You dont have to deal with the crappy blower outlet position that ATI gives from the factory. By loosening the 7 perimeter housing bolts, the blower outlet position can be rotated 360 degrees. This will give you a much better angle for routing the blower discharge to the FMIC and it even gives you 2-3" more clearance from the ground behind the air dam....

I rotated the outlet to face at about 8 o'clock and it gives the perfect angle for a 45 degree bend to come out horizontal.

Any pics of this?? Does it hurt anything and does Procharger reccomend this??? I had no problem with all my FMIC stuff.

powerdyne is also the same

As long as it doesn't hurt the way the unit's self-contained oil system works. I know nothing about the ATI's tho, something u may want to check.

Yes, you can rotate the volute to any position you need it at. Sometimes you my need to heat the volute some to get it to rotate (it's a tight fit on some cases), but there are no seals or anything to worry about. ProCharger does suggest this if you are working on a custom application or need to move the discharge for any reason.

It doesnt hurt anything at all. I talked to the ATI tech line about it. I only did it so that I wouldnt have to have such an aggressive bend right at the blower outlet. The stock ati outlet location is almost vertical. Rotating it clockwise one bolt position gives alot more ground clearance behind the air dam.

Here is an example using your pictures Kyle...

how funny, I thought everyone knew this??

it's called clocking the blower.

won't hurt a thing.

Is the tag on your blower still facing up?

It should be cause that part doesn't move when you reclock the volute.

I did this with the powerdyne but never thought about doing it with the D1-SC This will give me a lot more ground clearance....Thanks xssive My FMIC pipe sits low as is. This wil help a ton.

Very interesting. I had no idea this could be done. Thanks for the tip.

I also thought alot of people knew about this, but every FMIC setup I had seen thus far left it in factory location. I think alot more turbo experienced guys know about this as it is very common in that area...

xssive > When you loosen those 2 bolts, due you just turn blower? Or do you match up bolt holes and tighten it back up?

xssive

You actually loosen 7 bolts total. I could only point to those 2 in the picture. You loosen them all, and you will actually have to remove 2 or them completely to rotate the case. The case on mine spun freely. You will see what I mean. When you rotate the case, you will cover one of the holes that you previously used, and expose one that you previously covered...

Hate to sound stupid > just loosen bolts, not take all the way out? When you said "you will cover one of the holes that you previously used, and expose one that you previously covered..." > What do you mean? Do the bolts thread into a hole or kind of float? I guess what I'm not understanding is, when you rotate the blower, are you just move bolts around to angle outlet? This will not cause any oil to leak will it? Thanks for the help!!!!

There are 7 bolts total on my housing. You will loosen 5 of them enough to eleviate any friction for rotation. 2 of them will have to be removed completely because they would get in the way of the housing when you rotate it. When you do actually rotate the housing, one of the holes that was originally used will now be covered. ANother hole that was previously covered, will now be open. You just simply put the bolts back in any free hole that you can get the bolt into. Some of them cant be used becasue the housing gets in the way of the bolt. The bolts thread into the opposite side of the housing and there are washers which actually hold the unit together by clamping the two pieces...

You dont have to worry about any seals or oil. You are rotating only the volute which directs the air out. You arent opening the transmission part of the blower that is oil fed.

Thanks! This picture makes a lot more sense now.

I rotated mine to point towards the side of the car then just made a U piece to patch into the intercooler. It cuts the piping cown dramatically.
