The KraftWerks Mazda Miata Supercharger kit is designed and engineered to install with ease. If you are a competent mechanic with a good set of tools the installation will be relatively simple. This is a general installation guide for the KraftWerks Mazda Miata kit however each installation may vary slightly. Please keep these key factors in mind before installing:
Please review the entire installation guide before attempting install. If you have any questions about your ability to perform this installation, we recommend you take your vehicle to a performance shop for installation
You will be doing a minimal amount of work under the car during this installation. If you do not have a workshop with lifts, you will need a good floor jack and secure jack stands. These jack stands will need to raise the car up enough so that you can get yourself under the chassis. Never work under a car without secure jack stands to support the vehicle.
For tools you will need:
– A full set of metric wrenches from 8mm to 21mm
– A full set of metric sockets from 8mm to 21mm
– A screwdriver set
– A set of metric allen wrenches
– Wire Crimping Pliers
– Heat Gun or Butane Lighter
– Electrical Tape
All of the tools required for this installation can be purchased at a local hardware or auto parts store.
Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle and work in a well-ventilated area. If you have not changed your oil and filter recently, this will be a good time to do so. High quality synthetic oil would be a good choice considering how much additional horsepower your engine will now be producing. For cold weather we recommend 5w-20 or 30 depending on how cold your climate is. In warmer weather we recommend 10w-30 or 20w-50 for extreme temperatures.
Make sure that your vehicle has premium gasoline in the tank (91 Octane or more). Run several tanks of Premium fuel through your car prior to installing the supercharger to ensure that there is good Premium grade fuel throughout the system. If you are using a discount brand of fuel, we suggest you switch to a “top tier” gasoline.
If you have more than 10,000 miles on your spark plugs, we recommend changing them. We suggest cooler spark plugs. Talk to your KraftWerks representative about the recommended spark plugs for your application.
