !!!!!!!!!

 

He jinxed you Boog. I sent mine without the squirter.

 

I got it out . Im still jinxed though . I had the shop put on a different pulley and they put it on backwards...lol . I needed the car for work tonight and had to put it all back together with out the blower.

 

lol...my Bad booger! Hey message me your address. I'll hook you up with a stronger one for free =)
