I am having some stuff powder coated and am wondering if having my super charger powder coated will hurt internal seals on blower? Anyone have had this done? pics and or comments!!

 

Don't see it being a huge problem though it may run slightly warmer. Please tell me you have the satin finish as it would be a shame to powder coat the polished version.

 

Why run the risk of running warmer just for the bling factor even if its only a degree or 2 its not worth it

 

i would call vortech. you have to bake PC pretty warm, I'd double check those seals will be ok

 

There are performance coatings available for things like that. A company called Endyne use to port and coat Jackson Racing SCs for the Honda community I'd start there, or I'd be willing to bet something like the coating I have on my Intercooler would help the same on a SC it's a ceramic compound that assists in heat transfer.

 

Powder coating is typically done at 400F FYI. I would be inclined to say that powdercoating the case without disassembling it would be a bad idea. You can do the volute without issue though by simply removing it.

 

I was thinking same thing. I feel that you all have confirmed my theories. My s/c blew a few years ago and every time Vortech fixed it , it blew again. Finally they sent me a new one. That was a hassle and don't want any problems. I feel that baking the coating on may compromise the seals and lead to failure. I figured that someone on this site must have had it done. And No the s/c is satin, I should have spent the little extra to get chrome finish.

 

ummm, i was thinking the same.. and that's why i bought it satin, looking to PC the blower. but then i thought about it, and i think the best thing to do is jet coat it would be the best thing to do.

have u thought about that?
