It seems as if the tip of the supergcharger is pointed downward a lot more than all others. Is it the same bracket with new bolt holes threaded?

matty

Thats Stephen Max's blower, he cut a hole and put his charge pipe down below across the front of the car to make the charge temps lower.
Its clamped at the disscharge of the blower and pointed downward

What do you mean? I can see where the coupler attatches, but it seems the the WHOLE blower was tilted clockwise - doesnt it?

matty

iTrader: (54)

A little bit yea, but if you look at the plate and the front of the blower, the feed line goes in at the same angle and the front two mounting holed on the blower are correct..its a tricky angle to look at I guess

another good thing to look at is the Vortech Information plate..its in the right spot

you can clock the blower which ever way you want. there are multiple mounting points on the blower.

|Bijan|

iTrader: (12)

Maybe I just need to be shown how the blower is clocked. I see how the info plate is the same. But I dont see how the compressor (I guess) attatches to the info plate structure. Or how it's adjusted.

Obviously Steve did it, but I'm just new to seeing his setup.

Is nice to see everyone is doing their own thing with these SCers. Stephen thats nice. Congrats all of you

The scroll portion of the blower is held against the housing with tabs, so all you have to do is loosen the tab bolts and you can rotate the scroll any which way you please.

In an earlier incarnation, I had the scroll pointed slightly up:

iTrader: (13)

stephen, are you talking about those small allen screws? i just thought it was the part where the mounting plate fit.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

That's right, the small allen screws. There are 5 of them spaced around the scroll.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

By the way, Steve, I goofed and edited your post by mistake instead of quoting it. Took me a while to correct the mistake, in case you got a bunch of email notifications.

slimer

iTrader: (13)

thats fine. when i was taking the blower out, i was looking at those and thought that they held the case together.

chris'smax

iTrader: (3)

So if you loosen these 5 allen bolts, then the compressor will be able to rotate? Or am i missing something?

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

Well, there are also the same size allen bolts that hold the two gear housing case halves together, but they are on the backside of the blower.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

The scroll will rotate relative to the gear housing.

OT, but Stephen, what do you do with what looks like an oil pressure sensor switch?

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

I measure oil pressure going into the blower.

slimer

iTrader: (13)

its an oil pressure sender isnt it?

|Bijan|

iTrader: (12)

Damn I had no idea....I was looking at it and I said to mylself....something doesnt seem right. Stephen youve got an extremely nice setup.

How many and what angle pipes did you use?

Nismotech1

iTrader: (1)

thats very smart stephen, who sells the sending unit?

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

That's the sender to the Autometer oil pressure gauge.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

Basically, a short straight section from the blower to a 45 deg bend, a 90 deg bend in the foglight area, a long pipe to the next 90 in the driver's side foglight, a 45, a short straight piece and another 45 to get up to where a PRCAI intake would start, and then it's the PRCAI all the way to the throttle body. All 3" diameter stainless pipe.

There was a great demonstration of clocking the blower on Two guys garage several weeks ago. Where were you all in my "Reclocking blower" thread?

matty

iTrader: (54)

All you gotta do it loosen those allen keys and that outer plate turns ??

-matt

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

Well, sorta. You use an allen key to loosen the allen bolts. Then you can turn the scroll.

cardana24

iTrader: (81)

Did you ever do any tests to see if you were getting any better air flow by having the outlet in different positions? Mine is set in the stock position and I have always felt like I am loosing flow from the S/C going straight into a 90

Broaner

iTrader: (10)

Is there an o-ring in there which can be damaged? I want to remove my scroll to polish it but not if there is a possibility of needing a new seal.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

I haven't done any tests, but if you believe fluid mechanics theory, you are losing flow. I did this mainly to get the crossover pipe away from the hot engine/manifold/radiator area.

Stephen Max

iTrader: (59)

My blower did not have an o-ring, although I retrofitted one later. If you get the allen bolts loose enough, you won't damage the o-ring.

Steph, if you have hi-res pics of your new setup, will you email me some at bijangxe@yahoo.com ?

im still stuck on this.

also, do the tab bolts have little brackets on them?

on the v2 do i have 6?

JAY25

iTrader: (38)

That is all you will need to connect the piping. No need to get bent over on what material is the stuff made out of. As long as it can handle over 10 PSI it should be fine. Those couplers can hold well over 20PSI

slimer

iTrader: (13)

i was thinking that instead of the z piece that stephen used.

matty

iTrader: (54)

Im kinda confused on how that outer face turnes and how much its aloud to turn ?? when you loosing or Take those allen screws all the way out or just loosen them, does it then turn ?? I dont wanna jsut jump into this without knowing what I need to do...

Will the blower have to come off the plate to do this ??

I was planning on turning it up a tad bit when I put in my new charge pipe to get rid of that 45.

-matt

slimer

iTrader: (13)

i kinda want this because i would like to retrofit projectors and there is no space there with the cefiros.

matty

iTrader: (54)

Do you have the Ebay link to the peice you used originally for the cross over, over the engine from the Z...it was like 30-40 on ebay. I cant find it

-matt

slimer

iTrader: (13)

the part that i posted is what stillen uses for their silicone replacement.

matty

iTrader: (54)

Yea i know..im talking about the Z part that is on Ebay...flex section of intake tubing...

Stephan...is that section sterty enough to hold up the charge pipe ?? or will i need to make faseners ?
