I want to build a centrifuge blower one day like the one that was in mini world/magazine some years ago. Only issue is finding a big counter-clockwise rotating truck turbo.

I think i read that article the other day. With a massive converted turbo hanging off the front and a whole load of custom piping. Looked very nice.

Btw, yes i do have a flag.

Thats the one i was thinking of. The way they said it, it didnt sound all that hard to do. Run a belt off the crank and mount it all with a bit of care and your sorted.

I'm not keen on all the openings into the clutch area, what happens if you degrease your engine or you spill some brake fluid or oil :?: no more clutch that's what happens.
But with saying that it still is an impressive build.
