Some of you know and some of you don't know what has been going on with my car. The blower bearings were making noise so I bought a new blower from Jim. Now on Sunday mike(speedy108) and I installed the new blower with out a hitch it took us from 10:30 to about 5pm to get it off switch out all the parts to the new blower and to reinstall it and get her running. So mike and I took the suspected blower apart. The oil in the blower was pretty clean but stunk horribly bad. there were some signs of metal in the oil but I could not see where any of the bearings looked bad. The new blower makes no noise at all!!! good thing. Now here is a question if anybody knows. My original blower has very silver highly polished rotor assy. Now the blower that mike has and the one that Jim sold me has dull grey rotors. Why are they different??? thanks for all the replies

How did the rotor look on the original blower when you installed it? I would assume its polished looking because the coating came off of it.

No the coating did not come off of it it looks the exact same as it did when I bought it. The rotors look like a polised aluminum wheel. they are shinny as a mirror
-
Did you buy your original blower new or used?

Is that YOUR blower max psi gt? Whosever it is looks like they did some hard boostin'.
-
Yea, it lasted good. I ran the little M62 at 21psi for about 10,000 miles or so.
Ha! No, its not mine, i got it off the ENDYN site [img]tongue.gif[/img]
-
nobody has a clue about this?
-
maybe I can get speedy108 to bring the blower back so I can post some pics so you all see what I am talking about!!!

the blower was new from JR. the car runs but not good. I am having some issues with the smc. It has all sorts of idle problems and driveability issues. I am just saving for a hondata from you so it will run properly. I am really tired of this bandaid shit. Also I need to check my belt tension. I am only seeing 7psi but I do not hear any belt slippage. I have also since the installation of the new blower and SMC PLUS have had all sorts of random codes being thrown. random misfire #1, #3, #4, IAC malfunction, System too rich, system to lean. Secondary o2 sensor(and I have an 02 sim), and some others that have slipped my mind.

Jon,
Every GEN III or GEN IV blower I have ever seen has a Teflon coating on the rotor lobes... which is a medium grey in color. Have you asked Jackson Racing about this issue ??? Did you buy the blower NEW from JR or another vendor... say ENDYN ??? Doesn't Larry use a different coating process to encase the rotor lobes ?!?
Just a long shot...

By the way...
How does the car run with the new blower ???

Wow, i never knew a simple JRSC system could be soo complicated? [img]redface.gif[/img]

I talked to Tony Tutogi from Magnuson today and asked him about it, he said that the older blowers like Jon has, had polished rotors. Ithink the rotor are normal, it just needs new bearings and seals.
BTW Jim, I gave him your phone # because he was very interested in the stepper pulley. He said that they can't find any pulley to raise the boost, that fits like it should from Jackson. So I would expect a call from him in the future if I was you.

Just remember not to talk to JP @ magnusson he will give you different answers at different times. When I told him I was spinning the blower to 11 psi he told me I would have rotor flutter and the rotors would hit and self destruct. Humm My rotors didn't have a scratch on them??? They look as good as the day I took it out of the plastic bag. strange?

Thanks Mike. I would love to talk shop with the guys at Magnuson.
