Installation of the LPE C5 E-Force supercharger
is complete. Refer to the supercharger break-
in procedures below to prevent damaging the
installed components.
294. Re-install the wheels and torque the lug
nuts to 100 ft-lbs. The adjacent picture illustrates
the proper torque sequence that should be used
to torque the lug nuts on a 5-lug wheel.
1. Start the vehicle again and let run for 5-10 minutes. Check system fluid level and fuel leaks
periodically. Check belt alignment. Shut off engine.
SUPERCHARGER BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
2. Test drive vehicle for the first few miles under normal driving conditions. Listen for any noises,
vibrations, engine misfire or anything that does not seem normal. The supercharger does have a
slight whining noise under boost conditions, which is normal.
Note: The supercharger requires a break-in period of 30 minutes of normal driving. Do
not use wide open throttle until the break in period of the supercharger has been reached.
3. After the initial test drive gradually work the vehicle to wide open throttle runs, listen for any
engine detonation (pinging). If engine detonation is present, let up on the throttle immediately.
Most detonation causes are low octane gasoline still in the tank.
4. Once the break-in procedure has been performed, it is recommended that the engine oil is
drained and the oil and filter are replaced with the vehicle’s recommended oil grade and filter.
