Anyone ever see this happen on a genv

[canthus90]

I know this happens on gen3 but i thought they fixed this
do I have to get these recoated now

They sat in a bucket of purple stuff degreeser for a week. Did this to my gen3 and it didn't do this also did it to both housings

Unless you have a crazy ass build, I wouldn't worry about it. Won't matter anyways.

i could be off the mark here, but the coating on the rotors plays a big role in the efficiency of the blower. the Heaton's are inefficient enough. unless its a stock build, i wouldnt use em. simple green or similar shit is very hard on aluminum.

 

[Handsome Jesus]

phatride is correct, the efficiency will be reduced. it'll still work though.

 

[canthus90]

Dang it what about that brake caliper paint

 

[Handsome Jesus]

wouldn't put anything in there except some kind of proven tough teflon coating like what was on there at the factory.

Probably wont notice the efficiency loss anyway. it'll just make some more heat.

they're junk man, hate to say, they use a special teflon coating on them rotors...can probably have them re-done, but it may not even be worth it. could be beter off buying new ones.

#&#@* knew I should have went turbo build

The coating doesn't do THAT much guys... They'll work just fine, it would only be noticeable on a big build.

I have limited knowledge but...supercharge + chrome = pussy

probably right. if you are doing a heads/cam/ic/genv....scrap em. if its a <3.4 build...id rock em

 

[canthus90]

Oh ya it was going to be a full build cam ic n*

clearance at the edges between the case and the rotors will be relativlely unchanged as they are worn to half thickness most of the time, the major difference is gonna be alot more clearance between rotor to rotor so more air is gonna be able to leak back that coating is pretty thick on the gen5's vs the gen3's i wouldnt be suprized if you now have nearly an extra mm of clearance

i never clean the rotors, i blow em clean and rotate a paper towel between the rotor ends when its out of the case to prevent them from knocking.

i only ever clean the case and thats usually a wipedown with brake cleaner and a clean paper towel

I ran mine like that and it seemed fine. My junk still ran 12s without an ic. I say run it.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

im not sayin i wouldnt use em....but i would toss those in gtpmike's old miff'd up case and snout from when the rotorpack caught a heavy dose of aluminum piston chunks.

but thats just cause id love to have a set of okayish rotors to stuff in it.

run em and spray that bitch with a 200shot....the fuel should help seal or at least restrict the gaps that the air is trying to get through to the low pressure side
