18. FINAL CHECK
A. ZX3 MODELS ONLY - Once the ECM is
received back from Vortech with the
ECM module installed, reinstall the ECM
into the vehicle. In some cases, the
extra height of the ECM module will not
allow the use of the factory hold-down
bracket. Reconnect the factory harness
and reinstall the factory kick panel.
B. Make sure that the oil drain to oil pan fit-
ting is secure and that the engine is
filled with factory specified oil.
C. Fill the factory radiator and the factory
coolant surge tank with a 50/50
coolant/water mix.
D. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000
miles since its last spark plug change,
you will need to change the spark plugs
now before test-driving the vehicle.
E. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps
for tightness. Pay particular attention to
oil and fuel lines around moving parts,
sharp edges and exhaust system parts.
Make sure all wires and line are properly
secured with clamps or tie-wraps. Make
a visual inspection of the engine and
engine compartment
F. Check all fluid levels, making sure that
your tank is filled with 91 octane or high-
er fuel before commencing test-drive.
G. (H.O. Kits Only.) With the key on, make
sure the water pump is operating and
that water is flowing through the charge
cooler. Fill as necessary. If water is not
flowing, remove the supply hose
(attached to the water cooler) and lower
until water flows out of the hose. This
should prime the pump. Reconnect the
hose and verify water flow. Do not run
the water pump for extended periods (30
seconds or more) without water flow.
H. At this point, it is ok to start the vehicle.
I. With the engine running, check power
steering hose connections for leakage.
Let the engine run for two minutes. Turn
the steering wheel in both directions.
Verify:
• Smooth power assist
• Noiseless operation
• Proper fluid level
• No system leaks
• No bubbles, foam or discoleration in
fluid.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the
vehicle until all components are
installed and all operations are
completed including the final
check.
J. Recheck to be sure that no hoses,
wires, etc. are near exhaust headers or
moving parts and for signs of any fluid
leakage.
K. Test-drive the vehicle.
L. Recheck the coolant and aftercooler
fluid levels.
M. Read the STREET SUPERCHARGER
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL AND
RETURN THE WARRANTY REGISTRA-
TION FORM within thirty (30) days of
purchasing your supercharger system to
qualify for the 3 year limited warranty.
