6. CHARGE COOLER INSTALLATION
A. Remove the coolant line attached to the intake
manifold (see Fig. 6-a). Remove approximately
2” from the bottom of the coolant line (to allow for
clearance of the cooler support bracket) and
reinstall.
B. Cut 4-1/2” off of the supplied piece of foam tape
and the remaining 7-1/2” in half. Thoroughly
clean the top portion of the cooler support bracket
with alcohol and allow it to dry. Following the
diagram (see
Fig. 6-b) attach the foam tape to
the top of the cooler support bracket. Trim the
excess from any over hanging edge.
C. Following the photo (see Fig. 6-c) install the
supplied cooler support bracket onto the front
passenger’s side of the intake manifold and
secure it using the provided spacer and 6mm
hardware.
Secure the lower part of the bracket to the front
cover’s 8mm stud using the 8mm nut and lock
washer provided.
D. Install the provided Ø2-3/4” x 2” sleeves onto
each one of the cooler ducts along with four #44
hose clamps (2 per sleeve).
E. Install the plastic discharge duct onto the throttle
body and secure with the supplied Ø4-1/2”
sleeve and two #72 hose clamps. (See
Fig. 6-d.)
F. Connect the idle air line and the bypass valve to
the duct as shown (see Fig. 6-d) and secure
using the #16 hose clamps.
G. Connect the bypass valve to the cast air inlet
duct using the supplied Ø1” x 6” hose and
secure using two #16 hose clamps.
H. Slide the Ø3” x Ø2-3/4” reducer sleeve onto the
plastic discharge duct and secure with one #48
hose clamp.
I. Slide one Ø2-3/4" x 2" sleeve and two #44 hose
clamps onto the discharge of the supercharger.
J. Following Fig. 6-d, attach discharge duct “A” to
the supercharger and discharge duct “B” to the
previously installed plastic duct leading to the
throttle body.
K. Set the charge cooler on top of the cooler
support bracket and connect the discharge ducts
to the charge cooler securing it with the previ-
ously installed hose clamps.
NOTE: The spacer is located between the
cooler support bracket and the top of
the manifold.
NOTE: Discharge duct “A” must be rotated
over enough so that the vehicle’s hood
does not come in contact with the duct.
