CHARGE AIR COOLER INSTALLATION
9. CHARGE AIR COOLER INSTALLATION
A. Cooler Core Installation.
1.
Using sealant, install a 1/2" NPT to
3/4" barb 90° fitting in the top cooler
end tank hole so that it points down-
wards.
2. Install the supplied bypass valve with
the supplied hardware onto the cooler
so that it points to the front of the vehi-
cle.
3. Using sealant, install a 1/2" NPT to
3/4" barb fitting in the bottom cooler
end tank hole.
4. Using sealant, install a 3/4" 90° fitting
in the 1/2" NPT hole near the bypass
valve and point it so that it will be fac-
ing towards the back of the car when
the cooler is installed. (See Fig. 9-a.)

5. Install the supplied 3/4" 90° molded
hose onto the fitting installed in the
previous step so that it conforms tightly
to the cooler and will point up to the
Idle Air Control (IAC) hose that was
disconnected from the air box.
6. Install a 3" sleeve on the cooler inlet
and a 2-5/8" elbow on the passenger’s
side cooler outlet.
7. Install a 2-5/8" elbow on the driver’s
side throttle body and secure with a
supplied clamp.
8. Install the aftercooler core assembly
between the supercharger discharge and
the throttle body. First, attach the 3"
sleeve on the supercharger to the cool-
er, then slide the cooler onto the elbow
installed on the driver’s side throttle
body. Lastly, attach the remaining
elbow to the passenger’s side throttle
body. (See Fig. 9-b.)
9. Verify that the charge air cooler has
sufficient clearance and tighten the sup-
plied clamps on all of the sleeve con-
nections.
10. Install the supplied 90° x 3/4" hose
with the short leg trimmed as short as
possible onto the straight fitting
installed in the cooler. Point the hose up
towards the throttle body area and
install and tighten the clamp.
11. Trim the hose installed in step 5 and
connect it to the IAC hose using one of
the supplied hose menders. Install and
tighten a clamp on one end of the hose
mender and use the factory clamp on
the other end.
12. Connect the supplied 5/32" vacuum line
to the fitting on the bypass valve and
route it to the capped vacuum nipple
behind the driver’s side throttle body.
Remove the cap and connect the hose.
13. Using the supplied 1/4" hardware, bolt
the power steering cooler to the bracket
on the bottom of the CAC.
14. Thread the air temperature sensor
removed from the air box into the hole
located on the CAC discharge duct.
Attach the electrical connector to the
sensor and secure the wiring harness
that the sensor is connected to so that it
can’t contact any moving parts.
15. Install the supplied air filter onto the
bypass valve and tighten the clamp.
