Well today was going to be the BIG day to install my E-Force open the box ------ no install manual . Of coarse They are closed today. I could use all the nice install online help but was hoping to use MY INSTALL GUIDE hope nothing else is missing. Could anyone post a pic of their parts list. Let's see how fast they send me one . I guess I'll try to do it (just went from 6-7 hours to ???) Glad the frige is full. :-)

I believe that is the entire manual in PDF format. Those who actually have it could confirm. No fancy binder, but at least you can get started.

The only difference aside from fuel type was the removal of the factory snorkel this go around.

Attachment 132208

Since the data is colored to differentiate fuel type, I'll go ahead and tell you IAT is the bottom curve, Coolant Temp is the middle curve, and Oil Temp is the top curve.

Its missing the Ecutek flashing procedure. As long as you are not planning on flashing a CARB tune, you should be able to get started on the whole install

I am not sure who is in charge of their Quality Assurance, but I will take the job and get things back on track

This is the correct install manual. Ecutek flashing is easy. Print. It. Out. You don't want to keep referring to a phone or a laptop during this.

Wraithrider · 04-24-2016, 08:08 PM

Thank you to all the PDF file that Freude am Farhren sent a link helps a great deal. I'm about half way through the install. some of the pics for throttle body coolant hoses a little vague but going well. I added a larger radiator and oil cooler sorting that out with new brackets I should finish up by Thursday ( if work doesn't get in the way ) . Mike ( CSG Mike ) thank you very much for the offer by I'm going to make Edelbrock pony up ( get to get my Ecutek code anyway ) I'm still sure I made the right choice for Supercharging kit parts seem well thought out pre-formed hoses a nice touch.

has anyone had issues with the coolant reservoirs? the reservoir with the SC kit is fine with coolant, i just need to open the cap to relieve the pressure for the coolant to show back up in the reservoir, but my coolant in the OEM reservoir is below the "low" marker. don't know if this is a stupid question but does the OEM reservoir level take precedence over the one that comes with the SC kit or does the other one essentially take over the "coolant level indicator" for the OEM. Thanks!

Not entirely sure what you're asking. The two are completely independent of each other and are two separate circuits, one for the radiator and one for the SC intercooler. It's very common for our radiators to read low if the car is warm. Check the water level again when the car is cold/sat for a while.

What BFF said, the coolant loops are totally separate. I actually use two different color coolants so I immediately know which one is leaking in the event that it becomes an issue. Both always read low when hot.

ah gotcha, thanks BFF and luft, ill check again when its cold. but im pretty sure when i checked it this morning it was cold, the radiator coolant reservoir was below the Low hash, and the reservoir for the intercooler was low as well until i released the pressure from the cap then it went back up to normal, i will be checking it daily for the next week to see if it will go back to normal. i dont want to be checking it every day!!

paiceyfan · 04-25-2016, 01:54 AM

That's normal for the SC reservoir, so don't worry about that. Mine does the same. My OEM reservoir was low too...I could not see any fluid, but when I started topping it up, it filled quickly. The level must have been just below the low marker. Most people say it is not a concern, as that exterior reservoir is not a key indicator for your coolant level. Go back a few pages in this thread for details.

i dunno if im overlooking but i couldnt find the page that youre talking about.. yea but now im paranoid about my coolant levels! i really dont want my engine to pop i havent even really opened her up since i got the kit on cuz im nervous with the coolant levels. guess i just have to stop being such a worry wart. ill be carrying a gallon of the coolant in my car wherever i go now though -.-
