Tool: T40 Torx

Install the main unit of the Particle Separator using the supplied M6 screws and washers and attaching it to the front and rear Particle Separator brackets. It will need to be pressed into the scoop/seal hard to line up the screws. This ensures a tight seal.

Tool: 4mm Hex key

Tighten the rear PS bracket using a wrench

Tool: 10mm Wrench

Install the bottom PS bracket to the rear of the scoop by first hand tightening the supplied M6 screws and washer leaving it a bit loose. Then pull the other end of the bracket past the rear of the Particle Separator so it snaps up underneath it pulling it into the scoop seal. Then fully tighten the screws into the rear of the scoop.

Locate the ignition sensor and remove the top clip piece.

Tool: Phillips screwdriver

Install the ignition Sensor onto the positive ignition coil wire placing it about 1” away from the connector. Make sure that the top clip piece touches the bottom clip piece on the inside. Use Zip ties on each side of the connector to ensure it does not slide up or down the wire during use.

Tool: Phillips screwdriver

Route the sensor harness towards the front of the vehicle, under the airbox and pass the connector through the opening underneath the frame on the right side. Use zip ties to secure the harness to the frame away from engine components.

Locate the Y connector harness and familiarize yourself with it using the picture for this step. One side will have a single connector that connects to the scavenge fan from the PS. The other end has two connectors: one square 4 pin connector that connects to the ignition sensor, and one flat 3 pin connector that connects to the main power harness.

Plug the square 4 pin connector on the Y harness into the connector on the ignition sensor that you pulled through the frame earlier (See another view of routing in this picture).

Connect the single 3 pin connector on the other side of the Y harness into the connector from the Scavenge fan coming from the main Particle Separator unit.

Bundle the remaining length of the Y harness if necessary for your vehicle application, and zip tie it to the chassis as shown with the connector that goes to the main harness pointing down.

For 4-seater applications, fold the back to seats forward and remove the back seat panel by removing the 11 screws and one push pin on the passenger side. Then pull up and remove the panel.

Remove cupholders, both front and rear if applicable, by simply pulling up and out. This will allow for easier wire harness routing.

For 4-seater applications, remove the back center console panel by simply pulling out and away.

Remove the 6 screws securing the front passenger side center console panel so you are able to pull the bottom forward, but not fully remove. Make sure to remove the ones next the the seat as well.

Remove the front in-dash tray by using a pry tool or screw driver to pop out both sides under the handles, then pull up and out.

Route the connector end of the main power harness through the hole in the dash down through to the passenger side and pull enough through to route the rest of the harness.

Pull the center console side panel out from the bottom and insert the connector underneath it as shown. You can grab a hold of it from the cupholder opening. Once it is through, push the rest of the harness into the center console under the panel as well.

Pull the center console side panel out from the bottom and insert the connector underneath it as shown. You can grab a hold of it from the cupholder opening. Once it is through, push the rest of the harness into the center console under the panel as well.

For 4-seater, route the harness back through the center console and out where you removed the back seat panel.

Pull the harness to the back under the frame and sway bar.

Connect the main harness to the Y-splitter harness end. Use zip ties to secure the bundle you made before as well as any loose harness from the ignition sensor.

Connect the pulse connector to one of the plug-ins in the dash.

Remove the airbox lid by undoing the latches and pulling off. Remove the current lid seal by simply pulling it out. Install the new airbox lid seal provided by pressing it in to the channel in the lid. Make sure the yellow side is facing up. Reinstall the airbox lid.

Secure passenger side panel with screws removed in step 34.

Reinstall the rear brake light using the 3 plastic screws from before. Reconnect the power harness to the light.

Tool: T30 Torx

Reinstall the rear body panel assembly with the oem hardware removed before. Remember to pull the rubber seal holding the gas fill cap back into the plastic.

Tools: T40 Torx

Install the bed back onto the vehicle and screw in the 4 bolts to secure it to the frame. The install is now complete. Check everything over to make sure all connections are tight, and all electrical plugs are connected properly.

You have now completed the installation for your new Particle Separator. To ensure that everything is installed correctly and there are no problems with any part of the electrical system, we need to run a test to verify the function of the whisper quiet fan technology system. 

Test the particle separator with these steps:

Turn the ignition to the key on position. The fans on the particle separator should be at 20% speed and should barely be audible.

Turn the ignition on. The fans should be at 50% speed and barely be audible over the engine idle noise.

Rev the engine to a constant 3000 rpm for 5 seconds and then take your foot off of the gas. The fans should build to and stay at max speed during the 5 seconds, and decelerate back to 50% speed 2 seconds after you let your foot off of the gas.

If your particle behaves as these tests describe, the installation is complete. If the separator does not act as described, please watch our electrical system troubleshooting video to determine the cause of the misbehavior.
