Driver's Side Renegade Supercharger System

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR A FIRST TIME VORTECH USER. These products are intended for racing use ONLY by professional
racers/installers. These packages were designed for "off-road" racing use only and are not legal for "public highway" use.
Installation of this package requires a trunk mounted battery and removal of all factory front engine accessories with their related
bracketry.
This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained
racing engines. It is recommended by Vortech that an aftermarket (SVO) high strength engine block and cylinder heads
(TFS, Edelbrock, World Products, etc.) be used. An "O-ringed"
cylinder head-to-block seal is also suggested. Installation on
a worn-out or damaged engine is not recommended and may
result in failure of the engine as well as the supercharger.
Before beginning this installation, please read through this
entire instruction booklet and the Vortech Race Supercharger System Owner's Manual. Other available pieces
designed for use:
2A038-285 Renegade Profile, ø2.85
2A038-300 Renegade Profile, ø3.00
2A038-315 Renegade Profile, ø3.15
To determine the proper supercharger pulley(s), use this
formula:*
crank pulley diameter
(
supercharger pulley diameter
Vortech Crank/Supercharger Support Strut:** 4FA110-020
• Reduces crank snout side-loading. (Places the super-
charger load onto the crankshaft main bearing centerline
and cancels out the load generated by the drive belt
between the crank and supercharger pulleys.)
• Reduces supercharger input bearing load and wear.
• Eliminates the possibility of supercharger plate flex.
* Refer to the Vortech racing supercharger system owner's
manual for each individual supercharger's specifications.
** Not required for kit function although strongly
recommended by Vortech.
