2. Supercharger Reclocking and Reinstallation
A. Loosen and remove the six (6) 1/4-20 cap screws
and retaining plates that hold the compressor
housing to the gearcase.
B. Carefully rotate the supercharger volute to the
specified location as shown. (See Figure 2-a.)
C. Evenly retighten the six (6) cap screws, torque to
60 in/lbs (5ft/lbs).
D. Remove original 3.60” supercharger pulley from
the supercharger and install the supplied 3.33” pul-
ley.
E. Reattach the supercharger onto the bracket and
then remount the assembly to the engine.
Reconnect oil feed and drain lines.
NOTE: Included in this kit is a smaller than origi-
nally supplied supercharger pulley. This
new pulley is recommended to achieve
best performance results. Removal of the
factory sealed pulley will reduce the
supercharger warranty from three years
to one year unless the supercharger unit
(with the original pulley still attached) and
new pulley are sent into Vortech for
removal, installation and re-sealing. If
supercharger warranty is not a concern
or if the supercharger warranty has
expired, the pulley may simply be
removed and replaced with the new part
supplied. Hammering/prying etc. on the
supercharger and/or pulley will cause
damage to the parts. Light heating of the
supercharger pulley with a propane torch
(if the pulley is tight on the shaft) will aid
removal. A return authorization number is
required before the supercharger and
pulley are sent into Vortech. Call the
Vortech service department at (805) 247-
0226 for return authorization number.
Return freight (ground) will be paid by
Vortech.
NOTE: If the compressor housing does not rotate
freely relative to the gearcase, DO NOT
FORCE IT. SERIOUS SUPERCHARGER
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. The machined
mating surfaces are designed to prevent
pressurized air from escaping and have
minimal tolerances. If the housing will not
move or is very tight, contact Vortech
Engineering immediately at (805) 247-
0226 and ask for our service department
for further assistance.
