Im no engine expert, but why's the blower all the way to the right?

50 hours of cutting? Must be some high quality meth!

He just made a bracket that mounts the blower so the drive belt can reach it. This is an interesting setup, I actually thought about a way to do this with a blower off a T-bird years ago.

I see the mounting bracket that he made but how/where does the air go into coming from the blower? it seems to have an upper intake manifold in place already... [Confused]

I spent a good 5 minutes trying to figure it out. Looks like the blower is sitting on a manifold of some sort. If you look to the lower right of the blower, you can see a round flange, I think that's the outlet for the compressed air.

That's pretty cool. I think the pressurized air from the blower may pass through a FMIC or something on its way back into the intake manifold. You can see the discharge tube under the blower, which circles around to the passenger side like usual.

Wonder how a hood closes over it.
