SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION
7. SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION
A. Install the supplied 1/2" oil drain hose onto
the barb fitting on the bottom of the super-
charger and secure with the supplied #8 hose
clamp.
B. Attach the supercharger mounting plate to
the supercharger. Use five of the supplied
3/8" x 1.25" screws and washers. (See Fig.
7-a.)
C. Install the spring tensioner onto the super-
charger mounting plate using the supplied
3/8" x 2.25" screw and washer. (See Fig. 7-
a.) Install the spring tensioner into the low
mounting position.
D. Install the supercharger drive belt onto the
supercharger pulley so that the back side
will ride on the spring tensioner idler. (See
Fig. 7-c for belt routing.)
***NOTE***
When installing the supercharger assembly, keep in
mind that the supercharger belt will need to be routed
around the crank pulley and mounting bracket standoff.
(See Fig. 7-c.)
E. Attach the supercharger plate assembly to
the mounting bracket using the supplied
3/8"x 1-3/4" screws and washers. Install the
supplied 4" spacers into the two remaining
supercharger mounting plate locations and
install the supplied 3/8" x 5-3/4" screws and
washers. Tighten the screws.
F. Use a combination wrench on the spring
tensioner idler screw to draw the spring ten-
sioner as far away from the power steering
pulley as possible. Route the supercharger
drive belt around the crank pulley and
release the spring tensioner.
G. Route the free end of the oil feed hose to the
supercharger and attach using a 90° fitting in
the supercharger oil feed fitting.
***NOTE***
Make sure there are no bends, kinks or dips in the oil
drain line. The hose must maintain a constant “down-
hill” direction. A restriction in the drain path may cause
leakage and/or supercharger failure.
H. Attach the free end of the oil drain hose to
the previously installed oil drain fitting in
the oil pan and secure with a #8 hose clamp.
Trim hose length if necessary.
I. Use zip-ties as necessary to secure the oil
drain and oil feed lines away from moving
parts.
