mender and tighten a plastic clamp on
each connection. (See Fig. 9-o for
plumbing schematic.)

E. Surge Tank Installation
1.
Using thread sealant, install the sup-
plied 1/2" NPT to 3/4" hose barb
straight fittings into the front and side
of the surge tank. (See Fig. 9-k.)
2. Drill a 5/16" hole 3/4" in front of the
hole that already exists in the driver’s
side shock tower. Install the supplied
1/4" screws through a washer, the
shock tower, a supplied .3" spacer and
into the surge tank.
3. Install a 90° hose onto the fitting on top
of the reservoir and secure with a
clamp. (See Fig. 9-l.)
4. Connect the surge tank fitting (pointed
towards the front of the vehicle) to the
hose elbow installed in the top of the
reservoir using a hose mender and a
section of the supplied hose. Install and
tighten a clamp on each connection.
5. Trim and connect a section of the sup-
plied hose from the 90° hose installed
on the CAC end tank to the fitting on
the surge tank that is pointed toward the
engine. Select the smoothest routing
that will keep the hose away from mov-
ing parts and secure the CAC end with
a clamp. Leave the surge tank end loose
until after the system is bled.
6. Plug the open fitting in the surge tank,
remove the cap and fill the system with
25%/75% coolant/water mix. Fill the
system slowly until it refuses to take
more coolant or coolant comes out ot
the open hose.
7. Uncap the surge tank fitting, connect
the open hose to it, and tighten with
clamp.
8. Loosely install the plastic cap.

fitting on the water cooler through the
two holes drilled on the passenger’s
side, and connect to the 90° fitting
installed on the CAC. (See Fig. 9-i.)

***NOTE***
Trial fit the surge tank by installing the rear mounting
screw through the existing hole in the driver side
shock tower. Close the hood, verify that it clears the
surge tank cap and proceed with step 2. If there is
interference, lower the surge tank and drill out the
mounting holes accordingly.
