Part No. 4FB218-040SQ

’86-’97 7.5L F-Series Truck

- 50 State Smog Legal per CARB EO #D-213-17

Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best backed automotive

supercharger available today... the VORTECH® V-2® Supercharger!

Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street Supercharger System Owner's Manual which includes the Limited Warranty Program and the Warranty Registration form and return envelope.

Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30-35% and horsepower of 35-45% can be expected with the boost levels specified by Vortech Engineering. This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained engines. Installation on a worn-out or damaged engine is not recommended and may result in failure of the engine as well as the supercharger. Vortech Engineering is not

responsible for engine damage.

Installation on new vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in procedures are followed.

For best performance and continued durability, please take note of the following key points:

1. Use only premium grade fuel 92 octane or higher (R+M/2).

2. The engine must have stock compression ratio.

3. If the engine has been modified in any way, check with Vortech prior to using this product.

4. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no boost) until problem is

resolved.

5. Perform an oil and filter change upon completion of this installation and prior to test driving your vehicle.

Thereafter, always use a high grade SF rated engine oil or a high quality synthetic, and change the oil and filter at least every 3,000 miles. Never attempt to extend the oil change interval beyond 3,000 miles,

regardless of oil manufacturer's claims as potential damage to the supercharger may result.

6. Before beginning installation, replace all spark plugs that are older than 1 year or 10,000 miles with original

heat range plugs as specified by the manufacturer and reset timing to factory specifications (follow the procedures indicated within the factory repair manual and/or as indicated on the factory underhood emissions tag). Do not use platinum spark plugs unless they are original equipment. Change spark plugs every 15,000 miles and spark plug wires at least every 50,000 miles.

NOTE: It is necessary to remove the oil feed fitting

in order to place the supercharger into the bracket.

A. Fasten the oil drain line (1/2" I.D.) to the oil drain

fitting on the supercharger and secure with the #8 clamp.

NOTE: Position the clamp so the screw hous-

ing will not interfere with the mounting bracket.

B. Install the supercharger to the bracket, taking

care to route the drain hose towards the valve cover fitting. Secure the supercharger using the 3/8" bolts and AN washers provided. (See

on next page.) Connect the drain line to the

fitting on the valve cover. Make sure there are no crimps in the oil drain line and that it is routed steadily downward.

NOTE: The oil drain hose may require slight

trimming for proper fit.

C. Connect the oil feed line (1/4" oil hose) from the

newly installed brass TEE (below the oil pressure sender) to the oil spray fitting located on the side of the supercharger. Route the line on top of the intake manifold next to the (passenger’s side) valve cover. Tighten fittings and lines securely.

8. DRIVE BELT

A. Install the plastic idler pulley to the lower center

boss on the supercharger with the 12 mm bolt. Be sure to place the thick washer/spacer between the pulley mount and supercharger. Secure the bolt.

B. Route the supercharger drive belt over the front

alternator and the supercharger drive pulley.

IMPORTANT: If the kit is being fitted to a

1996 or 1997 model, follow steps 1-5 below:

1. Remove the air filter cover/MAF assembly.

Drill a 7/8" hole into the rear portion of the cover (the side facing the brakemaster cylinder). Reinstall the air filter cover/MAF assembly onto the air box.

2) Install the supplied 5/8" grommet and barb

fitting into the hole previously drilled into the air filter cover.

3) Route the supplied length of 5/8" hose from

the valve cover breather to the air filter cover. Trim the hose length and secure with #8 clamps.

4) Slide the orange sleeve onto the MAF hous-

ing outlet.

5) Install the 3-1/2" flex hose between the

MAF sensor and the supercharger air inlet.

11. FUEL MANAGEMENT UNIT

A. Install the fuel management unit (FMU) on the

firewall outward from the brake booster and below the hood hinge. Make sure to leave clearance for the hinge.

B. Use a snaplock fitting tool to disconnect the fuel

return line from the fuel rail and snap in the FMU inlet line. The inlet line runs to the outward fitting,

not the center fitting. (See C. Connect the FMU outlet line to the return line. D. Secure both lines away from the exhaust header

and pipe and away from all moving parts. Check

that all fittings are secure. E. Connect the 5/32" vacuum hose between the

FMU and the vacuum tree located on the front

portion of the intake manifold. (See

12. IGNITION/BOOST CONTROL INSTALLATION

A. The Ignition/Boost Control unit has been prewired

for installation convenience. Installation is a simple matter of disconnecting the stock connector at the ignition coil and plugging in the new adapter. Then plug the stock connector into the adapter. (See

Fig. 12-a

B. The next step is to provide a good ground for the

black wire and mounting the box in as cool a place as possible under the hood. The box should be mounted with the aluminum cover on the bottom.

C. Connect the vent to manifold pressure by splic-

ing into the FMU manifold pressure line with the supplied 5/32" hose and TEE.

D. Route the Ignition/Boost Control wires through

the firewall from the interior side. Mount the knob in an easily accessible place.

E. Connect the wires to the plastic oval wiring

connector on the Ignition/Boost Control unit using the snap-on connector supplied in the Ignition/Boost Control kit.

NOTE: The wiring to the Boost/Control knob

can be matched to either of the corresponding wires in the boost retard connector.

(See C. The maximum amount of retard that is avail-

able is 15° total. D. Using the 1° per pound position as a starting

point, adjust the ignition retard knob until just

beyond the point of detonation. Use third gear

retard according to changes in altitude and fuel

quality.

14. FINAL CHECK

A. Reconnect the battery. B. If your vehicle has gone over 10,000 miles since

its last spark plug change, you will need to

change the spark plugs now before test driving

the vehicle. C. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for

tightness. Pay particular attention to oil and fuel

lines around moving parts, sharp edges and

exhaust system parts. Make sure all wires and

lines are properly secured with clamps or tie

wraps. D. Check all fluid levels, making sure that your

tank(s) is filled with 92 octane or higher fuel

before commencing test drive.

14. FINAL CHECK, cont'd.

E. Start engine and allow to idle a few minutes,

then shut off. F. Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires, etc. are

near exhaust headers or moving parts and for

signs of any fluid leakage. Check ignition timing

to make sure it is set to stock specifications

before commencing test drive. G. PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Operating

the vehicle without ALL the subassemblies com-

pletely and properly installed may cause FAIL-

URE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS. H. Test drive the vehicle. I. The supercharger drive belt stretches initially

and will require adjustment between 250 and

400 miles.
