A. Place the oil drain hose onto the supercharger

drain fitting and secure with the supplied #8
clamp. Arrange the clamp housing so that it will
not interfere with the mounting plate when
installed.

B. Lower the supercharger down onto the mounting

plate while routing the drain hose through the
mounting bracket and around the A/C compressor.
Secure the supercharger to the mounting plate
using the supplied 3/8-16 x 1" screws and AN
washers.

C. Connect the lower end of the drain hose to the

fitting in the drain pan. Hose routing must be
downhill with smooth bends and must not have
kinks, sharp bends or uphill sections. Trim hose
length if necessary. Secure drain hose to the oil
pan fitting with the supplied #8 clamp.

D. Attach the 1/8 NPT x 45

brass fitting to the

supercharger oil feed fitting. Use a 1/2” wrench to
hold the feed fitting while tightening the 45

fitting.

Attach the previously installed oil feed hose to the
supercharger.

E. Attach the supplied idler pulley to the supercharger

using the supplied spacer, dust shield and M12 x
50mm screw (place the spacer in between the
supercharger and the idler pulley). (See

Fig. 10-c

orifice resulting in possible supercharger
failure.
