I installed the wrong rotation blower on my GTO. So right now, I am looking at viable options to get this fixed. I have a CCW rotation unit that was intended for a vette. I've exhausted my options as far as having vortech make simple swaps as they want me to buy a new blower. I have access to a CW impeller. My question is: if I buy the correct impeller blade and use the same volute, would that correct my issue? Right now, the car isn't building any boost and I think it is attributed to the incorrect rotation. I am under the impression that the volute is only needed for the orientation of the engine and not the facilitation of getting air out of the blower correctly. Some who has a good physics background or knowledge in blowers chime in and please help me out with that.

IMO the discharge would need to be going the other direction too. If not, then the impeller would be trying to push the compressed air into/toward the smaller section of the compressor housing instead of out of the discharge horn.

^^agree^^
yeah i think in the long run you'll be better off just getting the right one to begin with.

I wish I could share that enthusiasm. Does anyone know where I can buy a CW pointing volute?

sounds like a bunch of hassle. then if something goes wrong, you cant even sell it. sorry this happened to you, but take a small loss on what you paid , get some money back, and do it right.

Not really, Just saw this thread and thought it was the perfect opportunity to ***** that particular picture hah..

I can take more, what would you like to see?

I'd like to see how you routed the discharge off the supercharger.
A few various angles would be cool also of the install.

Yours is the 1st I've seen of a non reverse install on a 4th Gen.
Very interesting. I like seeing things like this when people think outside the box.
