Install the silicone and fiber insulating

sleeves removed with the factory heater

power supply studs into the thru-holes in the

banks heater housing castings. See figure 13.

Install the heating elements and ceramic insulator

assemblies into the top of the heater housings.

Install the power supply studs, mica insulating

washers, flat and lock washers, and nuts into

the heater housings and through the heating

element coils. The heating element coils will have

to bent slightly to line up the holes in the coils

with those in the housings. Check that there is a

mica washer on both top and bottom side of each

stud against the housing where the stud passes

through. Re-stake the stud threads with a chisel

to prevent loss of the nuts after assembly.

Install a 10 - 32 x

3

4

inch hex bolt, No. 10

washer, ground strap and jet-locknut

through the side of each heater housing. See

figure 11. bend the heating element coil slightly to

install the bolt through the slot in the ground end

of the coil. Tighten the bolt and nut to ground the

coil and ground strap against the heater housing.

Check that no part of the heating element coil

other than the ground end comes in contact

with the inside of the heater housing. bend the

other (power input) end of the coil as required to

provide clearance. See figure 14.

Set a heater housing gasket

and the rear heater housing casting in place upon

the manifold baseplate. Note that the gasket goes

on one way to match the outline of the baseplate

flange. also note that the rear heater housing has

a machined flat area and two threaded holes in

the front surface of the housing. See figure 11.

Set the other heater housing gasket

and front heater housing in place on the

baseplate. It may be necessary to slightly bend

one injector tube to clear the front corner of the

forward heater housing. The injector tube must

not contact the housing after assembly. bend the

tube as little as possible to obtain about

1

-inch

clearance to the housing. Use a smooth, rounded-

edge pry tool to avoid nicking or gouging the tube.

Slip a

washer on one of the

x 5-inch

hex bolts, then apply a drop of Loctite to

the first few threads and slide the bolt into the

rearmost long bolt hole on the banks TwinRam

manifold. Set an air inlet manifold gasket on top

of each heater housing, then set the TwinRam

manifold in place while guiding the bolt through

the heater housing and gaskets. Use extreme care

not to tear or damage the gaskets while installing

the bolts as boost leaks can occur. Thread the

bolt into the baseplate finger-tight, then install

washers and apply Loctite to the remaining three

5-inch hex bolts and thread them into the baseplate

through the manifold, heater housings and gaskets.

Use pliers to bend the upper end of each heater

housing ground strap to line up over the adjacent

corner bolt hole. Install a

washer on two 3-inch

hex bolts and thread the bolts into the baseplate

through the ground straps, manifold, heater

housings and gaskets. Install a

washer on the

remaining two 3-inch

hex bolts, apply Loctite

and thread the bolts into the baseplate through the

manifold, heater housings and gaskets. Torque all

bolts in the pattern shown in figure 15. Tighten all

eight bolts to 20 lb-ft, then in 5 lb-ft increments to

35 lb-ft, each time using the pattern shown.

once the bolts are torqued, slide one of the

factory injector tube spacers between the

rear heater housing and the three injector tubes, so

that the spacer is positioned over the two threaded

holes in the housing. See figure 11. Install the other

factory spacer half, and the factory clamp plate

to the heater housing using two 10 - 24 x 1–inch

bolts. when tightening the bolts, adjust the position

of the clamp assembly to center the heater coil

ground nut between the tubes. The tubes must not

be allowed to vibrate against this nut. once this

position has been established, remove each bolt

one at a time, apply Loctite and tighten.

Tighten all 12 injector tube nuts to 22 lb-ft.

using a 19mm or

on a torque wrench. Install factory injector tube

clamp hardware onto the new bracket at the front

of the baseplate and tighten.
