Straight vs Curved Discharge

DiZzyBonne · September 18th, 2008, 04:48 AM

On centrifugal superchargers for our year Mustangs, do we use straight or curved discharge? Also, we use a reverse rotation supercharger as well, correct? Lastly, what would that equate do, clockwise or counter-clockwise? I'm assuming the latter, but I just wanna be sure. Thanks!

My dicharge tube curves, and yes reverse rotation...the blower is mounted backwards...so looking at it mounted, it spins clockwise.

After doing some more research, I think I figured it out. The supercharger itself is a straight discharge.

The end of the blower is straight.

The end of the blower is curved.
