All new Pontiac GTO/Holden Vararam – Super Duty Racing Cold Air Induction System PDF Instructions

Tools needed

1. Flat head screwdriver or 8mm socket
2. Rotary saw with cutoff wheel (dremel)
3. Wire cutters
4. 30-45 min
Read the instructions completely through before beginning the installation, this includes the FAQ section. The GTO/Holden vehicle has a 3/4 inch variation from left to right and front to back and the engine is twisted in the frame. We have made adjustments in the kit to allow for just about any combination. If you run into something different during your install , don’t panic, our R&D department has over 20 different combinations, just call us direct at 713-477-8100 and we will get you set up with what you need. If you are uncomfortable with any aspect of this installation, simply allow a qualified installation technician to do the install for you

BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION
Remove your factory air box or existing cold air system. Remove front facial cover by lifting the plastic push clips Mark a “HORIZONTAL” line across the backside of the shroud 3/4 inch “BELOW” the top of the radiator line. This removes the small tabs that stick out at the back in one cut.
Next Release shroud from tabs and lift approximately 2-3 inches to allow for a safe cut. You can place a piece of wood or something under the shrouds upper cover to hold it up and away from the radiator. We used a short 2×4 but anything will do. (You may want to place a towel in the engine compartment to keep it clean during the cutting process) Using your cutoff wheel cut across the shroud. Once completed slide shroud back down into lock tabs, your cut line should be 3/4 inches below the top of the radiator

INSTALLING THE VR SYSTEM
(NOTE) there are many clearance cuts in the VR tray assembly, we have done this to allow for vehicle variation and the many different applications from aftermarket intake manifolds to superchargers etc…Start by placing the tray onto the radiator, notice the heat pad that is pre attached under the tray. There are no brackets in this kit, the tray is a stressed member that is locked in place by the filter and MAF connection and the hood when it is closed. (Refer to front overview picture if needed) Using supplied hose (1) 3.5×1 inch for slip-fit and (1) 4.0X2.5 inch angle cut hose with PCV already fitted. Slide the angle cut hose over mouth of throttle body, with the straight side towards the motor and
the PCV line pointing at the 11 o’clock position as shown. Tighten onto throttle body using supplied hose clamp. (NOTE- check the transition inside from the hose ID to the ID of the throttlebody to ensure a smooth transition, you may slide the hose clamp forward if needed about 1/4 inch or so to ensure a good transition.) (There were multitude of variations on the 6 GTO’s we used for R&D, this combination is used on a stock vehicle with a stock intake manifold etc…)

Counter sink MAF “INTO” the VR filter assembly , simply bottom this out, we precut this to set the desired depth. Use supplied hose clamp and tighten completely. Now place the (1) 1×3.5 hose “OVER” the backside of the MAF. This is a slip fit hose to bring the back of the MAF up to 4.0” O.D. (NOTICE The filter is offset , this allows you to flip the filter by simply rotating it 180 deg. We do this because your throttle body sits at an angle of 8-10deg pointing upward. This just allows you to further compensate for vehicle variation to square everything up in the engine compartment. We like a clean factory racer look,so we have designed in lots of variation
