Want to paint my supercharger (candy blue with duplicolor metalcast) and my fuel rails (candy orange metalcast).
Was wondering the procedure to remove this parts. I've searched and I got a good understanding just want to be reassured I that I wont eff anything up in the process. Thanks :)
 


Well make sure you have a supercharger gasket (not garlock) Id get some red RTV too in case it wont seal. Before you take the fuel rail off, start the car. then pull the fuse for the fuel pump. when it dies, crank it over a few more times, then you can take it off. Id also get a torque wrench for when you put the blower on, and make sure the blower doesnt bind after you have it all bolted down. I think I used thread sealer on those bolts too, but i cant remember if its needed.
 
Guessing you have a gen 3 the fuel rails are attached with one 13mm in the middle of the sc and 4 10mm bolts on each corner of the rail. Sc is about 10 our so 10 mm bolts holding it down
 
have new injector o-rings and use lube, like some vaseline or something. could possibly change the supercharger oil while you have it off too.
 
yes you need to take it off... its needs to be cleaned and lightly sanded before you paint it.

tape off the bottom, and any opening. tape off the pulley too.
