Installation Instructions

1999-2001 50 State Smog Legal, as per CARB EO #D-213-17

Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best backed 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 which includes the Automotive Limited Warranties Program and the Warranty Registration form.

Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30-35% and horsepower of 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. 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 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 2 years or 30,000 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 at least every 30,000 miles.

V-2® Supercharger!

2. HARMONIC BALANCER AND CRANK PULLEY INSTALLATION

NOTE: V-8 ONLY - This process can be done with

the fan and fan shroud in place providing your balancer puller is equipped with a 5" or shorter forcing screw. Removing the fan and fan shroud will allow eaiser access to the crank pulley and the front of the engine.

A. Drain approximately one gallon of coolant from

the radiator (into a clean container for reuse later) using the drain valve located at the bottom of the radiator, driver’s side.

B. Remove the upper radiator hose (note hose

orientation), tire iron, upper 1/4" hose and the three screws securing the surge tank. Rotate the surge tank out of the way.

C. Disconnect the radiator hose support clamp,

located on the underside of the fan shroud. Remove the two top fasteners securing the fan shroud. Do not remove the fan shroud at this time.

D. Attach the supplied crows foot tool to a 1/2"

breaker bar and slide onto the hex of the fan. Attach the crows foot with the larger opening to a 1/2” drive ratchet. Slide onto the four screws retaining the water pump pulley. Remove the fan and shroud together. Do not allow the fan to fall against the radiator.

E. V-10 only - Install the fan spacer onto the water

pump and tighten.

NOTE: With the fan properly installed, the fan,

fan spacer and water pump assembly will keep itself “tightened” on a running engine due to its right handed threads.

F. Using a 1/2" breaker bar on the vehicles spring

tensioner remove the accessory drive belt.

G. Remove the center balancer screw.

NOTE: If the center balancer screw rotates the

engine and will not unscrew. Remove the rubber inspection plug on the left rear of the block to make the flexplate accessible. Using an 18mm socket and ratchet, rotate the engine until a flexplate nut is visible. Place a 14mm deep socket and extension on the flexplate nut and rotate the engine counterclockwise until the socket engages with the top of the access hole. This will block the movement of the crankshaft allowing the bolt to be loosened. This operation may require the assistance of another person.

(99-01SuperDuty(4FT V2.0))

2. HARMONIC BALANCER AND CRANK PULLEY INSTALLATION, cont’d.

H. Install the harmonic balancer puller. Evenly start

the three puller screws (M10 x 1.5). Engage the forcing screw against the pivot and check alignment.

NOTE: When using the harmonic balancer

puller, pay special attention to alignment of the forcing screw and pivot. Improper alignment can result in crankshaft damage.

I. After ensuring the puller is properly aligned on

the face of the crank, slowly tighten the forcing screw until the harmonic balancer has been removed.

SPACER

NOTE: The factory uses a small amount of sili-

cone to seal the crankshaft keyway. Thoroughly clean the silicone and any oil residue off of the crankshaft prior to installing the Vortech harmonic balancer.

J. With a small amount of silicone on the keyway of

the new harmonic balancer, guide it on the crankshaft and feel for alignment of the woodruff key and the harmonic balancer keyway. After the harmonic balancer has been aligned on the crankshaft, use your harmonic balancer installation tool to install the new harmonic balancer. Slowly tighten until the harmonic balancer is seated on the crankshaft.

NOTE: The use of Loctite blue is recommended

for all harmonic balancer and crank pulley screws.

K. Remove the installation tool and place the su-

percharger drive pulley and spacer on the front of the harmonic balancer. (See

Fig. 2-a

.) Feeling for alignment, start the M12 x 1.5 x 65mm center screw and rotate the supercharger drive pulley until the three screw holes are aligned. Start the three M10 x 1.5 x 40mm cap screws with washers, evenly tighten all beginning with the center screw. Torque the M12 screw to 80 ft/ lbs and the M10 screws to 25 ft/lbs.

L. Reinstall the rubber inspection plug (if previ-

ously removed) and the accessory drive belt.

Do not reinstall the fan and fan shroud at this

time.

4. OIL DRAIN INSTALLATION

A. Completely loosen the screws securing the valve

cover to driver’s side of the head. (Note, the valve cover screws are captivated.) Remove valve cover, using care not to damage the sealing gasket. V-8 models may require the disconnection of the fuel return line (as described in the FMU mounting section) allowing clearance to remove the valve cover.

B. Cover the exposed valve train with a clean cloth/

rag to help prevent debris from contaminating the engine.

C. Using the

where the oil drain is to be located. V-10 models, 5" back from the front edge of the valve cover and 2" up from the edge of the valve cover. V-8 models, five and a quarter inches (5 1/4") back from the front edge of the valve cover and 2-1/2" up from the edge of the valve cover. Using a drill motor and Ø11/16" bit, drill through the valve cover at the previously marked location.
