Vararam Tri-Power User Manual

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY

BEFORE BEGINNING THIS INSTALLATION,

you will nd many helpful hints in the instructions.

IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY ASPECT OF THIS INSTALLATION PLEASE REFER

THIS TO AN EXPERIENCED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

Tools needed:
1 at head screwdriver
1 10mm wrench or socket
1 small soft towel (its going to get dirty)
1Box knife or cutting tool ex.. Pliers, shears etc..(Avalanche)

Step one

Removing the factory intake system.
Remove factory engine cover by lifting up and pull towards the front of the vehicle, you will re-install this later.

Remove the PVC line as shown

Remove the factory air box by unscrewing the hose clamp directly on the box. Pull directly up on the box, it will release with
a pop! Remove the factory air tube by popping it loose from the black plastic grommets located at the middle of the radiator
hose, lossen hose clamp from throttle the body, the hose and intake will lift out.
Mass airow harness-- You will need some slack in the wiring loom for later relocation, to get the added length needed. Pull on
it and nd the plastic grommets on your fender, pop these loose, one or two should be ne, just enough to reach the mouth of
your throttle body.

Step two

Next to your Radiator on the left and right side are some exible factory block offs; these will need to be removed.

ALL GM’s---- including Avalanche and Escalade owners, simply reach into the cavity and remove these, you can just pull on
them, they are held in with the same black plastic grommets as the wiring loom. There will be one up high and one down low
and one on the outside most edge, three totals per side. This factory block off material is fairly soft and can be removed in
seconds, compared to popping the grommets one at a time, with cutters or a screwdriver.

Tech Note

(Read this through, the Avalanche and standard trucks use different components here, this covers
Escalade and GMC as well.)

Note: removal of plastic cover
is not nessesary for Avalanche
trucks.

Removing inner radiator aps (look or feel for these on the left and right of your radiator) Determine which aps you have,
hard plastic or soft exible fabric. Most Chevy trucks have hard plastic- requires the removal of the upper plastic support. You
will replace this once the scoops are installed. This simply allows you easier access for removal.

Left side is soft Right side hard plastic
(Avalanche, Escalade & Denali) (Full size truck and Tahoe)
