1.
Locate the charge air cooler assembly.
2.
Attach the 4.5" x 2" sleeve to the throttle body
and secure with a #72 hose clamp.
3.
Install the 1/2"NPT x 3/4" barb 90° and straight
fittings into the charge cooler as shown. (See
Fig. 8F-a.)
4.
Attach the long end of the 2.75" silicone elbow
to the cooler inlet and loosely install a #44 hose
clamp. The open end of the elbow should be fac-
ing up as it will be attached to the supercharger
discharge.
5.
Lower the cooler assembly into position. Attach
the open end of the previously installed 2.75"
elbow to the supercharger discharge and loosely
install a #44 hose clamp.
6.
Attach the cooler discharge to the previously
installed sleeve on the throttle body. Secure with
a #72 hose clamp.
7.
Tighten all cooler clamps at this time.
8.
Locate the remaining 3/4" molded 90° hose.
Trim approximately 5" from the long end and
attach the short end to the 3/4" x 90° fitting pre-
viously installed in the cooler. Secure with the
nylon ratchet clamp provided.
9.
Install a 3/4" hose union into the open end of the
previously installed hose. Attach a section of
3/4" hose approximately 32" long to the union.
Route the open end of the hose to the surge tank.
Using the remaining adel clamp and factory
hardware, secure the hose to the factory coolant
reservoir mounting location. (See Figs. 8F-q,
8F-b for assistance.) Secure all hose connections
with the supplied nylon ratchet clamps.
10.
Locate the supplied “S” shaped hose. Trim
approximately 1" from the short end and attach
it to the straight fitting previously installed in
the cooler. Install a 3/4" hose union into the
open end of the “S” hose. Attach a section of
3/4" hose approximately 24" long to the union
and route to the driver’s side and down to the
water cooler. Trim for best fit and connect to
the 3/4" hose union previously installed in the
90° short rubber hose attached to the top water
port on the CAC cooler.
11.
At this time, verify that all hose connections are
secure using the nylon ratchet clamps provided.
12.
(2007 Models Only)
To provide additional
clearance for the CAC, you will need to cut the
factory radiator hose approximately 4" from its
connection at the radiator. Install the supplied
Ø1.5" x 4" hose union and two #24 hose clamps.
Adjust to allow CAC clearance and secure. (See
Fig. 8F-c.)
