FINAL CHECK
11. FINAL CHECK
A. Reconnect battery.
B. Make sure that all oil feed and oil drain fit-
tings are connected and tight and that the
engine is filled with factory specified oil.
C. Temporarily install a fuel pressure gauge
onto the –6 fitting on the fuel rail.
D. Cycle the fuel pump several times by turning
ignition on and then off. Check all fuel sys-
tem hose connections for leakage.
E. With key on, make sure cooler water pump
is operating and that water is flowing
through the CAC. Fill as required. Toggle
the water pump several times to get as much
air out of the system as possible. Do not run
the water pump for extended periods (30
seconds or more) without water flow. Fill
frequently until the level stabilizes.
F. Engine detonation manifests itself as a
metallic rattling sound emanating from the
Fig. 11-a
engine, usually at full throttle. It can quickly
destroy an engine. If detonation is detected,
discontinue hard use until the problem is
fixed.
G. Monitor the fuel pressure at full throttle. The
fuel pressure should reach about 100 psi at
5500 rpm. If this fuel pressure is not
achieved, increase the FCU calibration (e.g.
replace 6:1 ring and spacer with 8:1.) (See
Fig. 9-a.)
H. Read the “Street supercharger system
owner’s manual and return the warranty reg-
istration form” within thirty (30) days of
purchasing your supercharger system.
*** WARNING ***
If vehicle is to be driven in heavy rain, install a deflector
behind the hood scoop to prevent excessive water flow
from being introduced into the air box.
