8. SUPERCHARGER MOUNTING BRACkET/PLATE INSTALLATION

Detach the factory wiring harness from the rear

of the front crossmember for mounting bracket

clearance. Push the harness down toward the

steering rack.

Remove the two factory M6 x 1.0 screws from

the passenger side front of the engine near the

crank pulley at the location shown in Fig. 8-a.

Locate the lower supercharger plate spacer.

This is a .75" thick aluminum spacer that is 2.9"

wide x 4.05" tall with two 1/2" round protrusions

machined into one end. Slide the two supplied

10 mm studs through the holes in the lower

plate spacer. With the studs located loosely

through the lower plate spacer, thread the two

studs into the front cover as shown in Figs. 8-b,

8-n, 8-o. This step must be done as described

because of the limited space available in the

engine compartment. Use a drop of blue Loctite

on the threads of the studs before threading

them into the engine. Tighten the studs into the

front of the engine by using a stud wrench, or

by temporarily threading two nuts on the end of

each stud and torquing. Remove the nuts from

the ends of the studs.

Attach the supplied 6 grooved idler pulley to the

main supercharger mounting plate as shown in

Figs. 8-c, 8-d, 8-e, 8-f. Slide one of the supplied

3/8-24 x 3.5" screws through the machined

bearing pilot, 6 groove idler pulley and steel

idler spacer (1.772" effective length x Ø.406"

through hole). Attach the complete assembly to

the aluminum mounting plate by threading the

3/8-24 x 3.5" screw through the plate and into

the threaded steel insert that is pressed into the

plate.

Attach the belt tensioner adjustment screw, ten-

sioner arbor and adjustment screw locator block

to the supercharger mounting plate as shown in

Figs. 8-e, 8-f, 8-g, 8-h, 8-i. Secure the assembly

to the plate by threading the two 1/4-20 x .75"

socket head screws through the plate and into

the adjustment screw locator block as shown.

Make sure the locator block is positioned as

shown in Fig. 8-h or you will experience oil feed

line clearance issues.

Slide the supplied smooth idler pulley and steel

idler spacer (1.772" effective length x Ø.515"

through hole) over the tensioner arbor that was

previously installed onto the mounting plate.

Install the 12 mm washer and 1/2-20 jam lock

nut over the idler and arbor. Do not tighten the

nut at this time. (See Fig. 8-f.)

(2000-2005 Models only) Remove the blue

plastic dust cap located on the 1/2" oil drain fit-

ting on the bottom of the supercharger. Attach

the supplied 1/2" x 18" fabric braided oil drain

hose to the supercharger drain fitting.
