P/N 407350 & 407351
Equipment needed:
!
1. Assorted sockets and wrenches
2. +,- Screwdrivers

4. Wire cutting/crimping tools
5. Thread locking compound (blue)
6. Solder gun/ shrink wrap (optional) WARNING:
7. NGK PLFR6A-11 Spark Plugs IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN THE AREA OF
AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS WE STRONGLY URGE THAT
YOU REFER THIS INSTALLATION TO YOUR MECHANIC.
Note: The addition of headers or race pipes will adversely affect the performance of this kit.
Installation:
1. Layout all parts on bench and check that all of the parts are accounted for per packing list. Read all instructions before starting to
familiarize yourself with various parts and operations. Change the spark plugs to 1 range colder. NGK part #PLFR6A-11 gapped to
1.1mm(0.043 in.)
2. At this time it is best to remove the hood and place it in a safe place. Open radiator petcock and drain coolant. Also disconnect
negative terminal of battery before proceeding further.
3. Next remove the decorative engine cover and the strut tower brace. Neither one of these items will be reused after supercharger
installation.
4. Remove the air tube that connects the throttle body to the mass air flow sensor. Don’t forget to disconnect the crankcase vent tube
that is attached to it also. Save this tube, as it will be reused later. (fig 1)
5. Remove the four bolts and electrical connector from the throttle body. Set aside the gasket and throttle body for later use.
6. Remove the top half of the upper plenum. This is accomplished by removing the 16 bolts and 2 nuts that connect the two halves.
Remove all brackets attached to upper half. Remove 2 vacuum lines, 2 coolant lines and lift off top plenum.(fig.2)
7. Remove bottom half by removing the six bolts down the center and the two 6mm nuts at each end. Remove PCV hose and lift off
bottom half. Save old gasket for reuse. It is a good idea to cover the open lower plenum with tape to prevent foreign matter from
entering. (fig.3)
8. Installing the double pulley on the front of the engine: Hint: The pulley will be easier to install if the electric radiator fans are
removed (but fan removal is not necessary). Remove belt and stock pulley and set aside. Use the supplied M6x16MM bolts and

36. Remove the electrical tape from the harness near the
ECU connector and peel back the sleeve to expose the
wires.
37. Using a screwdriver, carefully pry off the plastic cover on
the back of the ECU connector to access the wires as they
enter the connector. (PHOTO 33)
Note: When referring to a pin-out diagram, it is always
viewed from the wire side of the connector. Due to different
models or vehicle options, wire colors may vary. Always refer
to the pin number (wire location on the connector), rather
than the color.
Note: During the installation of the control unit, you will be
making 2 types of connections, “Intercept” and “T”.
“T” connections just monitor a signal going through a wire.
This connection only requires tapping into the wire. This
connection is made on 4 ECU wires, pin #s 34, 50, 73 and
120
“Intercept” connections modify a signal in a wire. This requires
cutting the wire from the sensor and routing it into the control
unit, then routing the modified signal to the ECU. This
connection is made on 3 ECU wires, pin #s 13, 14 and 33.
38. Attach the unit to the wall with Velcro and reinstall the panel.
39. Attach the injector connector to the injector in the inlet housing.
NOTE: Make sure the connector is completely inserted into
injector. A ‘click’ should be heard or felt when done
correctly. The brown wire will attach to pin 16-16 on the
fuel/timing box harness. The red wire will be routed into the fuse
box and will attach to the fuse tap on the fuel pump fuse.
40. Fill radiator with coolant; make sure that all air is purged from
cooling system. Connect negative terminal of battery. Cycle key
twice to on position but do not start. This is the time to check
for fuel leaks. If all checks out OK go ahead and start the
vehicle. Let run until normal operating temperature is reached
while checking for coolant and vacuum leaks. Let cool and
recheck coolant levels. Now depending on whether the power
cowl or compete hood is to be used follow those instructions
and install hood.
41. Enjoy driving your vehicle!!!!
Notice to Installer:
It is important to give the section of these instructions titled
“Care and Maintenance” to the owner of the vehicle.

• Always use the best fuel available for your vehicle. MINIMUM OF 91 OCTANE.
• IF FOR WHATEVER REASON THE VEHICLE STARTS TO PING OR DETONATE UNDER
LOAD OR HIGH RPM GET OFF THE THROTTLE!
• Changing climate, altitude or atmospheric conditions will affect your vehicle. Various types of
fuel (e.g. oxygenated, ethanol, etc) will also affect the performance of your vehicle.
• We recommend changing the spark plugs to 1 range colder. NGK part# PLFR6A-11 gapped to
1.1mm (0.043in.)
• Check the supercharger drive belts regularly. Replace any that show signs of cracking/tearing.
Check coolant level in intercooler often. It should be changed annually to maintain peak
performance.
• Check your air filter regularly. A clogged air filter can drastically affect your vehicle. A ‘drop in’
high performance air filter is acceptable. The addition of an “open element style” hi flow filter
system may cause high noise levels.
• High quality synthetic oil is recommended and oil changes should be done every 3,000 miles.
This improves engine durability and longevity in a forced induction application.
• Do not alter, modify or adjust the Stillen supercharger system in any way. Unauthorized
changes to boost levels, electronics or any other system will void warranties and can cause
catastrophic engine damage.
• The addition of headers or race pipes will adversely affect the performance of this kit.
