1.4 Safety Precautions Working safely is very important. Many components are under pressure, or require a great deal of pressure to remove. Always take care and proceed with caution. After reading this complete installation manual if you have any doubts regarding any of the procedures we recommend the installation to be performed by a trained technician or AMS authorized Dealer. Below you will find a list of recommended safety basics when working on the vehicle. Disconnect the vehicles battery Always wear Eye and or Ear Protection when Drilling, Cutting, Grinding, Welding, Brazing, or working with any part of the fuel system, Air Condition System. Never Work under any vehicle supported by a jack Wear Latex gloves when working with or near any automotive liquids (Ex. Gasoline, Engine Oil, Brake Fluid, Coolant, Power Steering Fluid Etc.) many of these items have been known to cause cancer and other health related problems. 2.0 Vehicle Pre-Requisites Vehicle must be in perfect working order before the installation takes place. We recommend a full safety check to be performed on the vehicle. Covering Braking, Steering, Suspension, Engine, Transmission, Clutch, Wheels, Tires, Lightning, Horn, Etc. Date 10/28/00 Page 6
2.1 Compression Test A compression test must also be performed to acquire engine condition. The test must be performed with the Main engine harness connector removed. Also while cranking the engine over, the throttle must be held in the wide-open position. Compression should be between 185-195 Psi 2.2 Leak-down Test A leak-down test must be performed to acquire engine condition. The test must be performed with a regulated and dried shop air supply. Leak-down results must not indicate 15% or higher. If high leakdown results are found the engine must be disassembled to determine the problem. After the problem is corrected and all break-in limits are met, the Installation may take place. 2.3 Engine Bay Preparation Engine bay preparation is recommended on an older vehicle if so required. Engine bay must be clean before the installation takes place. Caution must be taken when washing the engine bay due to electrical components and water being retained in the spark plug galleys. After washing the engine bay be sure to dry the area with shop air or by using rags. Be sure no water is in the spark plug galleys when starting the engine or damage can occur due to the shorting of the ignition system. A degreaser can be used as necessary on affected areas. Many are available commercially. Date 10/28/00 Page 7
2.4 Installation Overview The installation of the ADVANCED Supercharger System must be taken with care in order to ensure a healthy reliable vehicle. We took great care in developing the system for this engine family and expect you to also follow in the same manner during the final phase the installation. A faulty installation can cause many possible problems (Ex. engine failure, supercharger failure etc.) That is why a great degree of care must be taken during this conversion process.

5.1 Troubleshooting Specified Boost Pressure not attained. Boost pressure problems can be caused by various conditions such as the following. Loose Intake Manifolds Intake Gasket Leaks Loose Charge Pipe Leaking Charge Pipe Connectors Belt Slippage Belt Alignment Worn Pulleys Serpentine Belt Alignment and how to check Remove Serpentine Belt and Idler Pulley. Route Serpentine Belt around the Alternator Pulley and then the Supercharger Pulley. Check that the Belt lay flat across the Alternator Pulley and does not show any sign of deflection from the left to right side of the Alternator Pulley. If Belt deflection is present then shimming of the Supercharger Bracket is necessary. Contact AMS for a shim kit or fabricate locally. We have seen the need to shim the Bracket due to production variances from Vehicle to Vehicle. Date 10/28/00 Page 38
