Take note of the following before proceeding:
1. Proper installation of this supercharger kit requires general automotive mechanic knowledge and
experience. Please browse through each step of this instruction manual prior to beginning the
installatlion to determine if you should refer the job to a professional installer/technician. Please
contact your dealer or Vortech Engineering for possible installers in your area.
2. This product was designed for use on stock (un-modified, OEM) vehicles. The PCM (computer),
engine, transmission, drive axle ratios and tire O.D. must be stock. If the vehicle or engine has
been modified in any way, check with Vortech prior to installation and use of this product.
3. Use only premium grade fuel with a minimum of 91 octane (R+M/2).
4. Always listen for any sign of detonatlion (knocking/pinging) and discontinue hard use (no boost)
until the problem is resolved.
5. Vortech is not responsible for any clutch, transmission, drive-line or engine damage.
Exclusions from Vortech warranty coverage consideration includes, but not limited to:
1. Neglect, abuse, lack of maintenance, abnormal operation or improper installatlion.
2. Continued operation with an impaired vehicle or sub-system.
3. The combined use of Vortech components with other modifications such as, but not limited to,
exhaust headers, aftermarket camshafts, nitrous oxide, third party PCM programming or other
such changes.
WARNING
• Extreme care must be taken when driving a supercharged vehicle with the stock clutch. If
clutch slippage is detected, discontinue hard use. Vortech recommends replacing the stock
clutch with a higher capacity unit if slippage occurs.
• Although this kit fits vehicles (except G35 Sedan) with an automatic, the transmission may
not upshift at full throttle when driving in “D” (drive) mode. In order to shift at full throttle, the
transmission must be in the “manual shift” mode and operated by the driver. Vortech makes
no claims as to the reliability of the transmission with the supercharger installed.

Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best backed
automotive supercharger available today... the VORTECH® supercharger!
Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street Supercharger System
Owner’s Manual (Race Owner’s Manual for the Renegade kit) which includes the Limited Warranty Program, the Warranty
Registration form and return envelope.
Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of
30-40% and horsepower between 45-55% 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 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 the 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.
