Solderalljoints.TheN2MBrecommendedsolderingmethodisavailableat
http://www.n2mb.com.Useamultimetertoverifyallwiresbeforetheyarecutortapped
into.Thecolorsofwiresfrommodelyeartomodelyearmaydiffer,andmaybedifferenton
yourcarfromthosedescribedintheseinstructions.Wherediscrepanciesareknown,they
aredescribed,buttheremaybemorediscrepanciesthanthoselisted.Thebestwaytoknow
thatyouhavetherightwireistochecktheconnectivitytotheECUand/orsensoratthepins
described.
Intheseinstructions,picturesincludeotheraftermarketalterationsinadditiontotheWOT
Box.N2MBisnotaffiliatedwiththesedevices.Inaddition,ifyouseesomethingthatisn’tin
yourvehicle,don’tworry.
Routewiresinthemannerthatyouwantthemtoliepermanentlybeforeconnectingthem.
Cutwirestolengthbeforesoldering;avoidcoilingwiresofexcessivelengthastheycancause
noiseinthecircuit,alteringtheoperationoftheWOTBox.Spendingsomeextratimehere
willenhancetheaestheticsoftheinstall.Ziptiesareincludedtosecurethewiresawayfrom
heat,movingparts,sharpedges,oranythingelsethatcandamagethewires.

easier

todisassembletheBECandspliceatthefuse.Pin2onacoilmaybeused,however,for

“LaunchControl”windowandthe“No‐LiftShift”window.Todothis,ensurethatyou
havetheWOTBoxconnectedtothevehicle,changetheTPSthresholdto1.7V,click
“WRITE”,andtesttodetermineiftheWOTBoxreads“up”or“dn”inthe“Vehicle


19) TesttheWOTBoxasdescribedbelow,andthenre‐installtherightpassengersidekick
panel.

Troubleshooting‐TestingtheWOTBox
1. Keyonthecarbutdonotstarttheengine.Pressthegaspedaltothefloor.Youshouldsee
theLEDontheWOTBoxstarttorapidlyblink.Ifitdoesnot,checkyourAPPsensorsignal
connection(WOTBoxBLUEwire).
2. Next,withthegaspedalstilldepressed,presstheclutchpedaltothefloor.Youshouldsee
theLEDontheWOTBoxbrieflygoout,andthencomebackonsolidforonesecondand
thenfinallyresumeblinkingrapidly.Ifyoudonotseethis,checkyourClutchPedalPosition
Switchsignalconnection(WOTBoxGREENwire).
3. Next,starttheengine.Quicklypressthegaspedaltothefloorandimmediatelysteponthe
clutch.Youshouldheartheenginestarttorevup,stumbleforashortperiodwhilethe
ignitioniscut,thenreturnbackonandcontinuerevving.Removeyourfootfromthegas
beforeyouhittherevlimiter.The2‐stepwillnotengageifthegasisdepressedbeforethe
clutch.Thisisnormal.IftheenginedoesnotstumbleorpausewhentheLEDturnsout,then
checktheRED/ORANGEpairedwire.VerifythattheREDandORANGE16AWGwiresare
wired facingtheproperway.Iftheyarereversed,theignitioncutwillnotwork.
4. Lastly,testthe2‐Step.Presstheclutchpedaldownandthenquicklypressthegaspedalall
thewaydown.Thegaspedalmustbeflooredforthe2‐steptoengage.Theengineshould
revuptothedesiredRPMandhold.Ifitdoesnot,besuretoremoveyourfootfromthegas
beforeyouhittherevlimiter.Ifthe2‐stepdoesnotwork,checktheWOTBoxYELLOW
wire.
5. TheWOTBoxGraphicalUserInterfacehassomeinherenttroubleshootingcapability.Ifyou
haveaccesstoalaptop,itmaybeusefulforyoutodownloadtheGUIat
www.n2mb.com/wotboxsoftwareandfollowtheinstructionsthere.
Usage
TousetheWOTShiftfeature,keepyourfootfullyonthegasandshiftquicklyusingtheclutch.
Keepthegasfullydepressedthroughtheshift.TheWOTBoxwilldetecttheclutchswitchsignal
andbrieflycuttheignitiontoenableaneffortlessshift.
Tousethe2‐Stepfeature,fullydepresstheclutch.Next,fullydepressthegaspedaltothefloor.
TheenginewillrevupandholdtheRPMthatyouhaveset.Quicklyreleasetheclutchwhile
leavingthegasfullydepressedtolaunchthecar.
