Remove the original 6-rib supercharger pulley

from the supercharger and install the supplied

8-rib pulley (2A038-333) and secure using the

provided retainer assembly (8R101-002).

Remove the smooth (steel) idler pulley located

on the supercharger mounting bracket and

.875"OD x .663"ID x .140" thick spacers (2A017-

882-01) and Ø3.0" smooth aluminum idler

(4FU116-031) provided. Secure using the hard-

ware previously removed. (See Fig. 2-b.)

Remove the factory alternator pulley. Install the

supplied Ø2.5" 8-rib alternator pulley and secure

using the factory retaining nut.

Remove the smooth idler located just above the

spring tensioner and retain the hardware to be

reinstalled. Replace with one of the supplied

.875"OD x .663"ID x .140" thick spacers (2A017-

882-01 and Ø3.0" smooth alumiinum idler

(4FU116-031) provided. Secure using the hard-

ware previously removed.

NOTE: Refer to Fig. 2-c on Page 3, for the next few

steps.

the idler should be facing the super-

charger mounting bracket.

Using a 10mm socket, remove the

retaining screw securing the A/C pul-

ley outer clutch. Remove the snap

ring that retains the factory A/C pul-

ley. Remove and replace the factory

pulley with the 8-rib A/C pulley

(4FR016-021) provided. Secure using

the factory snap-ring. Reinstall the

outer clutch using the factory 10mm

headed screw previously removed.

Remove the spring tensioner retain-

ing screw and tensioner. Replace the

spring tensioner pulley using one of

the supplied .875"OD x .663"ID x

.140" thick spacers and Ø3.0" smooth

steel idler (4FL116-170) provided.

Locate the .280" thick spring tension-

er spacer and Pilot (4FL017-011 &

4FL017-021). Reinstall the spring ten-

sioner assembly using the factory

retainer and the tensioner spacer

and pilot provided. (See Fig. 2-g for

pulley orientation).

Replace the 2.6" 6-rib idler located above the

A/C compressor, using a .875"OD x .663"ID x

.140" thick spacers (2A017-882-01) and Ø2.6"

8-rib idler pulley (4FL116-160) supplied.

NOTE: This kit may include a smaller than originally sup-

plied supercharger pulley. Removal of the factory

sealed pulley will reduce the supercharger warranty

from three years to one year unless the supercharg-

er unit (with the original pulley still attached) and

new pulley are sent into Vortech for removal, instal-

lation 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.
