Installation Instructions for 5.2L Jeep Cherokee - 50 State Smog Legal per CARB EO # D-213-16 Part No. 4CJ218-020S 1996 5.2L Jeep Cherokee - 49 State Smog Legal

Congratulations on selecting the best performing and best backed automotive supercharger available today... the VORTECH V-1S Supercharger!
Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street Supercharger System Owner's Manual which includes the Limited Warranty Program and the Warranty Registration form and return envelope. Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30 to 35% and horsepower of between 35 and 45% can be expected with the boost levels specified by Vortech Engineering. This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained engines. Installation on a worn-out or damaged engine is not recommended and may result in failure of the engine as well as the supercharger. Vortech Engineering is not responsible for engine damage. Installation on new vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in procedures are followed. For best performance and continued durability, please take note of the following key points: 1. Use only premium grade fuel 92 octane or higher (R+M/2). 2. The engine must have stock compression ratio. 3. If the engine has been modified in any way, check with Vortech prior to using this product. 4. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no boost) until problem is resolved. 5. Perform an oil and filter change upon completion of this installation and prior to test driving your vehicle. Thereafter, always use a high grade SF rated engine oil or a high quality synthetic, and change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or less. Never attempt to extend the oil change interval beyond 3,000 miles, regardless of oil manufacturer's claims, as potential damage to the supercharger may result. 6. Before beginning installation, replace all spark plugs that are older than 1 year or 10,000 miles with original heat range plugs as specified by the manufacturer and reset timing to factory specifications (follow the procedures indicated within the factory repair manual and/or as indicated on the factory underhood emissions tag). Do not use platinum spark plugs unless they are original equipment. Change spark plugs every 15,000 miles and spark plug wires every 50,000 miles or earlier.

1. PREPARATION/REMOVAL A. Disconnect the battery, remove the battery box and battery tray. Set aside. Separate the vacuum canister from the bottom of the tray. B. Remove the accessory drive belt. C. Remove the belt tensioner assembly, separate it from the mounting bracket and set aside. D. Disconnect and remove the crankcase breather hose. E. Remove the entire air filter/inlet assembly. F. Remove the windshield washer reservoir and set aside. G. Remove the ignition coil and bracket. Set aside. H. Remove the front skid plate, if equipped. 2. OIL DRAIN A. To provide an oil drain for the supercharger, it is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan. The best way to provide this hole is to punch the hole rather than drill. B. Rotate the engine until the mark on the damper is aligned with the TDC (top dead center) tag on the front of the engine. To aid you in this, remove the distributor cap and watch the ignition rotor. It should end up between #5 and #7 electrodes as shown in the graphic. C. Locate and mark hole per diagram. Remove paint around the hole area. Layout the hole center per the diagram. D. Use a small center punch to perforate the pan and expand the hole. Switch to a larger diameter punch and expand the hole further to approximately 9/16" diameter. Most punches are made from hexagon material and may be placed in a socket with an extension to make this procedure easier. NOTE: Use extreme caution not to hit the crankshaft while punching the pan. If a clearance problem exists, rotate the crankshaft until clearance is obtained. E. Tap the hole with a 3/8" NPT tap approximately 1/4" deep. Pack the flutes of the tap with heavy grease to hold chips. Use a small magnet to check for any stray chips. NOTE: This method of rolling over the lip of the hole and tapping it works very well if carefully done and should cause no problems.

Apply more sealer to the male threads of the 3/8" NPT x 45 street elbow and secure in the hole. Position the fitting so that it points up toward the top/front of the vehicle at approximately a 45 angle. Make sure a seal is formed all around the fitting. Thread the 3/8" NPT x 1/2" barb fitting into the 45 street elbow using a small amount of pipe sealer. G. Drain engine oil and change filter. H. The drain hose will be attached to the fitting in later steps. If your installation is going to be over several days we suggest that you cover the fitting to protect it from dirt.

3. POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER A. Remove the plastic power distribution center (PDC) (main fuse box located underhood on the passenger side) from its mounting bracket. Remove bracket from vehicle. B. Drill the rivets out of the PDC mounting bracket. Retain the upper portion and discard lower. C. Re-rivet the upper bracket to the lower bracket provided in the kit. See graphic. NOTE: Due to different vehicle applications, two mounting brackets are supplied in each kit. 1995 and earlier models will use the bracket with four mating holes (see graphic) and 19961997 models will use the bracket with three mating holes. D. Disconnect the positive battery cable from the PDC. Carefully remove about one inch of the tape and wire cover over the wire loom going into the power distribution center. E. Place the new PDC bracket against the passenger side inner fenderwell, allowing enough space for the power distribution center to slide into its forwardmost position with the positive terminal cover on. (See photo above.) F. Mark mounting hole location. Drill and secure with supplied sheetmetal screws.
