6. OIL DRAIN LINE (ENGINE OIL-FED KITS ONLY. APPLICATIONS WITH
V-3 SUPERCHARGER SKIP AHEAD TO STEP 8)
A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it
is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.
Locate and centerpunch the hole per Fig. 6-a.
Drill a 1/8” pilot hole at center location.
B. Use the supplied 9/16” rotobroach to drill the
hole in the oil pan. Take care to break through
the pan gently and remove the cut out.
C. Pack the flutes of a 3/8 NPT tap with grease.
Tap the hole until the fitting can be started.
D. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach
inside the oil pan and retrieve any stray chips.
Apply a small amount of sealer to the new
threads. Apply more sealer to the supplied
3/8” NPT hex nipple and secure in the hole.
Make sure the seal is formed all around the
fitting. Install the supplied 90° elbow and 3/8
NPT x 1/2” barb fitting pointing forward and
slightly up.
E. Route the oil drain hose from the supercharg-
er to the barb fitting, attach and tighten the
hose clamp. (See Fig. 6-a.)

IMPORTANT: Oil in the supercharger is gravity drained to the
oil pan. Trim the supplied oil drain hose as nec-
essary so that it is continuously sloping down
towards the oil pan. Avoid dips, kinks etc.
