*** NOTE ***

Before installing the outer supercharger mounting

plate, the supplied accessory’s supercharger drive

belt must be installed.

*** NOTE ***

2001-2003 models must have the accessory drive

belt installed BEFORE the support bracket is installed.

*** NOTE ***

If possible, use a proper tubing bender for this step.

If one is not available, the line can be bent by hand,

but extreme care must be taken as the refrigerant

within the line is under very high pressure. In any

case, use a pair of heavy gloves and eye protection to

prevent injury in the event of a ruptured line.

D. Before installing the main supercharger brack-

et, the A/C refrigerant refilling port must be
bent from its upright position downward so
that the cap is facing the driver’s side fender.
(See Fig. 2.0-f.) Note that this operation will
be performed on all model years

except

model year 2000. This hose assembly will be
replaced with the provided A/C hose assembly.

F. Mount the main supercharger bracket using

the two 3/8-16 x 2.75" bolts and spacers in the
upper portion of the bracket. Install the 8mm
bolt and spacer in the lower middle portion of
the bracket. (See Appendix “C” for 1999
Models, Appendix “D” for 2000 Models,
Appendix “F” for 2001-2003 Models,
Appendix “E” for 1996-1998 Models.) Install
the lower bolt and two spacers. One between
the support and main brackets, the other
between the support bracket and the cylinder
head. (See Fig. 2.0-i.)

*** NOTE ***

1996-1998 Models Only - The A/C line bracket

should be placed between the spacer and the cylinder

head. (See Fig. 2.0-l.)

E. Install the supercharger rear support bracket

with the supplied 8mm bolt, leaving it finger-
tight. It will be necessary to move this bolt
when the main supercharger bracket is mount-
ed. (See Figs. 2.0-g 2000-2003, 2.0-h. 1996-
1999)
