7 1. PREPARATION AND REMOVAL NOTE: The provided mounting bracket for the fuel pump booster is not compatible with convertible vehicles at this time. Please consult your local fabricator for a custom solution. A. Prior to unplugging the battery, you will need to roll down both windows. This is done to prevent potential window damage as both windows rest within a channel in the body of the vehicle when they are rolled up. (See Fig. 1-a) Fig. 1-a: Roll Down Windows B. Remove the battery cover and unplug both battery leads. (See Fig. 1-b) Fig. 1-b: Unplug Battery Leads C. In order to access the fuel pump driver module, it will be ncessary to remove the lower rear seat cushion. There are two retainers located underneath the front bolsters that secure the lower rear seat cushion to the vehicle. (See Fig. 1-c) LOWER REAR SEAT CUSHION RETAINER LOCATION (LOCATED UNDERNEATH) Fig. 1-c: Rear Seat Retainer Location 1 DP/N: v1.1,

8 1. PREPARATION AND REMOVAL, cont'd D. In order to release the lower rear seat cushion from the vehicle, press the retainer lever inwards then pull the lower rear seat cushion upwards. (See Fig. 1-d) PUSH RETAINER LEVER INWARDS Fig. 1-d: Rear Seat Retainer E. Located near the driver side rear interior panel is the fuel pump driver module. Unplug the electrical connector at this time. (See Fig. 1-e) Fig. 1-e: Unplug Fuel Pump Driver Module F. Locate the upper rear seat release strap and fold the upper rear seat down. (See Fig. 1-f) UPPER REAR SEAT RELEASE STRAP Fig. 1-f: Fold Upper Rear Seat Down DP/N: v1.2,

9 1. PREPARATION AND REMOVAL, cont'd G. Detach the rear seatbelt guide from the driver side rear interior panel. The seatbelt passes through the rear seatbelt guide, so it can remain in the vehicle. (See Fig. 1-g) Fig. 1-g: Detach Small Plastic Trim H. Remove the interior panel directly above the driver side door sill by pulling it upwards, releasing the retainer clips. (See Fig. 1-h) Fig. 1-h: Remove Interior Panel Above Driver Side Door Sill I. The driver side rear interior panel needs to be removed. To remove, pull from the top of the panel and pull away from the window. Work your way around the panel to release all of the retaining clips. (See Fig. 1-i) Fig. 1-i: Remove Driver Side Rear Interior Panel 3 DP/N: v1.1,

10 1. PREPARATION AND REMOVAL, cont'd J. Locate the driver side rear interior panel & lay it down as shown. There is a foam insulation block that needs to be removed to make space for the fuel pump booster. (See Fig. 1-j) Fig. 1-j: Foam Insulation Block K. Remove the two metal clips securing the insulation block. Discard the insulation block and two metal clips as they will not be reused. (See Fig. 1-k) REMOVE 2x METAL CLIPS Fig. 1-k: Remove Foam Insulation Block DP/N: v1.2,

11 2. FUEL PUMP BOOSTER INSTALLATION A. Located near the driver side seatbelt assembly is a flat surface where the fuel pump booster will be mounted. Using the fuel pump booster mounting plate as a template, mark your drill holes. Align the edge of the fuel pump booster mounting plate with the edge of the flat mounting surface. Mark the two mounting holes, then center punch the marks. Using a #4 drill bit, drill out the two mounting hole marks. Be sure to use a sharp drill bit. (See Fig. 2-a) NOTE: Although a #4 drill bit is optimal for this step, you can subsitute it with a 7/32" drill bit if necessary. Fig. 2-b: Mark & Drill Mounting Holes B. Attach the fuel pump booster to the mounting plate using the supplied four x.50 socket head screws, four nylock nuts, and four #10 flat washers. Install the assembly to the vehicle and secure using the two provided #14 hex head self-tapping screws. (See Fig. 2-b) Fig. 2-b: Mount Fuel Pump Booster C. Locate the provided fuel pump booster adapter harness and install it in-line between the OEM fuel pump driver module and main vehicle harness. Connect the fuel pump booster to the fuel pump booster adapter harness. (See Fig. 2-c) Fig. 2-c: Install Adapter Harness 5 DP/N: v1.1,

12 2. FUEL PUMP BOOSTER INSTALLATION, cont'd D. The brown wire on this fuel pump booster will not be used. Tape the open end of the wire shut, then tape it to the black ground wire. (See Fig. 2-d) Fig. 2-d: Brown Wire (Unused) E Model-Year Vehicles: Using a 10mm socket, Remove the ground screw on the right side of the OEM fuel pump driver module. Locate the black ground wire with the ring terminal from the fuel pump booster and ground it to the same location as the OEM fuel pump driver module. Resecure using the previously removed screw. (See Fig. 2-e) Fig. 2-e: Model-Year Ground Wire Location F Model-Year Vehicles: Using an 8mm socket, remove the ground screw located on the driver side 'B' pillar. Locate the black ground wire with the ring terminal from the fuel pump booster and ground it as shown. Resecure using the previously removed screw. (See Fig. 2-f) FUEL PUMP BOOSTER GROUND WIRE ATTACH GROUND WIRE HERE Fig. 2-f: 2018 Model-Year Ground Wire Location DP/N: v1.2,

13 3. INTERIOR RE-ASSEMBLY A. Reinstall the driver side rear interior panel. Reinstall the rear seatbelt guide to the driver side rear interior panel. Test fit the lower rear seat cushion and check clearance between the underside of the rear seat cushion and the adapter harness. Proceed to reinstall the lower rear seat cushion. (See Fig. 3-a) Fig. 3-a: Reinstall Driver Side Rear Interior Panel B. Reinstall the interior panel directly above the driver side door sill. Once all panels are reinstalled, proceed to reconnect the battery. (See Fig. 3-b) Fig. 3-b: Reinstall Interior Panel Above Driver Side Door Sill 7 DP/N: v1.1,

15 4. FINAL CHECK WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the vehicle until all components are installed and all operations are completed including the final check. A. Confirm that all connections are properly insulated and secure from creating any shorts. Make sure all wires are properly secure with clamps or tie-wraps. B. Make sure all wires are routed away from hot, moving or sharp objects. C. Use a wide band O2 sensor to verify a proper air/fuel ratio (Vortech suggests 11.0:1 for 91 octane pump fuel.) Check ignition timing to make sure it is properly set before commencing test drive. D. Keep in mind that this manual does not address air/fuel or ignition timing considerations. E. Test drive the vehicle. F. Always listen carefully for engine detonation. Discontinue heavy throttle usage if detonation is heard. 9 DP/N: v1.1,
