Silencer Holes on the S/C

[BAB02LIGHTNING]

I have question guys. Is there any gain other than louder to filling the silencer holes? Also is there any harm that can be done?

 

[BLWN DSG]

no and no. some will say that you increase heat but I would think you would be needing to spin the blower close to capacity to really cause heat problems.

All for the sound...

Does Steig fill in the silencer holes when you have your blower ported with them or do they just port the blower and match the TB?? Only reason im asking is because im thinking of sending mine off to them around the 1st of the year.

I have heard of people doing this then having the filler fall out.... n we know what happens next.. not worth it...

Fill em up!!! I would get a KB or a whipple but the eaton screams SOO loud with the ports blocked.

 

[red-light]

if u fill them properly it will never fall out.

id just have someone weld em...but thats me.

 

[EATONU]

There a how to on the best way to do this? Nothing like a pretty girl that screams louder than others ha ha. Buuuuut I don't wanna mess up a tolerance etc.

If they are welded the case in this area will warp or at least have a really good chance. Someone would need to check afterwards before the blower goes back on the truck to see if the tolerance is still there. Plus there will be weld on the inside of the case that will need to be cut out. It's not hard to do but just saying. Clearance should be .004" between rotor and case.

We do fill the silencer holes, as an option. Eaton stated to us they were put there just to silence the Eaton.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT WELDING! The Case Will Warp. Just my opionion from experience with the Eaton's and over 25 years of welding.

btw those are not correct rotor to case dimensions.

what happens next?

it falls on top of the intercooler and sits there

 

[z28Eater]

thats what i thought happened joejoe

 

[usaf_eagle]

filling the silencer holes will make it louder and make your S/C hotter.

I'd like to see your data supporting this.. I had absolutely no change in IAT 2 temps..

 

[five.slow]

my AIT2 temps stayed the same when i plugged my holes... no issues here. i think i have a post here with before and after data that i gathered myself.

 

[honda hunter]

I wonder what why Eaton said it would? how much louder is it?

 

[Cialis]

Yeah, Ive heard the heat will increase.
