fitting. Secure with a #8 hose clamp. Make sure
that the hose clamp housing is clocked down
toward the supercharger so that it will not cause
interference with the supercharger mounting plate
that is to be installed. (See
Fig. 8-j .)
H. Remove the blue plastic dust cap located on the
brass oil feed nozzle on the side of the super-
charger. Thread the supplied steel 1/8" NPT x
45° x –4JIC fitting into the supercharger oil feed
nozzle. Carefully tighten and clock the 45° fitting
as shown in
Figs. 8-j, 8-k . Use caution when
tightening the oil feed fitting, as the brass nozzle
may be broken if care is not exercised. Connect
the supplied oil feed line to the flare fitting.
Temporarily cover the open end from debris until
the connection is made to the engine in step 12.
I. Attach the supercharger unit to the mounting
plate as shown using the five supplied 3/8-16 x
1.25" screws with AN washers. The sixth super-
charger mounting hole should remain empty at
this time. (Refer back to
Fig. 8-e, and Fig. 8-k .)
J. Using two of the supplied 3/8-16 x 1.25" screws
with AN washers, attach the upper supercharger
support plate to the supercharger mounting block
as shown in
Figs. 8-l, 8-m . Thread the screws
down until the heads almost touch the plate/
washers. Do not tighten the screws at this time.
K. From the back side, slide the supplied 3/8-16 x
3.5" screw and AN washer through the top hole
(refer to
Figs. 8-n, 8-o ) of the upper support plate
and into one of the supplied Ø.875 O.D. x 1.858"
long spacers. Loosely mount the support plate
assembly with spacer onto the supercharger and
previously assembled main supercharger plate.

NOTE: When directed, it is important to follow the
suggestion: “Do not tighten the screws”.
Failure to follow this direction will result in
bracket misalignment and the possibility of
the VTEC solenoid not maintaining a proper
seal. Thread the applicable screws and nuts
in until the head almost touches down (.01-
.02" clearance). This will allow the bracket
to properly align itself to the engine and
other components in the assembly during
installation.
NOTE: Use only clean engine oil on the pipe
threads. Teflon tape or pipe sealant is not
recommended as it might loosen and cause
blockage of the small oil feed orifice result-
ing in possible supercharger failure.
