Download STEP #1 Evacuate A/C system: • Have your local Air conditioning shop remove the HFC-134a refrigerant from your A/C system. They can reuse your coolant. After the supercharger installation you will need to return the car to them and have them refill and charge the system. This service should cost approximately $80.00. STEP #2 Remove ECM and ship to Hondata: • Remove the battery. • Remove ECM cover (A). • Remove bolts (D), then lift up the ECM. • Disconnect the ECM connectors A, B, and C. • Remove ECM and ship to Hondata (see Address to right.) STEP #3 Drain Coolant: • Jack up and support the front of the car on jack stands. • Make sure the engine is cool and remove the radiator cap. • Drain the cooling system by loosening the drain plug (A) at the bottom of the radiator. • Once all of the coolant is drained close the drain plug. STEP #4 Remove Manifold Cover & Splash shield: • Remove the intake manifold cover. The cover and hardware will not be reused. • Remove the splash shield. Make sure to retain all of the hardware; it will be reused. STEP #5 Remove Intake Tube: • Disconnect the vacuum hose (A) and the breather pipe (B) from the intake tube. • Loosen the clamps and remove the intake tube (C). Everything will be reused. STEP #6 Remove Air Box: • Disconnect the Mass Air flow sensor connector. • Remove the mounting hardware and remove the air box assembly. Keep all of the parts because they will be re- installed. STEP #7 Remove the Manifold Harness: • Disconnect the harness connectors for the fuel injectors, Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor, and Throttle Actuator. • Remove the bolt from the ground (A) and clamp (B) bracket. Then remove the harness holder (C) from the fuel rail. STEP #8 Disconnect Hoses: • Remove the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) hose (A). • Remove the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister hose (B). • Remove brake booster vacuum hose (C). • Disconnect the two water hoses connected to the bottom of the throttle body, as well as the harness clip. STEP #9 Remove Fuel Rail: • Remove the cover (A) off the fuel rail connection. Disconnect the fuel line from the rail by squeezing the lock tabs, push and pull the line until it is loose. • Remove the two M8 nuts holding the rail to the manifold and remove the rail with injectors. Keep the two rail spacers and the rail; they will be reused.
