7. CHARGE AIR COOLER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
A. CAC Radiator Installation
1.
Install two of the supplied 1/2"NPT x
3/4" straight barb fittings into the sup-
plied CAC radiator.
2. Position the radiator as shown. (See
Fig. 7-a.) Position the radiator as close
to the vertical core support as possible.
This will allow for additional water pump
clearance.
3. Use the supplied nylon mounting kit to
secure the CAC radiator. Do this by
pushing the four nylon connectors
through the CAC radiator, a piece of
foam and then the condenser. Do not
push in all the way (to avoid hitting the
vehicle’s radiator).
4. Remove the top mounting screws from
the condenser and hood latch. Pull the
condenser forward until the snap con-
nectors can be installed. Tighten the
connectors and trim excess.
5. Re-install mounting screws.
B. CAC Water Reservoir Installation
1.
Rotate the upper radiator hose clamp
away from the passenger’s side. Put the
supplied water tank bracket into the
area in front of the windshield washer
reservoir.
2. Trial fit the plastic tank into the bracket,
position for best fit, and mark the brack-
et hole locations.
3. Remove the tank and drill a 1/8" hole at
each of the marked locations. Install the
water tank bracket using the supplied
sheet metal screws. (See Fig. 7-b.)
4. Using sealant, install a straight 1/2"NPT
to 3/4" barb fitting into the bottom of the
water tank which has only one 1/2"NPT
hole. Attach a length (~3') of hose to
the fitting and secure with a plastic
clamp.
5. From the engine compartment, feed the
hose straight down between the body
mount and the plastic fender liner below
the installed bracket and lower the plas-
tic tank into the bracket. Secure the
tank with two 1/4" screws.
6. Install a supplied 1/2"NPT x 90° fitting
into the top of the tank using sealant
and point towards the engine.
C. CAC Water Pump Installation
1.
Trim the supplied short rubber elbow so
that the water pump discharge can be
connected to the lower fitting on the
CAC radiator with the pump body posi-
tioned below.
