Thank you for purchasing the SFR turbo system for the Smart Car. We are sure you will be pleased with the new found performace of your Smart Car.
We will break the installation up into a few sections such as old parts removal, new parts installation,etc.......This installation guide will cover every aspect of the installation  so that you can get up and runnning quickly. The following  instructions are intended for those that have some basic mechanical abilites and are familiar with these particular vehicles. If you are a novice mechanic or unfamiliar with procedures like removing the exhaust system, proper removal and containment of fluids such as oil and coolant, etc....... then this installation should be left to a professional.

Parts Removal:
Disconnect negative(-) lead from battery
Remove rear lower bumper cover
Remove engine cover
Remove plastic trim piece housing ECU(passenger side rear)
Remove airbox
Remove intake hose
Remove fuel rail (do not disconnect fuel line)
Remove injectors
Remove oil drain bolt
Drain oil
Remove oil pressure sensor
Remove cat-back exhaust system
Remove catyltic convertor heatshield

Parts Installation:
Heat Management:
Turbochargers create alot of heat and we have incorporated a few ways to keep the heat down and your car cool.Once you have removed the exhaust system,air box,etc.......

The first step is to remove about 50% of the insulation on the drivers side of the engine cover.Cut through the insulation with a razor so you get a nice clean cut.

Use some of the aluminized heat barrier we provided and apply this to the engine cover.Put some on the top of the cover in the same area.

Use a small one inch strip to line the engine bay where the rubber seal sits that is on the engine cover.

Use another small portion of this heat barrier to wrap up the pump and the electrical connector and wiring.Wrap the complete pump.

You will then need to remove the factory sound insulation in the engine compartment.You will find this mounted to the rear of the chasis inside the engine bay.This material is best removed from underneath the car.Note:If you dont remove it, it will catch on fire!!!

Once this is removed you will use some of the supplied aluminized heat barrier we provide to protect some of the metal surfaces in youe engine compartment.Note:there is enough materials to protect the chasis,the pump and the engine cover.

Exhaust components
Note:For these next steps do not fully tighten all of these nuts and bolts until all of the exhaust components are installed.Use anti seize on all hardware! Install catylitic to turbo upipe (but do not fully tighten the nuts)

Note: Reuse existing hardware and stock gasket or replace with a new one if yours is not in good condition.
Install turbo mounting bracket to factory mount using the factory hardware for the catylitic convertor.This bracket will line up with four bolt turbo inlet flange if you are looking up from underneath the car.

Install turbocharger using the 8 x1.25mm hardware and stainless gasket we supplied.When installing the turbocharger make sure you install the two long allen heads through the turbo mounting bracket,through the turbo upipe and though the turbo inlet flange.The red dots in the picture above will give you an idea of how the bracket attaches.This will add extra support for the turbocharger.In some cases it is necessary to index the turbo charger so the positioning of the compressor housing is "clocked" so it meets up with the intercooler when mounted to the turbo upipe.This is done by loosening the four 8mm bolts around the compressor housing and rotating the housing.You can only index it so much as the internal wastegate acuator only has so much deflection.The main thing to make certain of is the compressor is not pointing in a way which would cause the misalignment of the intercooler(stage 2 ) or charge pipe(stage 1).

Install downpipe.You will need to use the four supplied 8 x 1.25mm allen heads to secure the downpipe to the heatshield and turbocharger.

The stainless heatshield serves two purposes. 1. It is a heat shield to protect against radiant heat from the turbo and 2.it acts like a gasket for the downpipe.

At this point you can install the muffler onto the downpipe and both factory hangers to make sure it fits good and the alignment is correct(this is only critical if you have the twin tip center exit exhaust option.Note:Center exhaust option will require trimming the rear plastic panel.

If everything fits good then you can pull the muffler back off and go through and tighten all the bolts on the exhaust side of the turbo system.

Install oil feed line into the block(where the oil pressure sensor was previously mounted).

Install pressure sensor into extra fitting on the oil feed line.

Route the oil line to the turbocharger.
Install 3-AN to 1/8NPT adaptors into the turbos(this has been done for you before the turbo ships)
Install oil feed line on turbo and tighten.

Install turbo oil drain flanges(this has been done for you before the turbo ships)

Previously you removed the oil drain bolt.This bolt will need to be tapped to 1/4" npt for the oil drain fitting we supply.Once this is tapped,install the drain bolt back into the block and install the oil drain fitting we provided into the drain fitting.We reccomend some teflon tape on the threads.Make sure you tighten the fitting enough so that it is "clocked" correctly as see in this picture above.

Install the 5/8" oil return hose using the supplied hose clamps onto this fitting and the drain flange on the bottom of the turbo.You will need to trim some of the plastic near the drain plug so that it cannot cut into this hose.Make sure you ziptie the hose to the sensor on the side of the block so the hose cannot come in contact with the axle.

The next thing to be done is too install the vacuum hardline to a manifold pressure source that will run to the FTC computer.Note:we mount the FTC computer underneath the passenger seat to allow easy access.

You can do this by using the small hole in the engine compartment and run the hardline though here to the FTC.Just slide the hardline into the vacuum line coming out of the FTC and zip tie it.

You will then cut the factory vaccum line before the check valve(closest to intake manifold) and use the T and small silicone hose to tap into the factory line.Make sure your connection looks like the connection above.Note:If you get put the T in on the wrong side of the check valve,the FTC will not get a manifold pressure source and wont work correctly and could cause engine failure!

Intercoolers
Install intercooler and pipe Mount the intercooler to the factory mounting point with the 6 x 1.00mm bolt we provide.With the intercooler installed correctly,the inlet side of the intercooler should line directly up with the turbocharger compressor outlet.

You can use one of the 2" straight silicone hoses and two hose clamps to secure the intercooler and turbo.You will then need to install one of the 2" 90 degree silicone hoses onto the intercooler outlet.Note:These hoses might require a little trimming for proper fitment.The next step will be to install the charge pipe from the intercooler to throttlebody using the last piece of 2" straight silicone hose.

You can now install the last 2" 90 degree silicone hose onto the turbo inlet.Install the intake pipe and airfilter.Finaly you can install the crank case breather filter onto the fitting on the valve cover.

Install fuel injectors.Use the supplied spacers and hardware.With each kit we provide the neccessary aluminum fuel rail spacers and new mounting hardware.

These are a vital component of the system because it allows us to use a similair style, hi-flow fuel injector.Remember to plug the injectors in once they are installed.

The final step is too wire up the FTC EMSand the electric fan for the intercooler.Please see additional instruction sheet for wire connections which is included in the box the FTC comes in.

Note:To get a good power supply for the FTC EMS and electric fan we reccomend tapping into pin #1 on this 8 pin connector pictured above.

Install engine cover
Install rear bumper cover
Re-connect Negative (-) on battery
Fill with oil Note:We reccomend using 15/50 Mobil 1 oil with this turbo system
Only use 91 0ctane or higher fuel in this car.

Install Complete
Now that you have completed the installation of your Speed Force Racing turbo system,you can start to enjoy your new found power.Before you did this however,we reccomend checking you boost and air/fuel ratios to make sure everything is installed correclty and wrking properly.Be sure that you have the proper amount of oil.We reccomend that you take it easy the first few hundred miles so that you can break in the turbo.You might have noticed some new and interesting sounds coming from your motor. The first noise you are probably aware of now would be the turbo spooling which creates a whooshing sound as the rpms climb.Do not be alarmed by this new sound as it is a normal sound for this type of upgrade.
