AMPC KIT INSTALL
GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
This installation manual will walk you through the necessary steps to install your Racing Instrument’s
advanced methanol pump controller kit. Instructions for accessing and using the advanced methanol
pump controller are not included in this document and can be found in the document titled “AMPC
INTERFACE GUIDE” found in the support tab on the advanced methanol pump controller kit product
page. Please read all warnings before performing the installation of the kit. Racing Instrument’s is
dedicated to building “Precision Engineered, Racing Instrumentation.” While professional installation is
recommended, if you encounter any issues during the installation process, please reach out to our
support team for assistance or parts at support@racinginstruments.com.
WARNINGS AND NOTICES
NOTICE:
This kit does not include the drill bit required for tapping the windshield wiper fluid tank
properly, please refer to https://racinginstruments.com/ for the drill kit.
WARNING!
This type of work MUST be performed in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or have an
open flame present near methanol vapors or an explosion may result.
WARNING!
The advanced methanol pump controller kit consists of several sophisticated components.
Failure of any one component does not constitute, nor does it justify, warranty of the
complete system. Individual service items are available for replacement of components. If
assistance is required or if you need further warranty clarification, you can contact Racing
Instrument’s Support at the email shown above.
WARNING!
To preserve warranty, these instructions must be read and followed thoroughly and
completely before and during installation. It is important that you become familiar with the
parts and the installation of the advanced methanol pump controller kit before you begin.
Failure to read and understand these instructions could result in damage to advanced
methanol pump controller kit components that are not covered by the warranty and could
result in serious personal injury and property damage.
WARNING!
Failure to follow all of the above will result in an improper installation, which may lead to
personal injury, including death, and/or property damage. Improper installation and/or use of
this or any Racing Instrument’s product will void all warranties.

AMPC KIT INSTALL
GUIDE
WARNING!
For the safety and protection of you and others, only a trained mechanic having adequate
experience must perform the installation, adjustment, and repair. It is particularly important
to remember one of the very basic principles of safety: fuel vapors are heavier than air and
tend to collect in low places where an explosive fuel/air mixture may be ignited by any spark
or flame resulting in property damage, personal injury, and/or death. Extreme caution must
be exercised to prevent spillage and thus eliminate the formation of such fuel vapors.
WARNING!
For the safety and protection of you and others, use safe jacking and lift practices to get the
vehicle in the air. We provide an example but are not responsible for any personal injury,
including death, and/or property damage due to poor jacking and lifting safety.
INCLUDED PARTS:
In your kit you will find these parts listed in the table below. For replacement parts, contact our support
team.

GUIDE
TOOLS
You will need a drill, t-15, 7mm, 10mm, 13mm, 19mm sockets, ratchet, torque wrench, jack stands and a
jack. The drill bit needed for the tank is not supplied in the kit, please order the tap kit on our site or
source a 7/8" & R drill bit and a 1/8 NPT tap.
PREREQUISITES
THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. This installation must be
performed on a cool car in a well-ventilated area with no open flames or ignition sources. See warnings
for more.
INSTALLATION
STEP 1: JACKING
We recommend using a lift for the installation of our kit but if you do not have access to a lift,
we have provided instructions on how to safely get the car in the air. Start by chalking the front
wheels to prevent the car from rolling. Put the jack pad on the subframe member and jack the
car high enough to fit jack stands under the car. Place the jack stands on either side’s jack pucks.
STEP 2: REMOVING THE WHEEL
With an air impact or electric impact and a 19mm socket (Stock Lugs), remove the lug nuts and
carefully remove the wheel and tire and set it to the side. If you do not have a strong enough
impact, drop the car back down and break the lugs using a breaker bar. Jack the car back up and
set the jack stands like in the above section before continuing to remove the lugs with a ratchet
and socket.

GUIDE
Grab a T-15, 10mm and 7mm socket and a ratchet or small impact. Remove the 7mm and 10mm
bolts circled red in figure 1, note the arrow is pointing at a hidden 10mm. Pull off the splash
guard that is held in by clips in figure 2. Next, remove the T-15’s in the wheel well circled in
figure 3. Put these screws and bolts in a cup or other safe place to prevent them from being lost.
Once all bolts are removed, grab the side of the wheelwell liner and pull it towards the rotor.
You should now see the exposed windshield wiper fluid tank.

STEP 4: DRILLING THE HOLE
Reference the bottom of the tank in figure 4. Using a 7/8" drill bit or tapered bit, drill a hole
where the circle is in figure 4. If you are using an electric drill, please use caution while drilling.
Make sure to have a pan or bucket to catch fluid once the hole is drilled. After all the excess has
drained out, push in the self-sealing tank tap with the metal grate going inside the tank. Unplug
the windshield wiper fluid pump harness. The pump is on the side of the tank.

AMPC KIT INSTALL
GUIDE
Route the pump power leads, and the controller power leads from the harness provided
through the hole circled in figure 5. A razor may be required to cut the grommet open enough
for the harness. Use a hanger or fish tape to fish the harness through to the windshield wiper
fluid tank’s location as seen in figure 6. Run the controller positive wire through the back of the
engine bay, being careful to avoid the exhaust or any excessive heat exposure. Use zip ties to
secure. Remove the positive power bolt from the fuse box and add the controller harness
positive the stud, tighten the bolt being careful not to apply too much force. On the inside of the
driver’s side footwell, plug in the OBDII intercept cable and controller DT-12 connector. Hide the
controller in the footwell panel on the side using zip ties.
