10. AIR INLET DUCT

A. Attach the appropriate fitting into the 1/8"

NPT bung on the plastic air inlet tube:

a. 1993-94 models - 1/8" NPT plug
b. 1995-97 models - 1/8" NPT x 5/32" 90

fitting

B. Slip the 3-1/2" x 2" sleeve onto the

supercharger inlet using the supplied #56
clamps. Slide the short end of the 3-1/2"
plastic elbow into the sleeve. Rotate the
elbow so that it points downward in
approximately the five o'clock position
(viewed from the front).

C. Mark and drill four 1/8" holes to mount the

plastic air inlet tube by placing the tube and
bracket assembly on the bottom of the
driver's side frame rail. Position the tube
mounting flange in the center of the rail (left
to right) and in between the anti-roll bar
mount and the radiator core support. Secure
the assembly by installing the supplied #8
sheet metal screws into the frame. (See

Figure 10-a.

)

D. Reinstall anti-roll bar with the factory

hardware.

E. Slide the 3-1/2" x 17-1/2" flex hose onto the

supercharger elbow and the air filter tube.
Secure with the supplied #52 clamps.

The MAF plug harness (1993 models are

not equipped with MAF meters) must be
lengthened to accommodate relocation of
the MAF meter using the supplied 30"
lengths of wire. Carefully cut the MAF wires,
add heat shrink tubing and solder extensions
into place.

G. Install the 3-1/2" x 2" sleeve, MAF meter

(directional) and air filter to the open end of
the air filter tube. (See

Figure 10-c.

) Secure

all pieces with supplied clamps. Reconnect
the extended MAF wiring connector to the
MAF unit.

H. Install the air filter onto the MAF meter and

secure with the clamp provided. Attach the
supplied air filter cover to the top-half of the
air filter.(See

Figure 10-b.

) The cover must

be installed so that rain water etc. cannot
drip onto the air filter. 1995-1997 Models
Only: Attach the 5/32" distributor breather
line to the fitting located near the MAF meter
on the air inlet duct.
