Hey folks, I'm posting here in order to have some answers to my questions and also have some comments.
Long story short, I bought the car last year at 100K miles, there was a good amount of mods done to it and the price was pretty good. Well there was some problem with a front MM race strut, the alternator died after one week and the TOB disintegrated in a month after the pruchase. At that point I've replace everything except the input shaft (10 splines is fine with my power level and driving habbits). Previous owner bought it like this 4 years ago from svt864 here. According to the seller and what I've found here, the car made 470/497 at Steeda Canada HQ on 94. I'm currently running a mail order tune cause I can only get 91 here and I've verified my AF and it's rich at WOT, so at least thats safe. I intend to do some logging and do a retune.
That being said, the blower always had a bad noise (from the snout). So this week I started removing the blower in order to rebuild the snout (easier to be done with the blower removed). Look what I've found...
So!
The blower, IC and intake is gunky as hell...to much blow by? I have a Steeda oil separator connected on the PCV on the driver side.
The blower was, I think, home ported, that I didn't know...
Do you have any Idea of the marking on the IC, was it there from the fab of the IC?
How can I clean the blower, is there any problem running some cleaner in it?
FYI, I will be using all new gaskets and will also be cleaning the lower IM, cause it's also gunky.
Feel free to pinch in!
