Pepco Supercharger Orientation on Engine
|
I have a Faegeol 44 in my Hotshot and want to install a Pepco Supercharger on this engine. Looking at the front of my engine it has clockwise rotation when running. However, the Pepco Supercharger I purchased has a counterclockwise rotation in order to work properly. Am I missing something? Are there two kinds of Pepco superchargers, made for different rotations?
Thanks, Jeff

Never mind my question below. I watched an animated video and discovered that the lobes compress the gas mixture against the walls of the supercharger. So my supercharger should work fine with clockwise engine rotation.

Oops! Silly me. I watched an animated video illustrating the operation of this type supercharger, and it operates by compressing the gas mixture against the walls of the supercharger. I thought it compressed the gas mixture in the inside of the lobes.
So based on the video, the Pepco supercharger will work properly with the clockwise rotation of the engine. I will let you know how it works out. Thanks Jeff

Dan, I guess it depends on the condition, and what kind of parts come with the supercharger (intake manifold, intake port, exhaust port, pulleys) Anywhere from hundreds of dollars to thousands. Can you send me a photo? Jeff jeffalyon@... Sent from my jphone

@jeff Hi Jeff, I have a Pepco here at the shop, for a Crosley. If you rotate the blower clockwise, it should be obvious if air is exiting from the manifold, or the carburetor. If it's coming from the carb, the manifolds can be swapped to correct that. Everything else remains the same.
Call me if you still have questions
