Are the following statements true when trying to understand the clock vs. counter clock definition?
When looking at the headunit in this position: Impeller at front and the discharge tube at the top:
Discharge Outlet pointing to Right = Clockwise rotation
Discharge Outlet pointing Left = Counter-Clockwise rotation?
The F-Body V9 G-Trim is a clockwise setup?
TIA!

Thx.
I need to call them tomorrow for a couple other things too.
Trying to sell my S-Trim to a Lightning guy when I buy my T-Trim, but am not sure they rotate the same direction. I think they are opposite.

I thought that you were going to have Vortech rebuild your SQ S-Trim into a SQ T-Trim?

Mmm, I don't want 3 weeks downtime.
So I'm going to buy a new V2 SQ S-Trim, send it in for the T-Trim V2 SQ upgrade then sell my other S-Trim and just swap them immediately.
Vortech is being kinda dumb in not selling me a V2 SQ T-Trim outright. Also you can purchase the headunits at lower price elsewhere. Also the Lightning guy was interested, so it kinda worked out.
But I think our head units rotate in opposite directions.

Ya, just been crazy bz here.
Finally got all of my belt/pulley issues ironed out.
Just some weird politikal thing.
They will sell a V2 SQ S-Trim outright, or a V1 T-Trim outright but won't let you order for a V2 T-Trim Hyrbid outright. You have to send them one to 'upgrade'.

S-Trim to T-Trim upgrade was $900 or so I believe. Actually worked out a nice deal with Vortech on the upgrade as a direct swap. Just need to find a home for my S-Trim in about 3 weeks.
My above guess about rotation was correct.
If the gears face the engine and the impeller faces the nose, you have a CCW blower.
The gears face the nose and impeller inlet faces the engine, you have clockwise.
At least for clockwise rotating engines like GM/Ford (all?).
The direction the output tube points when looking at it face on into the impeller shows you which direction the SC rotates. Pointing Left = CCW, Right = Clockwise.
So, I can't sell it to the Lightning guy.
Will find a home somewhere.
Will sell fast for $1000 if anyone is interested, please PM.
Very low mileage. 200 miles. Had 1 external cross thread issue that was fixed with a helicoil and is a minor defect (external bolt hole). Everything else is perfect. S-Trim is polished.

I called Vortech about the upgrading my V2 SQ S trim to the T trim hybrid and they said it couldnt be done
. They said all that they could do is give me a credit towards a T trim. They said it would fit, but Id need a new inlet to the blower since the intake is bigger.

I haven't called yet to get mine done but I know for a fact that Vortech will do it. A friend of mine just had it done to his and got it back from Vortech last week.

Well answer in more detail in a bit.
Ask for Jamie in Tech, he is the Tech Manager.
Doing the S-Trim to T-Trim upgrade uses your existing gears and replaces the Volute and Impeller.
Cost should be about $950 for the S-Trim to T-Trim Upgrade (Not G-Trim, sorr).
