h bar removal

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

How hard is it to remove the h bar from a ported blower? Ave been trying.to get a ic ported blower for 3 weeks and im thinking of just taking my h bar off the one i have so i can install my Damn intercooler. I have a dremel and how long would it take?

[Juanmiguel]

should be fairly quick. I've done similar stuff with just a hacksaw to the TB in around an hour. It should be around the same with a dremel.

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

Not too bad. How should i.go.about doing it? And what diesel acc. Should i use?

Heres my current ported case by reptile.

that's a lot of material to take out with a dremel. you can do it, but its gonna take a while.

take it to someone with a lathe and theyll do it in 5 minutes.

You can use a cutting wheel and try to cut it off instead of grind it off. Then smooth it out afterwards.

i ported my blower with a dremel, it took a while but it got the job done.

Don't you mean a Mill? A Lathe will cut stuff that is round.

The hardest part in Milling the "H" bar is the setting up the machine and holding the S/C somehow to the Mill Table. I have done it several times, it just take a little while to do it.

It can be done with a Dremel, just get the right bit to do it.

Pneumatic grinder would be faster than a dremel.

So far......

OMG i hate it. Its gonna take a wile but it will be done and i can finally finish my install.

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

So heres where im stuck at for the moment reason why....i ran out of bits for my dremel. My question is can i install the blower like this untill i get new bits and gasket and finish it up? The h bar is half way grinded down.

[Juanmiguel]

hmm not sure, why not get more bits? Have you ported the LIM intake too? I think it's kind of pointless having a hbar less removed SC with the stock lim intake.

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

Yes im doing this because im installing a zzp stage 2 intercooler.





I cant get any bits because my impala is basically torn apart engine and bumper and i have no way to go buy any.

[copgtp]

Yea sure you can install it again with the H-bar like that.............But I wouldn't bother installing that IC though, since you're just going to pull it off again to finish..........

Oh, and I'd expect the turbulence that the half-grinded H-bar is going to cause will actually decrease your performance, but I'll let the experts chime in on that.

[JoRoW99]

I'll be running a half grinded h-bar when I top swap (not my fault)

[GOTIT4CHEAP16]

lls might as well wait untill a ride comes home because the only gaskets i have are the garlocks zzp sent me i was gonna use for the intercooler
