RAM-AIR INSTALLATION
disconnect both batteries.
2.
pull the crankcase vent hose out of the
turbocharger air inlet hose, then loosen the
air intake hose clamp at the turbo compressor.
remove the air cleaner assembly from vehicle to
expose a hole in inner fender panel.
if the vehicle has a plastic elbow inside the
plastic adapter on the inner fender panel
(between the inner and outer fender panels),
remove this elbow by the following procedure.
This elbow may not be present in ’95 and newer
vehicles, however the banks ram-air inlet duct
can be installed as described in the following
step.
first remove the plastic tapered adapter that
connects the air silencer to the inner fender
panel. squeeze the sides of the adapter together
to free it from the panel. use pliers to pull out the
center button on the plastic retainer pin inside the
elbow, then remove the pin.
next, remove the two upper screws holding the
underhood light assembly to the inner fender
panel. also loosen the battery hold-down clamps
and remove one sheet-metal screw in the inner
fender panel near the front of the battery. See
Figure 1 . now remove the plastic elbow from
within the fender by pulling and wiggling it
rearward and toward the engine. This elbow is
part of a silencer about 16” long, and will require
quite a bit of effort to pull it free from the fender.
if it will not move at all, check to make sure all
sheet-metal screws noted were removed. The
forward most screw near the battery attaches
directly to this duct inside the fender and be
removed.

inner fender opening to replace the factory

inner fender bracket. push in on the center button
of the retainer pin to lock the pin in place.
