Vararam G8 Ram-AIR V - Manual (Page 7)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Check all hose clamps and start the vehicle
DO NOT REV the Motor just let idle with the hood CLOSED. Allow it to sit and reach operating temp (
195-210 deg F ) for 5min or so, then lift the hood and retighten the hose clamp that is on the neck of the
VR unit. Tighten this with a socket not a screwdriver, this ensures enough torque for a precision fit.
ECU tuning and relearn-
( The following procedure should be used if a custom tune or tuning device is not being used)
Disconnect the negative end of the battery cable for a full two hrs.
The computer in your vehicle needs to learn both high and low speed airflow.
Once you reconnect the battery cable ,drive the car normally for 20-30 miles then do some performance
driving, it will take your ECU about 100-150 miles to fully learn this kit ,However, if you do not do or
have time to do a complete relearn procedure by disconnecting the BAT it will still learn, it just takes
longer.
You will notice an immediate difference in power and throttle response etc.. and it will get better the
more you drive.
What will I notice right away?
1. Better throttle response
2. A lot more power and torque everywhere!
3. Once ECU learns you will see some fuel economy improvement
4. Your intake manifold and throttle body will be “COLD” to the touch – remember this is a real
ram air system.
5. Lots of Wheel Spin!
What if my check engine light comes on?
First-Do not worry or panic; The VR is a real ram air system that will see 102 kilopascals of MAP
pressure at only 48mph! and hold the manifold at 1 Atmosphere or higher any time you are WOT, so
double check all connections and the PCV line, make sure they are tight with no leaks ,remember this is a
baby Supercharger that is “over” 100% efficient, not just a CAI.
Second-Disconnect the negative side of the battery for two hrs; this will reset the ECU again , ALL
vehicles are different they don’t always take to the first relearn.
Third-Drive, Drive and drive some more, they usually just need more mileage in both high and low speed
conditions to fully dial in
If the light continues call Our Tech dep at 713 899 6456 they will rectify the issue.
