OIL DRAIN LINE (ENGINE OIL-FED KITS ONLY. APPLICATIONS WITH

V-3 SUPERCHARGER SKIP AHEAD TO STEP 8)

A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it

is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.

Locate and centerpunch the hole per Fig. 6-a.

Drill a 1/8” pilot hole at center location.

B. Use the supplied 9/16” rotobroach to drill the

hole in the oil pan. Take care to break through

the pan gently and remove the cut out.

C. Pack the flutes of a 3/8 NPT tap with grease.

Tap the hole until the fitting can be started.

D. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach

inside the oil pan and retrieve any stray chips.

Apply a small amount of sealer to the new

threads. Apply more sealer to the supplied

3/8” NPT hex nipple and secure in the hole.

Make sure the seal is formed all around the

fitting. Install the supplied 90° elbow and 3/8

NPT x 1/2” barb fitting pointing forward and

slightly up.

E. Route the oil drain hose from the supercharg-

er to the barb fitting, attach and tighten the

hose clamp. (See Fig. 6-a.)
