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.
