STILLEN 370Z Supercharger System - Announcement!!!

1slow370 · 07-03-2014, 11:41 AM

when round orings go square with frayed edges it is almost a sure sign of to thick of a ring or too shallaw of a groove, o-rings need only have 10-20% compression on a face seal so if it were a 2.0mm oring it needs a groove that is 1.7mm deep. Since it is a low pressure application it really need be only 10% if it were for the oil system then i would say 20-25%

The O rings included in the supercharger kit are square, not round.

The images posted above were posted by Whiddles and illustrate what they look like after he cleaned off the RTV silicone which was improperly applied.

So the O rings are square? Really your manifold has a circle grove in it for the gaskets and the stock TB's use O circle gaskets Why would yours be square?

I even went back an looks at kit and the mani had circle grooves?
