10. CHARGE AIR COOLER RADIATOR INSTALLATION
A. Attach the supplied brackets to each side of
the CAC radiator as shown in figs. 10-a and
10-b. Remove the 8mm screws from the A/C
condenser & install the CAC radiator to the
condenser. Remove the two small plastic panels
from the front bumper cover as shown in Fig.
10-c.
B. Connect the water pump discharge to the bot-
tom hose barb on the CAC radiator using the
supplied 90º molded hose (and additional 3/4”
hose if needed). See Fig. 10-f (on the next page)
for CAC hose routing.
C. Attach two 90º molded hoses to the CAC core
& secure them with nylon ratchet clamps. Point
the two hoses towards the front of the vehicle.
(See Fig. 10-d)
D. Locate the 3/4” x 150º molded hose & attach
it to the upper hose barb on the CAC radiator.
Connect the other end of the 3/4” x 150º hose
to the 90º molded hose on the water inlet fit-
ting (upper fitting) on the CAC core using the
supplied hose menders & 3/4” hose (cut hose
to the appropriate length). Secure using nylon
ratchet clamps. Run the hose along the top of
the bumper beam. (See Fig. 10-e)
E. Using a hose mender, attach the 3/4” hose to
the remaining 90º molded hose on the CAC
core. Run the 3/4” hose parallel to the previ-
ously installed hose, routing the end of the hose
behind the drivers side headlight, up towards
the drivers side valve cover. Attach the other
end of the 3/4” hose to the upper fitting of the
previously installed surge tank & secure with
nylon ratchet clamps. Use zip ties to secure the
two hoses running along the top of the bumper
beam.

tem with 25% / 75% coolant/water mix. Check
