Preparation for Installation
1. Make sure that there are no metal chips or other debris inside the manifold. Check that all bolts will run freely into any tapped holes.
2. Note that while this manifold makes provision for all vacuum lines and other brackets or parts that attached to the stock manifold, the vacuum ports originally on the front side of the manifold have been moved to the back for a cleaner appearance. This will require the use of longer vacuum hoses in some cases.
3. Disconnect battery and drain coolant.
4. Mark and identify all hoses and valves.
5. Check the condition of all hoses, gaskets and o-rings. Replace as needed. Use a new intake gasket. Honda #17105-P72-004.

The installation of the supplied high pressure fuel pump requires removing and reinstalling the fuel tank. An automotive lift makes this job much easier. The fuel tank can be removed with the car on jack-stands, provided you have the car high enough, and an assistant ready to help you. Our recommendation is to use an automotive lift, as it is much easier. Even if you are doing this super charger installation yourself you may want to consider taking the car to your shop and have your technician install the complete fuel system which consists of the fuel pump, fuel lines, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator as well as some minor wiring changes to the fuel system. With the new high pressure fuel system in place you will be able to drive the car home to continue the balance of the installation.

Wheel spacers can provide extra clearance to the outer face of the caliper. This will also space out the entire wheel, widening the track width of the vehicle. Fender clearances should be checked on lowered cars, and longer lug studs or wheel bolts are usually required. Note: The Wheel Industry Council has issued guidelines advising wheel spacers not be used. It is the responsibility of the customer to insure wheel spacers are properly specified and installed.
