H. (Aftercooled kits only.) With key on, make sure after-
cooler water pump (if equipped) is operating and
that water is flowing through the surge tank. Fill as
necessary. If water is not flowing, remove aftercooler
supply hose (attached to water cooler) and lower
until water flows out of the hose. This should prime
the pump. Reconnect hose to aftercooler. Verify wa-
ter flow. Do not run the water pump for extended
periods (30 seconds or more) without water flow.
Fill the aftercooler surge tank frequently until the
level stabilizes.
I.
With engine running turn steering wheel in both
directions. Check power steering hose connections
for leakage.
J. For off-road and high RPM use, the ignition timing
should be set to 12° bTDC by following the procedure
in the Honda Shop Manual. For emissions legality, a
boost retard ignition may be installed or the timing
should be set to the bottom of the factory specs. In
all cases, if detonation is detected, discontinue hard
use until the problem is fixed.
K. belt slippage is usually accompanied by a squealing
noise at high RPM and a leveling off or fluctuating
boost pressure. If belt slippage occurs, tighten ten-
sioner as follows:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Loosen the 5/16 nut on the outside of the belt
tensioner plate until the tensioner stud is just
loose. Loosen the jam nut on the tensioner
bolt.
3. Thread in the tensioner bolt until the idler moves
1/4”.
4. Tighten the nut securing the idler stud. Tighten
the jam nut on the tensioner bolt.
5. Test drive the vehicle and repeat steps until belt
slippage is eliminated.
L. Periodically, verify that the supercharger pulley bolt
is tight. Also verify that the belt is not slipping under
boost.
M. Read the STREET SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM OWNER’S
MANUAL AND RETURN THE WARRANTY REGISTRA-
TION FORM within thirty (30) days of purchasing
your supercharger system.
