6.0 SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION
6.1 Remove the engine lift eyelet at the front of
the engine, just above the exhaust manifold by
removing the bolt using a 14mm socket. Using
the two new flanged headed bolts supplied with
your kit, install these to the two bosses on the
side of your cylinder head. Leave at least 1/2” of
thread exposed on each bolt.
6.2 Bring the supercharger over to the engine.
Feed the throttle body end into the hump hose
already installed on the black plastic “air flow
meter to throttle body elbow” (make sure to slip a
fully opened hose clamp over the hose first).
Orient the supercharger so that you can slip the
large “keyholes” in the bracket attached to the
supercharger over the two bolt heads installed in
step #6.1. Make sure that the bolts move up their
respective vertical slots and seat against the
upper edge of the horizontal slots in the bracket.
Slide the supercharger towards the firewall as far
as it will go. Tighten down the two pinch bolts
using an open-end wrench. If you find that the
bracket/supercharger assembly collides with your
cam cover vent tube during initial installation, it
means you did not leave enough threads
exposed on the two main mounting bolts
installed in step #6.1. Retry it with the bolts fur-
ther out.
6.3 Swing the flat lower bracket up into place in
front of the supercharger boss. Locate the small
stamped throttle cable bracket from your kit and
thread the new bolt through the throttle cable
bracket hole, through the supercharger boss and
through the flat steel lower bracket. Secure with
the locking nut and bolt supplied. Make sure that
the head of the bolt is on the throttle bracket side
of the assembly. Leave the power steering pump
long bolt and nut finger tight (14mm heads).
6.4 Route your throttle cable so that it is looped
back toward the firewall, routing the cable just
behind the driver’s side headlamp motor. Install
the cable’s threaded end into the small bracket
attached to the underside of the supercharger.
Make certain that the cable/grommet is fully
nested within the slot (this may require some
muscle - we made it tight so your throttle cable
won’t ever fall out). Open the throttle by hand and
insert the cable end into the throttle spool. Make
sure that the cable runs in the center of the
groove of the throttle spool. If it does not, adjust
the throttle cable bracket left or right until it is cen-
tered in the spool’s groove. Have an assistant
operate the gas pedal multiple times to confirm
that the action is free and easy without binding or
interference. Make sure that the cable has a bit of
“sloppy” slack with the gas pedal released and
that full throttle is available when the gas pedal is
fully depressed. If it does not “flop” in the idle posi-
tion, you will have trouble setting your idle speed.
Make sure that the cable is run in such a way as
to allow for engine movement from side to
side.Make very certain that all throttle cable-
mounting points are secure - this installation
area is critical for safe operation of your car.
This bracketry has been carefully designed for
correct operation. It is your responsibility as
the installer to ensure that it is bolted together
successfully without binding or interference.
