8. SUPERCHARGER MOUNTING BRACKET/PLATE INSTALLATION
Fig. 8-a
Fig. 8-b
Fig. 8-c
Fig. 8-d
A. Detach the factory wiring harness from the rear of
the front crossmember for mounting bracket clear-
ance. Push the harness down toward the steer-
ing rack.
B. Remove the two factory M6 x 1.0 screws from the
passenger side front of the engine near the crank
pulley at the location shown in
Fig. 8-a
.
C. Locate the lower supercharger plate spacer.
This is a .75" thick aluminum spacer that is 2.9"
wide x 4.05" tall with two 1/2" round protrusions
machined into one end. Slide the two supplied 10
mm studs through the holes in the lower plate
spacer. With the studs located loosely through
the lower plate spacer, thread the two studs into
the front cover as shown in
Figs. 8-b, 8-n, 8-o
.
This step must be done as described because of
the limited space available in the engine com-
partment. Use a drop of blue Loctite on the
threads of the studs before threading them into
the engine. Tighten the studs into the front of the
engine by using a stud wrench, or by temporarily
threading two nuts on the end of each stud and
torquing. Remove the nuts from the ends of the
studs.
D. Attach the supplied 6 grooved idler pulley to the
main supercharger mounting plate as shown in
Figs. 8-c, 8-d, 8-e, 8-f
. Slide one of the supplied
3/8-24 x 3.5" screws through the machined bear-
ing pilot, 6 groove idler pulley and steel idler
spacer (1.772" effective length x Ø.406" through
hole). Attach the complete assembly to the alu-
minum mounting plate by threading the 3/8-24 x
3.5" screw through the plate and into the threaded
steel insert that is pressed into the plate.
E. Attach the belt tensioner adjustment screw,
tensioner arbor and adjustment screw locator
block to the supercharger mounting plate as
shown in
Figs. 8-e, 8-f, 8-g, 8-h, 8-i
. Secure the
assembly to the plate by threading the two 1/4-20
x .75" socket head screws through the plate and
into the adjustment screw locator block as shown.
Make sure the locator block is positioned as
shown in
Fig. 8-h
or you will experience oil feed
line clearance issues.
F. Slide the supplied smooth idler pulley and steel
idler spacer (1.772" effective length x Ø.515"
through hole) over the tensioner arbor that was
previously installed onto the mounting plate.
Install the 12 mm washer and 1/2-20 jam lock nut
over the idler and arbor. Do not tighten the nut at
this time. (See
Fig. 8-f.
)
G. Remove the blue plastic dust cap located on the
1/2" oil drain fitting on the bottom of the super-
charger. Attach the supplied 1/2" x 18" fabric
braided oil drain hose to the supercharger drain
