Route the Vortech supplied accessory drive
belt around all engine pulleys except for the
water pump pulley. Lower the
supercharger/bracket assembly into place
and route the belt around the supercharger
pulley and the relocated factory idler. (See
Fig. 8.1-d.) Insert the alternator spacer and
secure the supercharger/bracket assembly
with the supplied fasteners per Figs. 8.1-e,
8.1-f. Use a 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet to
release the belt tension. Push the belt over
the top radius of the water pump pulley and
release the tensioner.
*I.
Secure the oil drain hose to the mounting
bracket using the supplied adel clamp, #10
bolt and washer. (See Figs. 8.1-a, 8.1-e.)
*J. Route the oil drain hose down to the oil pan
tube previously installed. The hose must be
routed downhill, free of dips and kinks. Trim
hose end if necessary, slide it onto the
drain tube and secure with a #8 hose
clamp. Support the fitting in the oil pan with
a wrench while tightening the drain tube
fitting.
*K. Route the oil feed hose next to the drain
hose, down to the feed fitting and secure.
Use tie-wraps to fasten the lines together.
NOTE: It is imperative that the tensioner does not
become overloaded when being pulled down
during belt installation. Bending of the
tensioner may cause belt throwing/shredding
problems when vehicle is driven at high
engine speeds.
