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, 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 between 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.Vor tech Engineering is not responsible for engine damage.

Installation on new vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in per iod 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 Vor tech 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. Perfor m an oil and filter change upon completion of this installation and pr ior 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 15,000 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 20,000 miles.

4. Locate the CAC radiator between the two angled cross members, lining up the two bottom bracket mounting locations. Bend the horn bracket as necessary to provide clearance. (See Fig. 7-d.)

5. Use a supplied sheet metal screw to secure the upper bracket to the core support.

6. Connect a 48" piece of hose to the passenger’s side fitting on the CAC radiator. Route the hose around the passenger’s side of the radiator and up to the straight fitting installed in the charge cooler.

D. RESERVOIR AND WATER PUMP

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:

1. Attach the water pump to the water reservoir using the supplied adel clamp in the position shown. (See Fig. 7-e.)

2. Cut off the electrical plug on the water pump leaving as much wire connected to the pump as possible.Install the supplied 1/4" eyelet on the water pump ground wire (brown wire). Install a male slide con- nector onto the water pump positive wire (green wire).

3. Using thread sealant, install a 1/2"NPT x 90° hose barb fitting into the top and bottom of the supplied plastic reservoir.

4. Connect the pump inlet to the bottom reservoir fitting with the supplied 90° hose.

5. Insert the water reservoir into the supplied bracket and insert into the area behind the driver’s side front wheel next to the frame rail.

6. Remove the two factory support screws and re-install to secure the reservoir bracket.

7. Use the supplied adel clamp and hardware to secure the water pump to the trailing edge of the vehicle’s bumper. (See Fig. 7-f.)

8. From the engine compartment, route the supplied 3/4" hose from the bottom of the surge tank to the top of the reservoir. (See Fig. 7-h.)

9. Connect a hose running from the water pump discharge to the 90° fitting installed on the driver’s side of the CAC radiator.

10. Connect the long black wire to the water pump power wire using a female slide connector.Route the water pump power wire up to and across the cowl below the windshield and secure with zip-ties.

11. Connect the supplied mini fuse tap to the load side of the fuel pump fuse. Attach the black wire to the fuse tap using the supplied female connector. (See Fig. 7-g.)

12. Verify that all hose connections have tightened clamps installed.

13. Remove the cap from the surge tank and slowly fill the system with 25%/75% coolant/water mix.

9. IN-TANK-FUEL PUMP INSTALLATION

NOTE: Making sure that the vehicle has only a

small amount of fuel in the tank will make the fuel tank easier to maneuver.

1. Disconnect the fuel lines (including the fuel filler hose) and electrical connector(s) from

the fuel tank.

2. Remove the fuel tank from the vehicle. Remove the fuel pump module from the tank by rotating the clamp ring.

3. Remove the factory fuel pump. Install the supplied fuel pump in its place.

4. Re-assemble and install the fuel tank onto the vehicle.

10. FINAL ASSEMBLY AND CHECK

Fig. 10-a

A. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles

since its last spark plug change, it is a good idea to change the spark plugs now, before test-driving.

B. Make sure that oil drain to oil pan fitting is

tight and that the engine is filled with factory specified oil.

C. Make sure radiator and overflow tanks are

filled with a 50/50 coolant/water mix.

D. Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91

octane or higher fuel before commencing a test drive.

E. Turn the key ON and OFF several times to

build fuel pressure.Check for fuel leaks (especially around the fuel injectors).

F. With the key on, make sure the charge air

cooler water pump is operating and that water is flowing through the surge tank. Fill as necessary. If water is not flowing, remove the hose from the bottom of the surge tank and lower until water flows out of hose.This should prime the pump. Reconnect hose, verify water flow and top off surge tank. Do not

run the water pump for extended periods (30 seconds or more) without water flow.

G. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for

tightness.

H. At this point it is OK to start the vehicle.

I. Turn off the vehicle and recheck all fluid lev-

els and verify that no hoses, wires, etc.are near exhaust headers or moving parts and that there is no fluid leakage.

J. Test drive the vehicle by gradually working up

to full throttle and paying close attention to any abnormal sounds or engine detonation.

K. Read the STREET SUPERCHARGER SYS-

TEM OWNER’S MANUAL AND RETURN THE WARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM within thirty (30) days of purchasing your supercharger system to qualify for the 3-year limited warranty.

WARNING: Never operate your engine at full

throttle when the engine is cold. Always allow plenty of time for the oil to reach full operating temperature before running above 2,500 RPM. Full supercharger operating temperature is generally achieved only after the engine water temperature has been at the normal indicated operating range for two or three minutes.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the

vehicle until ALL components are installed and ALL operations are completed including final check. Failure to do so may cause PREMATURE FAILURE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.

WARNING: OEM exhaust catalytic converter

life may be dramatically reduced when the vehicle is subjected to frequent heavy or full throttle operation. Vortech is not responsible for any damage that may occur to these emission control devices.
