Thank you for purchasing the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) VariMax CTS-V high ow
intercooler pump upgrade kit. This kit is intended to bring the intercooler owrate of the CTS-V up to
the same owrate as the ZL1 Camaro. As you can see in the chart provided on the next page, the
factory CTS-V intercooler pump ows 25% less uid per minute than the factory intercooler pump in
the ZL1 Camaro. The VariMax intercooler pump, also shown in the chart on the next page, provides
the same owrate as the factory ZL1 Camaro intercooler pump. This kit is designed to provide easy
mounting of the intercooler pump through a custom mounting bracket. Finally, this kit features a plug
& play harness with an additional connector to allow for easy wiring of an optional manual override
switch. Installing a manual override switch could be used to circulate the intercooler uid between
runs to help cool the uid in drag racing applications.
Read the entire instruction manual before beginning installation. Many of the stock parts will
be used in reassembly.
When referencing the side of the vehicle, the driver side of the vehicle is considered the left
side and the passenger side of the vehicle is considered the right side of the vehicle.
Due to the thermal expansion of rubber coolant hoses, LPE does not recommend using
worm gear clamps to clamp the hoses to the intercooler pump. Because worm gear clamps
do not apply constant tension to the hoses, the hoses can leak when exposed to cooler
temperatures. LPE recommends the use of the OEM constant-tension clamps or spring
clamps as superior alternatives to the standard worm gear clamp.
