How to Install Edelbrock E-Force Stage 1 Street Supercharger w/ Tuner (09-10 2WD 5.4L) on your Ford F-150

Use the supplied programmer to flash the ECU and verify its compatibility. 

“Original Equipment Manufacturers often release updates to the computer programming for your vehicle. Edelbrock highly recommends that you verify, with your new car dealer, that your vehicle is equipped with the latest software version from your vehicle manufacturer, before attempting to load the Edelbrock tune.” 

• Confirm that you have the latest calibration by checking the Edelbrock website (http://www.edelbrock.com/ automotive_new/mc/ superchargers/software-tech.shtml ) Once you have found the latest tune on the site, power on the programmer, press the left arrow and select the Device Info option. Scroll down to Tune Version and compare that number to the one on the site. If they are different, download the new calibration as instructed on the website.  

• Connect the supplied PCM cable on the handheld programmer to the OBD-II connector located below the steering wheel in the passenger compartment.  

• Use directional pad to highlight Program Vehicle option and press Select button. 

• Use directional pad to highlight Pre-programmed Tune option and press Select button.

• Read disclaimer then press Select to continue.  

• Verify ignition is in the ‘Key On’ position but that the engine is not running then press Select.  

• Use directional pad to highlight your vehicle and transmission combination then press Select. 

• Use directional pad to highlight Begin Program then press Select.  

• Five separate operations will take place during this step. Completion of each operation will cause the progress bar to reset to zero. 

• Turn the vehicle off when prompted to do so by the handheld programmer.  

• Read parting message from programmer then press Select to continue.  

• Unplug the programmer cable from the OBD-II port. 

In the rare occurrence that you encounter an error message during the test flash procedure, please refer to pg. 29. 

If you are ready to install the supercharger, proceed to Step 1 of the Supercharger Installation 

OR

If you wish to return the ECU back to the factory calibration, such that the vehicle can still be driven until you are ready to begin the installation, then: 

• Put the car into Acc mode, but don’t start the vehicle.  

• Connect the supplied PCM cable to the OBD-II connector.  

• Use directional pad to highlight Program Vehicle option and press Select button.  

• Use directional pad to highlight Return To Stock option and press Select button.

• Follow the on screen instructions then turn the vehicle off when prompted to do so by the handheld programmer.  

• Read parting message from programmer then press Select to continue.  

• Unplug the programmer cable from the OBD-II port.  

• When you are ready to Install the supercharger, proceed with Step 1 and you will be prompted to re-flash the ECU towards the end of the installation procedure.

157. Remove the plastic sheet from the supercharger air inlet and install the throttle body O-ring supplied in Bag #1, on to the air inlet flange.

158. Install the stock throttle body onto the inlet flange with the stock bolts so that the TIPS is on top.

159. Attach the ETC Extension and TIPS connectors to the throttle body and connect the other end of the ETC Extension to the stock ETC harness connector.

160. Install the supplied air filter into the stock airbox.

161. Use a T20 Torx driver to remove the stock MAF sensor from the air box cover and install the supplied MAF sensor in its place.

162. Fully seat the supplied air filter in the air box then reinstall the air box cover. Do not latch the air box cover at this time.

163. Insert the silicone elbow between the throttle body and the MAFS housing and secure it with the supplied worm clamps. The best way to do this is to put the elbow on the throttle body first, then tilt the air box cover back and work the elbow on to the cover outlet as you tilt it back down. Latch the cover closed when you’re done.

164. Attach the ACT / MAF Jumper to the new MAF sensor and the O.E. MAFS connector, then connect it to the ACT sensor at the top of the supercharger. NOTE: 2012 & 2013 Navigator use harness 37-6622 included in kit.

166. Install the supplied hose onto the brake booster barb and route it to the fitting at the front of the air inlet and secure the fittings with hose clamps supplied in Bag #1. 

167. Verify that the coolant petcock is closed, then refill the coolant system.  

168. Fill the intercooler system with a 50/50 blend of water and coolant poured into the recovery tank. Fill the tank until the water level is roughly 1” from the top of the threaded neck.  

169. Reinstall the battery terminal. Turn the ignition key to the ‘ON’ position but do not start the engine.  

170. Verify that water is flowing briskly through the recovery tank, then install the cap. If water is not flowing, turn the key off and on again to bleed the system. Turn key off when finished. 

CAUTION: The power steering system must be filled and bled prior to starting the vehicle. Failure to do so may cause premature power steering pump failure. For additional information on power steering system bleeding, please refer to your service manual or contact your dealer.

It is highly recommended to use a vacuum source to purge the air out of your power steering system. If a vacuum source is not available during the time of installation, Steps 171-174 can be used as the minimum requirements for bleeding the power steering system. The assistance from another person is required to successfully perform Steps 171-174. 

171. Raise the front wheels off the ground with a service lift, or equivalent, and fill the power steering reservoir with power steering fluid to the “full cold” level. 

172. Turn the Key to the “Acc” or “On” position (DO NOT START ENGINE). Turn the steering wheel slightly to the left, approximately to the 11 o’clock position, (do not turn until lock) and have an assistant top off the fluid as soon as the fluid level drops. 

173. Leaving the reservoir cap off, slowly and smoothly turn the steering wheel back and forth from the 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock position (do not go lock to lock) until the fluid level drops in the reservoir. Have the assistant fill the reservoir as soon as the fluid level drops. This may take a few minuets to completely purge the air in the system. 

NOTE: If signs of bubbles are present, recheck all connections and repeat Step 173. 

174. Reinstall the reservoir cap when all air has been purged from the system. 

NOTE: Once the vehicle is able to start, it is recommended to remove the reservoir cap and let the engine idle while turning the steering wheel back and forth per directions in Step 173. This will help purge any air that may be trapped in the power steering system. Refill fluid as need and replace cap once finished. 

If Steps 171-174 were used to bleed the power steering system, it is highly recommended to use a vacuum source to finalize the bleeding process. 

175. Confirm that you have the latest calibration by checking the Edelbrock website (http://www.edelbrock. com/automotive_new/mc/superchargers/software-tech. shtml ) and entering your serial number in the search field.
