INSTALLING A SUPERCHARGER… AT 239k MILES… IN 2023.

[TNFZJ]

M22 bolt. My kit came with the grade 8, but I wanted to make sure I had the correct length/pitch.
Sold in packs of 5. If anyone needs 4 big ol bolts, let me know. Haha

2 odd sized hoses that HPS didn’t offer. I was able to source at my local auto parts store.

This coolant pipe was hand fabricated for me by someone in the community.

This is the vacuum hardline. Also fabricated by hand for me. A rubber hose could have been used in its place, but I am fortunate to have it.

Living near the ocean, I wanted to ensure corrosion will be prevented as much as possible. McMaster-Carr has a good selection of 316 Stainless steel hardware not available local to me.

316 Stainless steel nyloc nuts can be hard to find.

 

[TNFZJ]

316 Stainless steel hose clamps.

I may run into interference issues with the clamps. I won’t know until installation day.

3” diameter silicone hoses. The longest hose you see will be trimmed down to the correct length.

 

[TNFZJ]

3.5” to 3” reducer hose

 

[TNFZJ]

These clamps seem to be a bit wider than the standard clamps. I may have to rethink which clamps I use.

You may find the need to use a hump hose coming off the supercharger plenum for better alignment than a straight section.

Initial test fit is a success.

 

[TNFZJ]

The 5/8ths Adel clamp fits perfectly over the coolant hose

Is there a wiring diagram for the installation? I can't wrap my head around how the components all fit together
