Locate the factory oil sensor on the driver’s side
of the vehicle near the oil filter.

Remove the sending unit and set aside.

Locate the supplied 1/4"NPT street TEE fitting.
Install the TEE in the same location as the factory
sending unit with the 1/4" x –4 x 90° installed on
the TEE at the location noted. (See Fig. 2-a.)

Attach the stainless steel –4 hose to the –4 fitting
installed in the street TEE. (See Fig. 2-a.)

Route the hose away from hot, sharp or moving
parts and move to the top of the engine where it
will be attached to the supercharger oil feed.

Reinstall the factory sensor in the branch of the
TEE as shown. (See Fig. 2-a.)

To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it is
necessary to make a hole in the oil pan. It is best
to punch the hole rather than to drill it.

Remove paint from the area around the hole.

Mark the oil pan 5/8" down from the oil pan
mounting rail on the driver’s side of the engine.
Measure forward 3/4" from the first bolt on the
side of the oil pan. (See Fig. 3-a.)

Use a small center punch to perforate the pan and
expand the hole. Switch to a larger diameter
punch and expand the hole further to approxi-
mately Ø9/16". Most punches are made from
hexagon material and may be placed in a socket
with an extension to make this procedure easier.

Tap the hole with a 3/8"NPT tap approximately
1/4" deep. Pack the flutes of the tap with heavy
grease to hold chips. Use a small magnet to check
for any stray chips.

NOTE:

The oil feed hose to the S/C will be
installed in a later step of the installa-
tion. Temporarily cap the open end of
the hose to prevent contamination to
the inside of the hose.

3/4"

5/8"

NOTE:

This method of rolling over the lip of the
hole and tapping it works very well if
carefully done and should cause no
problems.

Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Apply a small
amount of silicone sealer or teflon paste to the
new threads. Apply more sealer to the 3/8"NPT
hose fitting and secure in the hole. Make sure a
seal is formed all around the fitting. (See Fig. 3-
b.)

Drain the engine oil and change the filter.
