4. Supercharger Reclocking and Reinstallation
A. Loosen and remove the six (6) 1/4-20 cap
screws and retaining plates that hold the
compressor housing to the gearcase.
B. Carefully rotate the supercharger volute to the
specified location as shown.
C. Evenly retighten the six (6) cap screws, torque
to 5 ft./lbs.
D. Reinstall the supercharger, securing the oil
drain, oil feed and the air inlet elbow. The air
inlet elbow must be rotated down to the
8 o’clock position to allow proper clearance
for the aftercooler.
E. Install the large end of the rubber 180 °
crankcase vent hose to the 3/4” plastic vent
tube located in the passenger side valve cover
and the opposite end to the 5/8” fitting located
in the air inlet elbow. (See photo in step 2,

provided.

NOTE: If the compressor housing does not
rotate freely relative to the gearcase, DO
NOT FORCE IT. SERIOUS SUPERCHARGER
DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. The machined mating
surfaces are designed to prevent pressurized
air from escaping and have minimal
tolerances. If the housing will not move or
is very tight, contact Vortech Engineering
immediately at (805) 529-9330 and ask for
our service department for further assistance.
