IMPORTANT WARNINGS CONT’D

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void all manufacture’s standard warranties and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.

Inspect all components for damage that may have occurred in transit before beginning installation. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Edelbrock Technical Support, not your parts distributor.

Any previously installed aftermarket tuning equipment must be removed and the vehicle returned to an as stock condition before installing the supercharger.

Any equipment that directly modifies the fuel mixture or ignition timing of the engine can cause severe engine damage if used in conjunction with the Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System. This includes, but is not limited to: OBDII programmers, MAF sensors, adapters and any other device that modifies signals to and/or from the ECU. Aftermarket bolt-on equipment such as underdrive pulleys or air intake kits will also conflict with the operation of the supercharger and must be removed prior to installation. Use of any of these products with the E-Force Supercharger could result in severe engine damage.

91 octane or higher gasoline is required at all times. If your vehicle has been filled with anything less, it must be run until almost dry and refilled with 91 or higher octane gasoline twice prior to installation.

Any failures associated with not using premium 91 octane gasoline or higher, will be ineligible for warranty repairs.

WARNING: Installation of this supercharger will result in a significant change to the performance characteristics of your vehicle. It is highly recommended that you take some time to familiarize yourself with the added power, and how it is delivered. This must be done in a controlled environment.

Take extra care on wet and slippery roads as the rear tires will be more likely to lose traction with the added power. It is never recommended to turn off your vehicles traction control system.

It is recommended that you check the Edelbrock Tech Center Website for any updates to this installation manual. Please refer to the lower right hand corner to verify that you have the latest revision of this installation manual before beginning the installation.

How to Prime the Edelbrock E-Force Intercooler Systems.

The electric water pump used on this Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System has a built-in micro-processor that will vary pump cycle speed when air bubbles are present in the system. If a significant amount of air is trapped in the system, the pump may cycle at a slower speed and pulsations are likely to occur resulting in poor cooling performance.

For the best result, it is highly recommended to use a Radiator Cooling System Vacuum Purge and Refill Kit to properly evacuate the air from the intercooler system before filling with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water. If one is not available, the following procedure will be adequate.

1. Using the Lisle 24680 Spill-Free Funnel, or equivalent, secure the appropriate filler neck adapter to the surge tank.

2. Attach the funnel and fill with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water until the funnel is half full.

3. Turn the ignition to the ON position and listen for the pump’s electric motor to cycle. Air bubbles will begin to purge from the system as the coolant level drops. Add coolant to the funnel as necessary. NOTE: Do NOT let the coolant level in the funnel run empty as this may introduce air into the system.

4. To build more pressure in the intercooler system, try squeezing the intercooler hoses while the pump is cycling. Building pressure in the system will help purge the trapped air from the intercooler system.

5. Cycle the ignition OFF and wait a few seconds for the pump to come to a stop.

6. Cycle the ignition ON again and repeat until the sound of the electric pump is continuous without any pulsation. NOTE:

During water pump start-up, it is normal for a slight pulsation to occur. Once the pump has reached its maximum cycle speed, no pulsations should be present.

7. Periodically inspect the water pump flow after a few drive cycles and re-fill the intercooler system as necessary.

8. Several drive cycles may be required to completely purge the air from the intercooler system. During a drive cycle, the intercooler system will build up pressure as the supercharger temperature increases. Any residual air trapped in the system will gradually bleed out of the surge tank as the system reaches a pressure above 5psi.

WARNING: Always avoid removing the surge tank cap when the engine is hot. The hot coolant is under pressure and may spray out causing burns.
