Thread Injection Nozzle assembly into

the air intake duct. Cover open end of the

90-degree Push-Lock fitting to avoid debris

entering intake duct. See Figure 27

Boost Reference Hose

: If your vehicle is equip-

ped with a late model Banks Monster

Ram, you do not have to drill and tap

your intake manifold as the Monster

Ram has the proper threaded ports.

1.

The boost reference hose allows the

injection controller to have a boost pres-

sure signal without using a manifold abso-

lute pressure (MAP) sensor. Installation

requires that the intake manifold be drilled

near the manifold outlet or use existing

port if available. It is recommended that

the manifold be removed from the engine

to thoroughly clean out all metal chips

from drilling. All metal shavings must be

cleaned from the manifold to avoid engine

damage. See Figure 28

2.

Mark location on intake manifold where

boost reference fitting (P/N 92301) will be

mounted so that it will not interfere with

any engine components.

3.

Use a center punch to mark the hole

locations and keep the drill bit from wan-

dering. Drill a 11/32” hole in intake mani-

fold at marked location perpendicular to

manifold surface. Deburr sharp edges.

4.

Use 1/8”-27 NPT tap to thread air

intake duct. Ensure tap is perpendicular

to air intake duct surface to avoid leaks.

Check the thread depth as you tap by

periodically removing the tap and screw-

ing the fitting into the tapped hole. The

fitting should thread in 3 to 3

turns hand

tight. Do not install the fitting in place at

this time.

: Running the tap

too deeply can prevent fitting from

properly sealing.

5.

Inspect intake manifold gasket and

replace if damaged. Thoroughly clean

intake manifold with solvent to remove

any debris.

: Failure to remove all

metal chips could result in cata-

strophic damage to the engine.

6.

Apply provided sealant tape and install

threaded adapter of boost reference fit-

ting into intake manifold.

7.

Reinstall the intake manifold. Torque as

specified in service manual.

8.

Secure boost reference hose (P/N

94445) by sliding the nut and collar of

boost reference fitting onto boost refer-

ence hose. Press end of hose into adapter

in intake manifold and slide collar and nut

to end of hose. Tighten nut to secure hose

to fitting.

: The other end of boost

reference hose will be connected to

injection controller, once installed.
