Yea I figured the standard rotation would be the pro. I've only found a few gear drive set ups but they require reveres rotation. I was going to go with an f1a on a 402. But a friend has an f2 sit in his shop that I could have.

wait , you need a standard rotation for the gear drive to work , not a reverse one!

and if you can afford it , i really recomend going with a gear drive !

i "borrowed" a setup off a friend's car and a loved it! , and i still managed to use the stock radiator ( tilted a bit more) .

From the angle of your pictures it doesn't look like your pulleys line up.

You can do it, just takes a lot of custom work. I'll post a pic of how I set mine up but it's a reverse so you would have to turn the blower around for it to work with yours. Gear drive is your best option but that takes a bit of custom work to make fit as well. I only remember seeing one gear drive set-up on here and never saw it with the car put back together so I have no idea what he had to do to make it fit. All I really had to do with mine was move the radiator forward a couple inches and remove all the useless stuff like a/c, abs and power steering. Not even sure I needed to remove it all but I wanted it gone for weight saving. Here's how it came out:






And here is a vid to hear how it sounds, that F2 is a loud little f*cker

rwb , i t looks like that but in reality they do , i don't use a full width belt , just a 50 mm wide one , so half the crank cog doesn't get used

i had the gear drive on the car for a weekend , it fits using the stock radiator , yo just have to push the bottom side of it out like in the pics above . you will have some thing like 1/4 inch of clearance between the radiator an the volute housing ( closest point ).

i took a few pics but the camera was stolen before i could upload the pics,
but here are a few i took with me cell phone :





and uscg , you're confusing us , do you have a reverse rotation or a regular rotation head unit ???
if its a regular unit ----> gear drive
if its a reverse unit ---> belt drive like rufretic's setup or the one i pm'd you

hope this helps

big stick , i ditched the ac a long time ago :d
but in reality , i really beleive you can retain the condenser if you are willing to cut up your upper core support.

i had the ac working back when i had the F1-R on there.

I am sure that engine will either be running a lot of methanol or straight ethanol.

where does the meth get sprayed into the system? Just the injectors? Or will it be sprayed into the charge tube right off the sc'er outlet?

Doesn't it need a little time to cool the charge before it goes into the intake?


I;'m talking about both of those engines pictured, the one with the black charge tune mainly.

And is that top picture sc'er connected right into the crankshaft? No belt?
