*A. Attach the supplied 1/8"NPT x 45° flare
fitting and oil feed hose to the oil feed
fitting on the supercharger. Rotate the
fitting so that it points forward, toward the
volute (intake) side of the supercharger,
perpendicular to the front cover. When
tightening the fitting, use a 1/2" wrench on
the oil feed base for support.
*B. Slide the supplied 1/2" oil drain hose onto
the supercharger drain and secure with a
#8 hose clamp.
C. Remove the A/C silencer and wiring
harness support bracket from the timing
cover stud. Remove the 3 timing cover
bolts/studs and the passenger side
alternator mounting bolt. (See Fig. 8.2-a.)
Install the supplied 10mm x 65mm socket
head bolt and washer in place of the upper-
most bolt/stud.

idler pulley with the supplied Vortech idlers.
Use thread lock on the bolts. Set the

Fig. 8.2-a / Timing Cover
NOTE: 2001 Bullitt applications require the
water pump pulley to be removed and
replaced with the unit provided.
NOTE: After removing the factory smooth steel
idler pulley, you must check the
clearance between the front cover
webbing and the supplied plastic pulley.
(See Fig. 8.2-a and 8.2-b.) Modify the
front cover if necessary.
WARNING: When threading the 1/8"NPT x 45°
flare fitting into the supercharger,
use engine oil on the pipe threads
for lubrication. Teflon tape, paste or
other sealant is not recommended
as it might loosen and cause
blockage of the oil feed orifice,
resulting in supercharger failure.
* Applies to "engine oil-fed" units only. V3 applications skip these steps.
