VORTECH 50MM COG DRIVE UPGRADE

Installation Instructions

2010 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS

Before beginning this installation,

please read through this entire instruction booklet

The Vortech 2010 Camaro 50mm cog drive upgrade was designed specifically for use on 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS vehicles equipped with a supercharger to support applications with increased horsepower over the basic kit. As with any power enhancing product, this unit is intended for use on healthy, well-maintained engines. 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 a note of the following key points:

1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).

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

**IMPORTANT NOTE**

This supercharger drive system is designed for use ONLY on vehicles equipped with

“heavy-duty” Vortech supercharger units (designated with RACE on the supercharger serial tag). Also, when employing a cog drive system, a Vortech race bypass valve must be used; this is crucial to maintain proper supercharger performance and longevity. Make sure that the proper supercharger pulley ratios are selected for your particular application and supercharger type. Call Vortech with any questions regarding maximum recommended supercharger speeds.

TOOL & SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS:

• Open End Wrenches (3/4”)

• 3/8” Ratchet

• 1/2" Breaker Bar or Ratchet

• 5/16", 3/8", 9/16, 17mm, and 3/4” Sockets

• Flat #2 Screwdriver

• Hammer

• Allen Wrench, Standard Set

• Utility Knife

• Heat Gun/Propane Torch

2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

NOTE: Do NOT hammer, press, or pry etc. on either

of the pulleys when installing or removing them. Lightly heat the pulley with a propane torch until the pulley slides onto the input shaft/crank pulley spacer pilot.

A. Re-using the crank spacer and six previously

removed bolts with washers, install the newly supplied 75 tooth cog crank pulley using a drop of blue loctite thread locker on each fastener. Tighten all hardware evenly, using a progressive, criss-cross pattern. Torque to 35 ft/lbs.

B. Adjust any factory hoses or lines to ensure ade-

quate clearance around the new drive pulley for trouble free operation.

C. Install the supplied 50 mm cog supercharger pul-

ley onto the supercharger input shaft with the long hub facing the supercharger. Make sure to align and install the square key way. Secure pulley using the supplied retainer along with a drop of blue loctite on the 3/8-24x2" bolt and washer. See FIG 2-c

2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION, CONT’D

D. Locate the following parts: 7B500-325 tensioner

arbor, 7PA375-500 adjustment screw, 4PFA010031 adjustment screw bracket, two 7A250-100 ¼-20 flat allen screws.

E. Apply a liberal amount of anti seize to the threads

of the adjustment screw (7PA375-500)

F. Feed the shaft of the tensioner arbor through the

slot of the front plate from the back. See Figure 2-d.

G. Start to thread the adjustment screw into the head

of the tensioner arbor.

H. Install the adjustment screw mounting block onto

the head of the adjustment screw and secure with the supplied ¼-20 x 1” flat head screws through the front plate in the appropriate location

NOTE: Use the upper tensioner mounting holes with

a 1600 belt for kits with a 75 tooth crank and either 34 or 32 tooth supercharger pulley. Use the lower tensioner mounting holes with a 1600 belt for kits with a 75 tooth crank and 30 tooth supercharger pulley.

2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION, CONT’D

I. Slide the supplied idler spacer over the shaft of

the tensioner arbor.

J. Next install the supplied larger aluminum idler

onto the arbor followed by the piloting washer and ½”-20 hex nut. Install only finger tight while still allowing for movement with the adjustment screw.

3. BELT INSTALLATION AND TENSIONING

A. Make sure the tensioner arbor is adjusted to the

highest position and install the supplied cog belt around the crank first and then the supercharger pulley.

B. With the belt routing underneath the tensioner

idler pulley, adjust the tensioner by turning the tensioner screw counter-clockwise so that idler pulley is lowered onto the belt applying tension.

C. Once adequate tension is applied, lock the ten-

sioner in place by finally tightening the jam nut on the tensioner arbor previously left loose for adjustment purposes.

4. FINAL ASSEMBLY

A. Reinstall the discharge piping from the passenger

side intercooler up pipe to the throttle body.

B. Re-connect the MAF sensor wiring harness.

5. FINAL CHECK

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the vehicle

until ALL components are installed and ALL operations are completed including the final check.

A. Confirm that all fasteners are properly secured

and tight.

B. Make sure all wires and hoses are routed away

from hot, moving or sharp objects.

C. Test drive the vehicle.

D. Custom calibration will be REQUIRED as the

drive speeds of the supercharger and the boost levels will have been changed from the standard 10-rib serpetine drive system. Always listen carefully for engine detonation. Discontinue heavy throttle usage if detonation is heard.
