Here is a picture of the driver's side rotor installed the correct direction with vents forward

Remember as we spoke on the phone Monday night, the slots and vents sweeps backwards, as if they are 'twisting' under theoretical acceleration

Craig-

I dug up Rick's original thread and he clearly states vanes forward, opposite of how I thought they should be and how we were discussing

So that's how I installed them as other folks on the forum show them that way too.

See post 49 here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-gt2-...rnative-4.html

Yes Craig. Please clarify. I installed mine per Rick's original instructions with the slots pointing forward.

Then stay with what Rick says for his own rotors.

My car had the rotors installed backwards when I bought the car in 2005 - 514HP 2650 lb 930 with Big Reds --- and the fluid boiled because the rotors were pumping air backwards and the scoops trying to push the air the opposite diection.

Thus, the equation =d damn hot rotors!

Hey Guys, sorry for any confusion, please always look at the INTERNAL vanes...they should always sweep in the original direction...

I thought with slotted rotors they always go forward since the vanes match the slots. Otherwise you wouldn't be scooping air into the rotor.

Okay, here is a picture from the DeMan post. Pictured is a drivers side front with the vanes facing forward.
Is this correct???

I don't have any original rotors to look at for refrence.

Hey Guys,

You must look only at the internal vanes...they should be sweeping backwards....like in the direction of rotation...not to scoop air, but rather in the direction of flow...

I just found my original set and the internal vanes do sweep backward.
When I bought the DeMan rotors, each box was labled left and right and that is how I installed them (even though they look backwards because of the slots) the internal vanes are facing forward. Again, I installed them as directed.

How many Rennlisters have these rotors and how many are running them as instructed - which seems to be backward?

Where will I buy my next set of rotors, not sure, especially if we cannot get a straight up ANSWER.
