IMPORTANT NOTES

(Read before installation is started)

This kit requires ECM programming. The hand-held ECM programmer is not included in the kit box and must be ordered directly from Vortech by the installing customer (the charge for this unit has been included in the purchase price).

Included in this kit is a credit tag for one (1) hand-held programmer. The programmers are made specifically for each individual vehicle with respect to the factory ECM calibration and VIN. Sim ply follow the instructions on the hand-held programmer Credit Tag.

NOTE: Vortech Engineering is not responsible for engine or ECM damage due

to an improperly installed/mishandled ECM module or ECM.

SS Models Only:

This supercharger kit does not fit vehicles with an "SS" hood installed. The customer may wish to cut the hood per the following graphic. After this modification, the supercharger will fit. However, since the engine is now drawing its intake air from the engine compartment, high under-hood temperatures will increase the likelihood of severe engine detonation. For this reason, additional care should be taken when driving a vehicle with the hood modification.

Installation of this kit requires special tools for removal and installation of the vehicle's harmonic damper. These tools may be impractical for the individual customer to purchase for one time use only. Vortech recommends having this procedure done by a dealer or professional if the tools are not available.

When driving the vehicle on non-public roads (off-road applications such as racing/high rpm) Vortech strongly recommends reducing the spark plug gap down to .032".

NOTE: Be very careful not to cut

through the top of the hood.

1. Areas to be removed.

2. Align with hood hinge and cut

perpendicularly through the air duct using a pneumatic cutting wheel.

3. Align for the second cut straight down from the first cut.

4. Cut this section symmetrically to the other using the same points of reference.

5. Measure 3.5" from the indented line in ram air. Cut perpendicularly through the air duct.

Installation Instructions

Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best supported automotive

supercharger available today... the VORTECH

Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street Supercharger System Owner's Manual and Automotive Limited Warranties Program.

Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30% to 35% and horsepower of 35% to 50% can be expected with the boost levels specified by Vortech Engineering, Inc. 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, LLC 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 91 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 either a high grade SF rated engine oil or a high quality synthetic lubricant, 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 20,000 miles

with original heat range plugs as specified by the manufacturer (follow the procedures outlined in 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

40,000 miles and spark plug wires at least every 60,000 miles.

Supercharger!

3. OIL DRAIN LINE

A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it is

necessary to make a hole in the front of the oil pan. Locate and centerpunch the hole. This hole should be centered .40” from the bottom of the oil pan lip between the last bolt and the driver’s side of the oil pan. (See

B. Drill the 1/8” pilot hole at the center location. C. Use the supplied 9/16” Rotabroach to drill a hole

in oil pan. Break through the pan easily so that the cut out piece does not go into the oil pan.

D. Tap the hole with a 3/8” NPT tap to approximately

1/2” deep or until the fitting can be started. Pack the flutes of the tap with heavy grease to hold chips.

E. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach inside

the oil pan and retrieve any stray chips. Apply a small amount of silicone sealer to the new threads. Apply more sealer to the 3/8” NPT hex nipple and secure in the hole. Make sure a seal is formed all around the fitting. Install elbow and barb fitting pointing up and towards the side of the alternator (see

Fig. 3-b

) so that the oil drain hose will have

maximum clearance to the damper once installed.

F. Temporarily cover the oil drain barb fitting to keep

out debris.

G. Drain the engine oil, install a new filter and refill

the engine with fresh oil.

4. OIL FEED LINE

A. Spray the nuts securing the driver’s side catalytic

converter with penetrating oil and remove. Use caution not to shear off the exhaust manifold studs!

B. Remove the two bolts holding the small casting

located just above the oil filter.

C. Drill through the existing hole in the casting neck

with an “R” drill bit and tap 1/8” NPT. Thoroughly clean the neck with solvent to remove metal clips.

D. Using engine oil on the threads, install the

supplied 1/8” NPT to #4 90° fitting so it will point forward and away from the exhaust when installed on the vehicle (see

E. Reinstall the neck into its original position. F. Temporarily cover one end of the oil feed line and

protect it from debris until connecting it to the supercharger.

G. Connect the open end of the oil feed line to the

fitting. Install the fire sleeve on the portion of the oil feed line that is near the exhaust and secure both with an adel clamp. Route the line along the oil pan rail to the front of the engine. Use an adel clamp at the front of pan and tie wraps to secure the line and protect it from kinking, abrasion, and high heat areas. From the front of the pan, leave the oil feed line loose (routing will be completed after the supercharger is installed). The adel clamps will need to be clipped with side cutters to allow the bolt to pass through the hole (see

Fig. 4-b

H. Re-install the catalytic converter.

5. HARMONIC DAMPER INSTALLATION

A. Make sure no debris or oil is on the crank snout

or inner bore of the supplied damper.

B. Use the damper installation tool to seat the

damper on the crankshaft. (See Tool & Supply Requirements on page v.)

C. Install per factory manual as follows:

1. Install the original retaining bolt and torque to

240 ft/lb. Remove the bolt.

2. Lightly coat the threads of the new retaining bolt with red threadlocker. Install and torque to 37 ft/lbs.

3. Using 1/2" breaker bar, tighten the retaining bolt an additional 120° or tighten with a torque wrench to 250 ft/lbs.

D. Use a small amount of paint or equivalent to mark

the retaining bolt and balancer hub so that any relative movement between the two will be easy to check after the vehicle has been operated.

Fig. 4-b

NOTE: It is helpful to mark the breaker bar

location on the damper under light torque. Tighten the bolt until the breaker bar is at the same position under the same light torque as used previously, but is advanced two flats on the bolt head. This yields 120° of bolt rotation.

(FBodyLS1(4GK V3.2)98-02)

6. RADIATOR HOSE MODIFICATION

A. The object of this section is to route the radiator

hose as close to the radiator as possible to provide room for the supercharger belt and spring tensioner.

B. Drain the coolant system until the upper radiator

hose can be removed.

C. Leaving the straight legs as long as possible, trim

the supplied hose per

D. (Vehicles

with

power steering cooler) Remove the

Fig. 6-a

radiator hose connecting the engine to the power steering cooler. Install the trimmed hose in place of the original so the free end is routed behind the A/C line. Make sure the hose is routed between the radiator shroud and the air conditioning line.

E. (Vehicles

without

power steering cooler) Remove the engine side of the upper radiator hose. Install the trimmed hose onto the engine and route the free end behind the A/C line. Cut the original radiator hose so it will connect to the installed hose with the supplied 1-3/8" hose mender. Make sure the hose is routed between the radiator shroud and the air conditioning line.

F. If the hose is not tight against the radiator shroud,

remove the radiator side of the upper radiator hose and trim to pull hose forward.

G. Tighten all hose clamps and refill coolant system.
