500 bucks for what for yall to recoat it?

 

I think he meant that the $500 is for the repair bill to fix a blower that was not done right.

 

I'm curious also, for different reasons. Getting a lot of miles on mine, want to split it to look at, possibly clean, the heat exchanger in it.

 

Powdercoating requires curing in an oven. The curing process (heat) can warp the metal. Thus the reason the are machined after powdercoating, to place a flat surface on mating parts. Therefore you run the risk of warping the metal and loosing the engineered tolerances.

I thought you had this for sale?

 

What kinda oil do I need?

 

150 ml of Gm supercharger oil.

 

Thanks.

 

Is there any reason that you would need to service the intercooler? Possibly being clogged from the coating on the rotors?

 

I cracked mine open today. I was doing it really slow so I could take note of were everything came from. Once I took the bolts out the nose. I used a rubber mallet and a platic punch to crack the nose lose. Once the nose was off it puked every were. Then I used a plastic wedge to pry the last plate off. Once it was lose I slowly backed it out since the rotors were connected to the plate.

I was looking at the internal heat exhanger and it looks to be sealed to the manifold. I wouldnt mess with that thing unless you knew you could reseal it back to the mani. And I know mine has at least 27k on it and the rotors looked to have no defects at all as far as coating goes.

 

The Lightning guys do it all the time and the intercoolers look like crap, coating and varnish of some sort.

Thanks for the info. Knew sealing was important. How did it look? Anyway to clean it and not remove it?
