Default engine rotation direction... question

I know the H22 spins CCW. This causes issues when looking at superchargers. My question is, which direction do other Hondas spin? Are all Hondas the same, or is only the H22 "backwards". The only one I know of for sure is the K-series and the S2000 - I believe they spin CW. But what about the B18C for example.

Hoping someone knows.

I believe all the older Honda motors prior to the new K series platform spun CCW.

What types are SC's are you looking at? Centrifugal, or Roots type blowers?

Roots at the moment, though if I can't package it, I'm left with centrifugal or turbo.

There's no point to a centrifugal supercharger. You'll just be left with the drawbacks of both systems (roots type sc and turbo). Plus, I'm not aware of anyone who makes one for the H22.

I know I suggested the roots type jrsc before, but as I think about it, it might not be a good idea since you track your car. IAT's get very very high, and the only company (LHT) that produces an active-cooler for it doesn't make a product for the H22.

^if you send your blower to Endyn, i believe their SC packages drop IAT temps A TON!

user geramy has an endyn blower package, and his IAT's were around 160 after a couple of dyno pulls.

p.s. and if IAT's are a problem, you could always do a water/methanol injection setup to turn on at a certain IAT Temp or boost level


IIRC all motors except the K20/K24 and F20/222 motors spin CCW

I absolutely agree with the centrifugal supercharger, seems like the worst of both worlds. If I went with the supercharger, I'd do a custom install - intercooled.
