14. HOSE ATTACHMENTS/EXTENSIONS
A. Connect the lower end of the supercharger oil
drain hose to the previously installed fitting in the
drain pan using the supplied 90° x 1/2" swivel
hose end. Hose routing must be downhill with
smooth bends and must not have kinks, sharp
bends or uphill sections. Trim hose length if
necessary. Secure the drain hose to the oil pan
fitting with a #8 clamp.
B. Connect the supercharger feed line to the previ-
ously installed flare fitting near the oil pressure
sending unit. Make a gentle forward loop around
and beneath the front crossmember. Secure the
hose with the tie wraps provided, routing it away
from chaffing and/or sharp objects.
C. Attach the supplied piece of 1/4" x 16" long hose
to the cylinder head coolant port that was previ-
ously connected to the factory vacuum/coolant
tubing junction removed in step 1. Attach the
remaining end of the hose to the corresponding
port on the throttle body. Secure both ends with
the previously removed factory clamps. (See
Fig. 14-a, 14-b
.)
D. Install the length of 1/2" x 36" hose to the valve
cover vent barb. Connect the opposite end to the
1/2" brass barb located on the supercharger inlet
elbow. Trim the length if necessary.
E. Attach the length of supplied 1/4" vacuum
hose to the fitting on the cover of the Vortech
compressor bypass valve. Route the hose
over near the fuel rail. Install the supplied 5/32"
-1/4" hose reducer into the end of the 1/4"
hose. Splice one of the supplied 5/32" brass
TEEs into the fuel pressure regulator/FMU
signal hose. Attach the compressor bypass
vacuum hose to the remaining leg of the 5/32
TEE using a short piece of 5/32” vacuum hose.
(See
Fig. 14-b
.)
F. Reconnect the two factory vacuum hoses that
were removed in Step 1. Use the supplied
lengths of 5/32" tubing for extensions if re-
quired.
G. Re-attach the pressure solenoid (that was
removed in Step 1) to the harness and vacuum
hoses. Use a tie wrap to secure the unit down
toward the crossmember and away from the
crank pulley. (See
Fig. 14-c.
)
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.
