Pleasevisitourwebsiteathttp://www.n2mb.comforthelatestversionoftheWOTBox
softwareandinstallationinstructions.
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.

Notes:
1) ThelettersafterthePCMpinnumbersindicatewhichofthethreecamlockPCM
connectorsthepinisapartof.Eisthebottomconnector,Bisthemiddleconnector,
andTisthetopconnector(seestep10.)
2) IgnitionCoilPowerisonPin2ofeachcoilfor2007‐2009,andonpin1for2005‐2006.
3) WhilethewirethattheRED/ORANGE WOTBoxPairmustbesplicedtoconnectstoPin
2 onthecoils,itissplitaftertheBECandconnectedtoPin2onEACHcoil.Ifthe
RED/ORANGEWOTBoxPairisconnectedatthecoils,eachwireofthepairmustbe
splicedtopin2ofeachofthe8coils.It’sfareasiertodisassembletheBECandspliceat
thefuse.Pin2onacoilmaybeused,however,forcontinuitycheckingtoensurethe
correctwirehasbeenfound.
4) Theseinstructionswerewrittenwiththehelpofa2007GT500.Yourvehiclemaydiffer
slightly.

10) Determinewhichconnectorthe
GREENWOTBoxWiregoestofor
yourcarwiththepinoutcharts
above.Removeenoughoftheloom
behindthisconnectortoaccessthe
wires.SplicetheGREENWOTBox
WireintotheWHITEwireonthepin
indicatedonyourvehicle’schart.
UsetheN2MBrecommended
solderingtechniqueavailableat
www.n2mb.com.
11) Ifyouhaven’talready,remove
enoughoftheloombehindthe
middleconnectortoaccessthe
wires.SplicetheBLUEWOTBox
WireintotheWHITEwireonpin17
oftheMIDDLECONNECTOR.Use
theN2MBrecommendedsoldering
technique.Re‐installtheloomonall
connectorsaccessedandtape
securelywithelectricaltape.
12) Removeenoughoftheloombehind
thebottomconnectortoaccessthe
wires.SplicetheYELLOWWOTBox
WireintotheBLACK/PINKwireon
pin47oftheBOTTOMCONNECTOR.
UsetheN2MBrecommended
solderingtechnique.Re‐installthe

13) TheBussedElectricalCenteris
locateddirectlytothepassenger
sideofthePCM.Removeitscover.
14) Removethe4boltsinthecenterof
theBECandremovethetopofitto
allowaccesstotheconnectors
underneath.
15) Removethebackshellonthe
connectorcontainingthepin
requiredfortheRED&ORANGE
WOTBoxPaironyourvehicle(see
pinout chart.)

16) OntheIgnitionCoilPowerpinfor
yourvehicle,therearetworedwires
for8cylindervehiclesandonefor6
cylindervehicles.Makesureto
leaveenoughroomtostripand
splice,andcutthis/thesewires.
17) JointheREDWOTBoxWiretothe
wireend/endscomingfromthe
connector.
18) JointheORANGEWOTBoxWireof
theRED&ORANGEPairtothewire
end/endsgoingbackintothe
harness.Here,thewireappearsred
ononeside,butthat’sonlythe
residuefromseparatingtheRed&
OrangePair.
19) ReplacetheBackBackshellandre‐
installtheconnectorsintotheupper
portionoftheBEC.Re‐assemblethe
BEC.

20) Re‐installthe3cam‐lockconnectors.
Theyeachwillonlyfitintotheir
intendedsocketonthePCM.
21) Nearthebatteryonthesuspension
tower,there’sachassisground.
RoutetheSINGLEBLACKWOTBox
Wiretothislocation,cutitto
length,stripit,andcrimpthe
includedeyeletonthebareend.
22) Removethemaingroundboltand
ensurethatthesurfacesunderthe
headoftheboltandontopofthe
chassisgroundeyeletareclean.If
theyarenot,cleanthemwith
sandpaper.SlidefirsttheSINGLE
BLACKWOTBoxWireeyelet,then
thechassisgroundeyeletontothe
bolt,andre‐installthebolt.
20)
22)

23) ReinstalltheFenderLinerandWheel.Ensurethateverythingthatwasremovedfor
installationhasbeenreplacedbesidesthe12Vbatterynegative.InserttheWOTBox
harnessintotheWOTBox,reconnectthe12Vbatterynegative,andclosethehood.
24) 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.
