A. Disconnect the connectors attached to the
oxygen sensors on the catalytic converter
assembly.
B. Unsecure all hardware and brackets securing
the catalytic converter.
C. Disconnect the EGR tube where it connects
to the EGR control valve toward the rear of
the engine.
D. Manipulate the catalytic converter to either
side to get a clear view of the oil drain loca-
tion.
E. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it
is necessary to make a drain hole in the
engine block skirt. Locate and center-punch
the hole in the exact location as shown per
Figs. 2-a, 2-b. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole at the
center location.
F. Use the supplied 9/16" rotobroach to drill the
hole. Take care to break through the pan and
gently remove the cut out.
G. Pack the flutes of a 3/8" NPT tap with grease.
Tap the hole until the fitting can be started.
H. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach
inside the oil pan and retrieve any stray chips.
I. Apply a small amount of sealer to the threads
of the supplied 3/8" NPT hex nipple and
secure in the new hole. Make sure that a seal
is formed around the fitting. (See Fig. 2-a.)
J. Apply sealant to the opposite side of the fit-
ting and install the supplied 3/8" x 90° fitting
on the end of the hex nipple.
K. Apply sealant to the threaded end of the sup-
plied 3/8" x 1/2" barb fitting. Install this fitting
into the 90° fitting. Orient the fittings to point
upward towards the driver’s side. (See Fig.
2-a.)
L. (ZX3 Models Only) Resecure the catalytic
converter and all brackets back to stock loca-
tion, reconnect the EGR line back to the EGR
control valve. Reconnect the oxygen sensors
and reinstall the heat shield.

get sufficient room for drilling the oil
drain.
